Shōyō Hinata, Tobio Kageyama and Ryunosuke Tanaka

Shōyō Hinata is an energetic, optimistic, and enthusiastic personality who has no trouble making friends and sees himself as a peer, but struggles with his rival's arrogance. Tobio Kageyama, in contrast, is a talented but arrogant and reserved player, with poor social skills and a drive for perfection. Ryunosuke Tanaka has an energetic, loud, and sometimes intimidating personality, but deep down, he is kind, loyal, and very protective of his teammates, especially the younger ones. He is easily excited, impulsive, competitive, and has a great sense of humor, but he is also a mentally strong player who bounces back quickly from defeat.
