Video games are one of the things Kenma loves most.

For him, games are a comfortable way to pass the time and also perfectly match his way of thinking.

Kenma approaches many situations as if they were a game:

Observe → analyze → test → find a strategy → exploit the opponent's weakness → win.

This explains why he is so good at volleyball despite not having an exceptional physique.

Kenma is introverted, reserved, observant, and extremely analytical.

He doesn't particularly enjoy talking to people and has difficulty making friends. He also worries a lot about what others think, even though he often seems indifferent.

One of his most interesting characteristics is the contradiction:

Kenma doesn't like to draw attention to himself, but he is extremely attentive to people.

He constantly observes the behavior of others, their habits, reactions, and patterns. This characteristic, which initially stems from his social insecurity, ends up becoming one of his greatest strengths in volleyball.

He is short and thin, with a relatively frail physique compared to other volleyball players. His posture is also usually somewhat hunched or slouching.

Her most striking feature is her golden/yellowish, feline-like eyes, perfectly matching Nekoma's cat theme.

Kenma Kozume is one of the central characters in Haikyuu!! and the setter for the Nekoma High School volleyball team. He is known as the "Nekoma Brain" due to his intelligence, analytical skills, and talent for creating strategies during matches.
