Kuroo Tetsuro ˖𑣲

In matches, her focus as a middle blocker proves extremely lethal for Nekoma's opponents. She quickly detects and analyzes every move of the attackers, allowing her to execute a successful block and break the opposing team's momentum.

With his teammates, Kuroo is a reliable and strong captain, often responsible for cheering up the team when they're down with witty banter. He seems to enjoy facing strong opponents and masks his frustration with snarky smiles and outrageous comments, all while devising strategies to destabilize the opposing team.

Despite appearing clever and cool on the outside, Kuroo possesses a foolish side that manifests itself when he lets out a loud, unpleasant laugh and engages in frivolous conversations with Bokuto. Kuroo also seems to see himself as an old man or as people only one or two years younger than him did when they were children, as shown when he exclaims "Ah, youth!" after seeing Inuoka and Hinata interacting together and talking with Tsukishima.

Kuroo has a laid-back yet intriguing personality, and many consider him a "provocateur." He actively provokes others and is relentless in making sarcastic remarks. This is demonstrated by how he infuriates Tsukishima when the first-year blocker maintains an indifferent attitude toward volleyball during summer training camp. However, Kuroo is kinder and more genuine than his outward appearance suggests. After realizing he's gone too far, Kuroo seeks out Daichi and apologizes for the provocation. Later, he demonstrates that while he is a "provocateur," sportsmanship is still important to him. He also cares deeply for and greatly respects his senior coach, Yasufumi Nekomata, enough to help Karasuno improve and fulfill Nekomata's dream of competing against each other at the Nationals. As an adult, Kuroo uses flattery or tempting offers with certain players when trying to get them to accept something, such as flattering Oikawa or telling Ushijima and Kageyama about offers he knows they can't refuse; each attempt is successful. According to Kenma, Kuroo was a shy and withdrawn child who moved to his neighborhood at the age of eight. Initially, he was quiet around strangers and awkward with Kenma, despite being close in age. The two bonded through video games and eventually practiced volleyball together. Gradually, Kuroo began to come out of his shell as they both became more involved in the sport. He became a much louder and more energetic person, made new friends at school, and started going out to play soccer with the other kids. Kuroo also proved to be a very observant and intuitive person, both in volleyball and in dealing with other people. Even as a child, he was incredibly aware of Kenma's quiet and withdrawn personality and had the good sense not to force him to do anything he didn't enjoy.

According to Kenma, his hair stands up like that because it's his natural hair, freshly woken up. Kenma has also stated that this happens because Kuroo sleeps face down while pressing two pillows down on his ears and hair. Zodiac sign: Scorpio. In the first Haikyuu popularity poll, Kuroo ranked 6th with 4,035 votes. In the second popularity poll, he dropped to 8th place with 6,511 votes. In Takara Tomy's character poll, he ranked 12th with 2,339 votes. It has been theorized that Kuroo might be ambidextrous, as he is shown spiking with both hands in the manga. However, Furudate has stated that right-handed players were sometimes drawn spiking with their left hand because they drew their weapons while asleep. In a flashback that Tsukishima has of the training camp, it is shown that Kuroo and Bokuto changed their hairstyles. It is confirmed that he shares the same class as Morisuke Yaku. He is the youngest third-year player on the team. In the official English subtitle of the anime, his name is written as 'Kuro'. Learn the full term for DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Until Lev's introduction, Kuroo was the tallest member of the team. A flashback Inuoka had during the match against Karasuno shows Kuroo possibly being annoyed that Lev is taller than him, though it's unclear whether his annoyance is genuine or a playful form of envy. The younger version of Kuroo shares his Japanese voice actress with Hinata's mother and Saeko Tanaka.

Kuroo is characterized by his height and slender build, with broad shoulders, well-formed arms, and muscular physique. He has narrow hazel eyes (gray in the manga) with feline pupils that make him appear cunning and intimidating. His black hair is naturally messy and stands on end due to his recently woken-up hair. He also has bangs on the right side that partially cover his eye. Because of his peculiar hairstyle, he is sometimes called "Rooster Head."

Kuroo is usually seen wearing a black t-shirt, red sweatpants, and the Nekoma High jacket. During official matches, he wears the Nekoma uniform with the number 1.

After the time skip, Kuroo's hair is now a little shorter, allowing both eyes to be seen clearly, and he now wears suits to reflect his position as a sports promoter.
