 abstract={ In this paper, we characterise the analytic functions $\f $ mapping the open unit disk $\D $ into itself whose induced composition operator $C_\f : f\mapsto f\circ \f $ is an isometry on the Bloch space. We show that such functions are either rotations of the identity function or have a factorisation $\f =gB$ where $g$ is a non-vanishing analytic function from $\D $ into the closure of $\D $, and $B$ is an infinite Blaschke product whose zeros form a sequence $\{z_n\}$ containing 0 and a subsequence $\{z_{n_{j}}\}$ satisfying the conditions $\bigl |g(z_{n_{j}})\bigr |\to 1$, and $$\lim _{j\to \infty }\prod _{k\ne n_j}\Bigl |\frac {z_{n_j}-z_k}{1-\overline {z_{n_j}}z_k}\Bigr |=1.$$ }
