Appearance
Tendō has spiky red hair and thin eyebrows of the same color. He also has large eyes that give him a sleepy expression, with small, dark red pupils. His mouth has curves that make him look "strange" to others. He is seen wearing the Shiratorizawa volleyball uniform.

Tendō is taller than average for boys his age and has an average build.
Personality
He is cheerful and loud, though a bit sardonic. Tendō enjoys teasing both his teammates and opponents, usually annoying the latter. However, when he enters the game, he becomes a different, more intimidating person, and enjoys the look of defeat on people's faces when they are denied. He is also very confident in his blocking abilities (referred to as a guess block) as his guesses are almost always correct, due to his keen intuition.

Tendō is also seen by others as rather creepy or strange. He was teased for this as a child, but becoming a middle blocker seemed to boost his confidence, and now he doesn't seem to mind being perceived this way.

He appears kind and generous at times, such as when he asked Ushijima if they could let Hinata sleep in a room during the first-year intensive training camp at Shiratorizawa Academy, or trying to cheer Goshiki up when he started crying. Tendō also appears to be a good friend.

Tendō believes that blocking is not the art of stopping an opponent, but rather the art of bringing down the ball. He is an extremely skilled blocker who bases his blocks on his intuition and reading, which is known as guessing the block or reading the block. In other words, he reads the attack before blocking and jumps almost entirely on intuition; his assumptions are usually always accurate. No matter how minuscule the opponents' signals are (glances, leg movements, ball handling, etc.), as soon as Tendō figures them out, he will be able to block every spike. What's more, he usually intends to "block" all of his opponents and uses his blocking to score points and not allow the opponent the opportunity to attack.

He also has incredibly fast reflexes.
