Oikawa holds a deep resentment toward Kageyama—he considers himself his alter ego—because he feels inferior to Tobio. Kageyama was always considered a genius, while Oikawa wasn't; he wasn't born with talent, but rather forged it.

Tōru Oikawa 「及川徹, Oikawa Tōru?」 is a 3rd year student at Aoba Jōsai High School. He is the captain of the volleyball team and is widely regarded as the team's best player, despite not being the star. Let's talk about his favorite things: His favorite motivational quote is "Hit it until it breaks!." He loves milk bread and volleyball; in his free time, he coaches his nephew and other kids at the Lil Tykes Volleyball Classroom. Oikawa also really likes the subject related to aliens and astrophysics! He had a girlfriend who broke up with him because of his obsession with volleyball, and it has also been speculated that another factor that led to the end of their relationship was that he constantly talked about Iwaizumi.

• He was born on July 20, 1994, which makes him a Cancer.

• Currently, in 2023, he will be 29 years old.

• One of the characters who shines the brightest is Tooru Oikawa, presented as the first major villain and Kageyama's alter ego. The Aoba Johsai setter initially appears as a teenager in love with volleyball, irreverent, proud, and with great self-esteem. But it's necessary to continue peeling back the superficial layers to discover his true personality, which is quite different from the outward image he gives. Oikawa lived his entire amateur sports career in the shadow of two people: Kageyama himself, with whom he shared a team in the beginning and whose potential eclipsed everyone else to the point that they came to consider him their replacement; and Ushijima, the captain of the team that always ended up defeating him.

• Throughout the series, he is the most wounded and frustrated character of all. His maturity was affected by the torture of seeing himself as inferior to others, by constantly cursing himself for not being up to the challenge even though he trained with all his might to be so. But no obstacle will be great enough to stop him. His greatest weapon is his pride, his guide on the path to his own redemption.

Oikawa has dark brown hair that is swept outwards and eyes of the corresponding color. Many people find him attractive, to the point where several girls follow him around. Oikawa frequently smiles or grins, although Iwaizumi notes that these expressions are rarely genuine. He tends to make victory signs or large waving gestures, which are often accompanied by broad smiles or a wink. Another trademark expression of his is sticking out his tongue while smiling and winking.

Oikawa is of decent height for a volleyball player, standing just over six feet. While on the court, Oikawa wears the standard aqua and white Aoba Johsai High uniform emblazoned with the number one. He also wears dark gray athletic shoes with blue details. He wears a white kneepad on his right leg, contrasting with the black one worn on his left and by the other players in the series. At other times, Oikawa dresses in the Aoba Johsai uniform, which consists of khakis with dark brown detailing, a cream-colored vest, a dark red tie, a lavender button-down shirt, and a white blazer. During practices, he wears an aqua shirt and white shorts. During the finals match between Karasuno and Shiratorizawa, Oikawa is shown to wear glasses but it's unknown if he truly needs them or not.

Despite his flirtatious nature (which makes him famous amongst female students, much to Tanaka and Nishinoya's envy) and childishness, Oikawa is an excellent, well-rounded player and is extremely serious about volleyball. He's known to have a "disgusting personality" amongst both opponents and his own teammates because of his smug and outwardly flippant attitude. Oikawa also frequently makes cheerful remarks but follows up with serious or intimidating afterthoughts. He is extremely intelligent and cunning and easily figures out both his teammates' and opponents' weaknesses. However, on more than one occasion, Oikawa has been very attentive and caring towards others, but this is mostly seen with his teammates or people like Hinata while in Brazil. Oikawa is ambitious and one-track-minded, but it's shown that he also has feelings of inferiority towards those he deems as naturally better than him, such as Ushijima and Kageyama. This is one of the main reasons he is known to push himself so hard. Oikawa also holds a grudge against Kageyama, whom he mockingly calls Tobio-chan. This is due to his feelings of inferiority surfacing when compared to Kageyama, who has been hailed as a genius setter since their time spent at Kitagawa Daiichi. Kageyama and Ushijima can also unintentionally bring out the more childish or rash aspects of Oikawa's personality. To match his ambition, Oikawa works extremely hard and often endures vigorous solo practices after his normal practices with the team. In addition, Oikawa spends time at home watching past games of his rivals in order to observe their movements and patterns ahead of time and strategizing how to defeat them. Despite that, he still takes time off on Mondays for rest.

Jump Serve: Oikawa is renowned and feared for his powerful and accurate jump serve, a technique he had seen on television and thought was amazing, so he worked hard since junior high to master the technique. He serves with pinpoint accuracy, often strategically targeting a member of the opposing team, a gap between two players, or using a different scheme to win a service ace. It is very difficult to return, but several players have managed to get the ball up. Because of the strain the jump serve has on Oikawa's focus, his coach allows him to take time-outs and breaks alone to regain the concentration necessary to successfully execute them by focusing on the aspects that are easy to fumble. During the Spring High Tournament, it seems Oikawa's jump serve has evolved. According to Daichi, his serves can become so powerful that it can look like a spike. According to Coach Ukai, he seems to be putting more emphasis on power than control. It is shown, like when playing beach volleyball with Hinata in Brazil, that he is able to do a jump floater as well, though how he refined it is unknown. Observant Perception: Both in-game and in daily life, Oikawa has a good sense of his surroundings and can effortlessly read others' moves and emotions. Because of this, he was able to pick up almost immediately on Kageyama and Hinata's strategy behind their god-like quick when they previously used code words. He is also quick to pick-up if certain players on his team are being targeted.

Natural Talent as a Setter: Oikawa's tosses are made so that they are easiest for his teammates to hit as he knows that each hitter tends to have a different way they need a set in order to hit at their best. After each toss, he immediately asks how they can be improved afterward. Oikawa's abilities as a setter are so great that he is said to draw out the maximum potential of whatever team he is on since he is able to draw out 100% of the potential of any individual player, being fully capable of changing the way he tosses to and uses his spikers according to where those spikers' biggest strengths lie and adjusting his playing style to them. Even if he has never played with a team or player before, it is said by Kageyama that the way Oikawa sets for and plays with them makes it looks like he has been playing with them for years.

Setter Dump: He is also shown to be talented at performing dumps at the most unexpected times. This is a method that he does not often use and therefore surprises opponents when he does it. Receives: Oikawa is a skilled defender, seen making under and over hand receives. Like with his other skills, Oikawa thinks of how he can best utilize a receive as he once returned the ball and forced Kageyama to save it to prevent him from setting. Like many others, he is not a fan of having to receive jump float serves due to their unpredictability. Like other players, Oikawa appears to read spiker's forms to see where they may send a spike and was shown moving into place against the final match against Karasuno to get Hinata's spike. block: Thanks to his tall height, Oikawa adds height to Seijoh's blocks which puts immense pressure on opponents. He is able to get one-touches or completely shut down a spiker but does struggle with a spiker who is stronger than himself, such as Asahi or Ushijima, or even fast opponents like Hinata. Spikes: Because he is the setter, Oikawa does not get many chances to spike. On the occasion he does, Oikawa has demonstrated that he has a threatening straight spike. During the match against Date Tech, he attempted to evade the block by aiming for a spot just to the side of Aone and most likely would have been successful had Koganegawa not stepped in.
