Once upon a time I talked about Itto in terms of the really awesome way MiHoYo portrayed and interpreted the Red Oni, Blue Oni story. His Character Quest focuses on it and it was a really touching story not to mention it justified how he managed to get a Geo Vision of all things. He isn't quite qualified compared to the other Geo characters after all. 
But this event talks more about that qualification part. And that's much more light hearted, kinda anime-ish and very much related to modern Japanese culture. Fellow Youtuber RedFlaim actually made a video about it but basically Itto is what Japanese society calls a delinquent. You know like these guys.
I think it gets dubbed as gang kids but it's pretty easy to see the differences between them and actual gang members.
According to RedFlaim their style is from Visual Kei but I mostly care about the behavior because there's been a movement to try understanding instead of ostracizing them. In the past like you can see in older anime these guys are just the typical minor thug characters you might see the hero beating up to show viewers how strong he is. But more and more these guys are showing up as actually good hearted people that just happened to have fallen through the cracks of Japan's very rigid society.
For example some of the things that make people stand out as delinquents is just having that Visual Kei style or liking punk rock. Maybe they don't want a standard job and they tend to spend their time loitering around with their friends. They aren't really causing trouble but in Japan "the nail that sticks out gets hammered" and just by not acting or dressing like society expects of them means they must be delinquents.
In terms of Itto it's pretty much because he's a grown man who still acts like a child. (and loses to them in children's games) Most of his look is based on oni in Kabuki but then you have his jacket and his idle animation where he combs his hair. And more recently in the current event his gang talks about how they spent all their money on their unique look which stands out in Inazuma. So that would already get them the unwanted attention and then on top of that what does Itto say again? He's the "say-what-I-mean, mean-what-I-say, might-sound-mean-but-I-say-it-anyway" kinda guy. Yeah Japan's not like that. They're more of an imply-what-they-want-to-mean-and-never-actually-come-out-and-say-it kinda society. And yes rudeness in terms of just being direct is a delinquent quality. If you watch enough interviews of Japanese people asking their opinions on things you'll notice how they circle round and round without actually settling on a side just so they don't sound too forward.
Funny enough I think just by being a delinquent and not actually having a stated goal with it also justifies his Geo Vision. He lives his life the way he wants which is something Japanese people have stated they want for their society but it's just too rigid to attempt to change because otherwise you end up marked as a delinquent and ostracized. So let's see if Itto gets anywhere with both of his paths in life.
