Neneko Chigiri

Neneko is kind-hearted and supportive of her son's ambitions. She does not pressure Hyoma to abandon football despite the difficulties surrounding his career, instead remaining interested in seeing him pursue what matters to him.

Her behavior during the U-20 match is warm and enthusiastic. She attends alongside Koyuki and reacts emotionally to Hyoma's involvement, showing that his progress through Blue Lock remains important to the family even though they are separated from the project itself.

Canon gives Neneko relatively limited independent characterization beyond her role within the Chigiri family, so her established personality centers primarily on her affection for and support of her children.

Neneko is not a competitive footballer and has no established footballing abilities or special techniques.

Her role is entirely outside Blue Lock's competitive structure. She provides family context for Hyoma and demonstrates that his development as a striker is occurring alongside relationships and responsibilities that continue beyond the facility.

Neneko first appears prominently among the spectators watching the match between the Blue Lock Eleven and Japan U-20. Her presence allows the story to show how Blue Lock's growing public importance is being experienced by the families of its participants.

She watches Hyoma compete on a national stage after his earlier uncertainty about his footballing future. The scene connects his transformation inside Blue Lock with the family that knew him before he entered the project.

Neneko remains a minor supporting figure whose appearances primarily reinforce Hyoma's personal background rather than creating a separate storyline of her own.

Hyoma Chigiri is Neneko's son. She supports his desire to pursue football and watches his progress through Blue Lock with pride.

Koyuki Chigiri is Neneko's daughter and Hyoma Chigiri's older sister. Neneko and Koyuki Chigiri attend the U-20 match together to support him.
