Haikyuu!

Tendo Satori is a third-year middle blocker at Shiratorizawa Academy. He has spiky, light-red hair and thin eyebrows of the same color. He has deep-set, red-brown eyes that give him a sleepy appearance. Satori is quite tall and lanky, with long, thin arms and legs. Satori is cheerful, loud, and quite sarcastic. He enjoys teasing his teammates and opponents, which usually irritates the latter. However, when he gets into a game, he becomes a different, more intimidating person. He is very confident in his blocking abilities, as his guesses and tactics are almost always correct. However, throughout the game, he learns that his guesses can sometimes be wrong, and Hinata can read them as well. On the other hand, he does seem quite kind and generous in situations like when he asked Ushijima if they could let Hinata sleep in his room during the intensive training camp his first years at Shiratorizawa Academy. In elementary school, he was nicknamed "Monster" due to his appearance, and therefore couldn't play on the volleyball team with the others. Using his read-block, he was able to block a shot from one of the bullies. This event made him happy, and he continued using this unique technique until he reached high school. Because he was able to score many points with his read-block, the Shiratorizawa coach allowed him to join the team, but he wasn't particularly pleased. Tendo believes that blocking isn't a technique for stopping the ball, but for driving it into the floor. He blocks very effectively, relying on intuition and reading; this type of blocking is also called "guessing." Tendo admires Ushijima and acts friendly towards him. However, when Tendo talks to Ushijima, their conversations are very one-sided due to Ushijima's stubbornness and Tendo's enthusiasm. This doesn't stop Tendo from talking. They seem close. (Height: 1.87 cm)

Ushijima Wakatoshi is a third-year student at Shiratorizawa Academy and is both the captain and ace of the school's volleyball team. He has dark olive-brown hair that matches his dark olive eyes. Ushijima usually has a stoic expression and often appears quite intimidating. He has a large, muscular, yet slender build and is quite tall (1.89 cm). Ushijima is a quiet and stoic man, rarely speaking and often maintaining the same fierce expression. He is extremely confident in his skills and never doubts that he will win, to the point that when Oikawa bragged that he and his team would advance to nationals, Ushijima genuinely thought he was embarrassed and corrected him that only one team is allowed to go. One of Ushijima's most notable traits is his tendency to speak his mind directly, often causing him to speak tactlessly or rudely. He seems unable to read people and often takes others' jokes and figurative language literally. Despite this, it's noted that when Ushijima does offer praise or encouragement, it's completely sincere, as he never sugarcoats or minces his words. Ushijima seems to believe that cultivating one's talent is the most important thing for a player, as shown when he openly criticizes Oikawa for going to Aoba Johsai instead of the more powerful Shiratorizawa despite his talent, claiming the former is like "barren soil." Because of this mindset, he hates those with unfounded and unfounded confidence, leading him to particularly dislike Hinata for claiming he would defeat Shiratorizawa despite his short stature and attending an unknown school. He's also one of the few left-handed players, allowing his firepower to reach its highest level. It has been stated that his "cross attack" is one of Ushijima's strong points. Ushijima is in excellent physical condition.

Shiratorizawa Academy is a private high school in Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture.

Keiji Akaashi is a second-year student at Fukurōdani Academy. He is also the vice-captain and setter of the volleyball club. Akaashi has short, shaggy black hair, blue-turquoise eyes, and thick eyebrows. He typically has an indifferent or slightly irritated expression. Most of the time, Akaashi is collected and level-headed. He tends to call people out when they act irrationally, especially Bokuto, with whom he has a fairly close relationship despite their different personalities.

Akaashi is straightforward in speech and often chimes in with witty comments or observations. He's also quite polite to the other players, but this may be because he's younger than most of them; he also has a cheeky side, as when he nicknamed Kuroo "Butt-prick Kuroo-san" during one match. However, Akaashi is humble and knows his limitations. He admits he can't do everything Kageyama can. Keiji also has strong analytical skills, demonstrated, for example, when he made a split-second decision to save the game from Bokuto's mood swings. Akaashi is a well-balanced player and a good setter, capable of accurate passes that bypass a wide range of attacks. He's known for his strategic skills (for which he was praised by Nekoma's coach after the match) and his ability to execute quick passes, even when the reception isn't perfect. He's also adept at anticipating and keeping Bokuto's emotional instability in check. He's 1.83 cm tall and 17 years old.

Kotaro Bokuto is a third-year student at Fukurōdani Academy, playing as a wing spiker, and also the ace and captain of the volleyball team. Bokuto has round, golden eyes, wide eyebrows that rise up, and spiky white-silver hair with black streaks that stick out in all directions. This appearance makes him vaguely resemble an owl, which in every way enhances the resemblance. He has a strong build. Bokuto is cheerful, friendly, energetic, and has a childlike personality. He is described by the team as having constant mood swings, as even the slightest thing can change it, which greatly affects his performance. Bokuto is energetic (similar to Hinata), often joking about everything and acting quite brightly and enthusiastically when it comes to his volleyball game. His personality is so compatible with others that he gets along with many of them. However, he can be somewhat clueless in relation to with others and this irritates them, like Tsukishima. Despite his overall demeanor, there have been moments where Bokuto has demonstrated wisdom and intelligence. Bokuto usually specializes in diagonal attacks, but they often end up blocked. Due to the frustration of blocked diagonals, he decided to start practicing straight attacks instead of honing his diagonal attacks to the point where his opponents can't even touch them. In addition, he has an amazing ability to feint. He also has good ball control, and his attacks are very sharp and elusive. Bokuto's unstable mood as an ace brings out the strengths of his teammates until he regains his composure and becomes a solid foundation for the team. Kuroo has said that when Bokuto gets serious, he is as strong as the ace who is ranked third in Japan. Akaashi is obviously quite close friends with Bokuto. They get along well They find common ground and complement each other, despite their different personalities. His favorite phrase, which he often utters, is: "Hey, hey, hey!"
Height - 1.85 cm.

Osamu Miya is a second-year student at Inarizaki High School in Hyogo Prefecture. He plays as a wing spiker and is Atsumu Miya's twin brother. He has a large build and looks very similar to his brother, suggesting they are likely identical twins. Osamu's hair is dyed gray, and his bangs are parted to the left. As a child, he had light brown hair. Osamu appears quieter and more composed than Atsumu, but despite this, he can become hot-tempered, even if his facial expression is blank. When provoked, he becomes extremely angry and loud. In this state, he loses his filter and begins spewing obscenities. Atsumu is the only person who has ever caused him to become so emotional. He is shown to have a sense of humor, especially when it comes to Atsumu, whom Osamu teases whenever he screws up. Osamu also displays a great passion for food. He often thinks about it in the middle of a match, and the slightest smell of it distracts him. He seems to be unable to choose a favorite food and doesn't know what he would eat last. Osamu lives in Hyogo Prefecture and attends Inarizaki High School with his twin brother. He is a second-year student and a member of the school's boys' volleyball team. Osamu has proven himself to be a capable player. He has demonstrated the ability to establish striking positions and tempos with his twin brother, Atsumu. He also has a powerful jump serve. Osamu is almost always seen with his twin brother, Atsumu. Therefore, Osamu is familiar with all of Atsumu's habits, including Atsumu's tendency to lie and never return things. Like brothers, they're quick to argue and bicker, but they get over it just as quickly. Osamu often teases his brother, especially when Atsumu fails. They're each other's biggest rivals and constantly bicker without even realizing it.

Atsumu Miya is a second-year student at Inarizaki High School who plays the setter position. His twin brother is Osamu Miya. Atsumu has light-colored bangs similar to Shirabu's. Unlike his twin brother, Osamu, he wears his hair parted to the right and dyed blonde. His undercut and eyebrows suggest that Atsumu's natural hair color is black. His eyes are large, partially closed behind half-closed eyelids. Atsumu appears to be a carefree, self-confident person with a lazy smile on his lips. Despite this, he enjoys provoking people and disguising his insults as compliments. At times, he can act arrogant, condescending, and somewhat selfish. Osamu describes him as someone who doesn't listen to others, doesn't return loans, and often lying. He also presents himself as a perfectionist, with ridiculously high standards for himself and his attackers. Atsumu strives to give them the best pass possible, and expects the same high level from them in return. If the attackers don't meet his standards, Atsumu isn't afraid to confront them directly and even call them runts—his brother included. He is extremely sensitive to noise around him when it comes to serving; if disturbed at this point, Atsumu completely transforms and becomes frighteningly angry at the stimuli. Atsumu loves to compete and hates losing; this can sometimes hurt him. Osamu also notes that his brother's mental abilities drop to that of a five-year-old during a match. His formidable weapons are the power serve (like Oikawa's) and the glider (like Yamaguchi's). He always counts steps from the baseline: 4 steps for the glider and 6 for the power serve. Atsumu received The title of best server in high school and interscholastic tournaments. His skills allow him to make a set on the first touch (without receiving). He also demonstrates a perfect setter's first step and intentionally sets from an awkward position, because for him, that's what a setter does.
(Height—1.83.)

Shinsuke Kita is a third-year student at Inarizaki High School in Hyogo Prefecture. He plays as a wing spiker and is the team captain. Kita is of average height and has an athletic build. His hair is light gray with black tips. He has dark eyes and thin eyebrows. Kita is blunt in conversation, similar to Ushijima, where he does not mince his words when expressing his opinions. Because of this, his teammates often fear being on the receiving end of Kita's cold logic. Despite his outward demeanor, Kita cares deeply for his teammates. When Atsumu catches a cold, Kita orders Atsumu to go home to rest and also scolds Hitoshi Ginjima for praising Atsumu for not caring about his health by continuing to practice. He gives Atsumu food and drinks from a convenience store with a note stating that He must eat properly and sleep well to avoid catching a cold. On the court, Kita does what needs to be done and is confident in his skill. Not in an "I'm the best" kind of way, but in a way that he believes he will never screw up. He mentions that he doesn't get nervous because there's no need for anything you do regularly, including volleyball. Despite his stern manner of speech and soft expression, he ends up crying when he receives the captain's uniform. This surprises Suna, who thought Kita was "more like a robot." Kita has a very mature way of thinking, saying that he tends to agree with adults more than his students, and goes for having a logical reason to feel happy. He also states that he doesn't understand the reason to be nervous. Kita serves as Inarizaki's defensive specialist. He is often substituted when the team loses composure and stability in their games. Coach Inarizaki described Kita as a player who is neither physically nor technically superior, but can achieve the same and reliable results during training. Kita seems to be closest with Aran. Most of the first years are somewhat intimidated by Kita due to his stern personality.

Inarizaki High School is located in Hyogo Prefecture. Like most Japanese schools, Inarizaki has a school uniform and dress code. The male uniform consists of a white shirt, burgundy tie, brown blazer, and black trousers. In the anime, the girls' uniform consists of a brown blazer, white dress shirt, black skirt, and black socks. The boys' volleyball club uniform consists of a tracksuit with a burgundy jacket and white trousers. During official matches, players wear black jerseys with white details and black shorts. The jersey has a number printed on both sides, and the kanji for "Inarizaki High School" is on the back. The libero wears a contrasting white jersey with black details and black shorts.

Lev Haiba is a first-year middle blocker at Nekoma High School and the self-proclaimed ace of the team. Lev has light-grey, slicked-back hair and green eyes that resemble a cat's shape, along with thin eyebrows. His Russian heritage gives him a tall stature (1.90 cm), exceptionally long limbs, and excellent physique. He has a cheerful personality, but often acts like a child, as shown when he laughed at Hinata and Yaku's small stature in comparison to him and the other players. Lev's appearance, as well as his piercing gaze, make people think that he is much more intimidating and serious than he actually is. Although he can be rude and often offends others without realizing it, he never means anything bad and has a playful attitude towards most things. He is shown to enjoy blocks and offensive punches. He enjoys competing with people he's interested in. He can also be very self-confident (and sometimes arrogant). Despite the fact that Lev claims to be the team's ace, he doesn't quite live up to that level. This is mainly due to his inexperience, lack of sufficient strength, technique, speed, and endurance. Therefore, his inexperience and excessive boasting often become the reason for ridicule. However, many, taking into account his height, high jumps, and long limbs, note his high potential as the team's ace in the future. Lev often makes various comments about Yaku's height, and with a very carefree and cheerful expression, which is absolutely unacceptable, since the Nekoma libero is quite hot-tempered and always slaps Lev in response. At the same time, Yaku taught Lev how to serve and receive the ball, which Lev often shied away from and At first, their relationship was rather frosty due to differences in personality and Lev's refusal to listen to the setter's advice. Gradually, their relationship began to improve, Kenma began to pay more attention to Lev, and Lev, in turn, began to learn from his mistakes.

Aside from Tetsurou Kuroo, his neighbor, Kenma hasn't made any friends since he was in elementary school. Despite his shy personality, Kenma is quite skilled at volleyball, with an exceptional sense of the game, technique, and strong analytical abilities that compensate for his slight lack of strength, speed, and endurance. Seemingly somewhat apathetic, Kenma is the type of person who doesn't do anything he doesn't enjoy and would quit volleyball if it became so. This, he claims, will be a way to improve his skills (like in video games). But since he has difficulty communicating his feelings, his true motivation for continuing to play volleyball is his friends.
Skills:
Discard: Kenma is good at analyzing his surroundings, so he can pick the perfect time to discard, which has made him quite good at them. Eye Deception: Kenma can deceive his opponent with his eyes, looking where he would "pass."
Relationship:
Tetsuro Kuroo:
Because Kenma couldn't make friends on his own, his only friend was always his neighbor, Kuroo, who was almost the same age as him. They played volleyball together since childhood. Under Kuroo's influence, Kenma joined the volleyball club in middle and high school. Even in his first year, Kenma wanted to quit the club because the practices were too difficult and the upperclassmen were too strict, but Kuroo persuaded him to stay. In Cross Team Match, Kenma revealed that he never failed tests in school because Kuroo practices with him after school.
Shoyo Hinata: According to Kuroo, Kenma always showed some excitement when watching Shoyo's matches. Kuroo compared his excitement when watching Shoyo play to his happiness when he buys a new video game. Kenma also told Hinata that he was looking forward to a real match with Hinata and Karasuno because he found them interesting, even though Kenma usually has no interest in anything other than video games. The two are good friends; when they can't communicate in person, they text each other and call each other by their first names.

Kenma Kozume is a second-year student at Nekoma High School. He is the setter and the "Brains" and "Heart" of the team. Kenma is short and thin. His calm and level-headed demeanor makes him an excellent setter. He has no other distinguishing features except for his golden cat-like eyes and light-blond hair with black roots (sometimes nicknamed "Pudding Head"). He dyed his hair when he was younger, stating that he didn't want to "stand out." He used to have black hair. He dresses casually and wears the standard black and red uniform of the Nekoma High volleyball club. He is usually seen holding a handheld game console or a cell phone. Kenma has a very calm and relaxed personality. He almost never loses his cool, and he generally never gets excited or excited about anything (except for Hinata, video games, and Lev, as Kuroo pointed out earlier in the Nekoma OVA). Kenma is quite reserved and rarely voices his opinions, as he fears the opinions of others. He also absolutely loves playing his PSP.

He's not particularly social, which is why he finds it difficult to make friends. Kenma rarely shows emotion; he sometimes comes across as cold. His manner of speech can be shy and nervous, such as when he first met Hinata. The exception is Tetsurō Kuroo, his childhood friend.

Kenma is shown to care about his friends and always notices changes in their behavior. For example, when they were younger, Kuroo lost a volleyball match and was depressed. Kozume noticed this and, despite not being passionate about volleyball, asked him if he wanted to keep practicing and improve his technique, to which he responded affirmatively. Another instance occurs later in the manga, when Kenma admits that he tries his best to help his friends win.

Taketora Yamamoto is a second-year student at Nekoma High, the team's ace and wing spiker. Yamamoto has a mohawk dyed blond, which gives him an intimidating appearance (despite this, he is very shy around girls). He also has the cat-like eyes typical of Nekoma students and short but thick eyebrows. He has a good build for a volleyball player and is a few centimeters taller than the average Japanese adult. He is similar to Tanaka—they are both loud, choleric, and easily angered. Whenever he's not yelling and annoying his captain, he's either crying or running away from girls, too nervous to even talk to them. They also share the same zodiac sign. Yamamoto currently studies and plays volleyball at Nekoma High School. On the team, he's a wing spiker and an ace. Like Tanaka and Nishinoya, he has a crush on Kiyoko Shimizu. Due to their similar personalities, they eventually hit it off and even became friends. They even exchanged numbers and chatted for a long time. Current concern: Wanting to know the best way to communicate with girls.
Height - 1.76 cm, age - 16 years.

Morisuke Yaku is a third-year student at Nekoma High School who plays the starting libero position. At 166 cm tall, Yaku feels insecure about it. Teammates once said his height was a taboo subject when Lev pointed it out (Yaku subsequently kicked him). Yaku has light brown eyes and sandy hair, and he most often dresses in a Nekoma sweater or tracksuit. Yaku is highly respected for his abilities as a strong libero. Karasuno's Nishinoya has matched his talent from his experience playing in the same position. He takes great pride in playing libero and especially considers it a great honor to play for Nekoma, a team whose members specialize in strong defense. Off the court, he supports his team and often takes on a "parental" role, similar to Sugawara. Perhaps this is why Yaku and Sugawara have found common ground and gotten along well. He can also be incredibly short-tempered, especially towards Lev, who seems to find Yaku's outbursts "scary" (though these outbursts are usually in response to Lev's tactless comments about Yaku's height and/or attempts to skip classes with him). Even Kuroo sometimes calls him "demon senpai." Overall, however, Yaku is a fairly honest, straightforward person who is very confident in his skills and cares about his team. He often engages in lighthearted skirmishes with his younger teammates, and sometimes even eats their food. Fans have noted that his personality shares many similarities with Sugawara's. Yaku, as a libero, constantly competes with Nishinoya. He can even calmly withstand Asahi's strong attacks (only after their first encounter). Because of this, Nishinoya respects his abilities as a strong libero. In other words, he has a keen sense of receiving the ball. Unlike Kuroo, he enjoys meat, girls with short hair, spicy curry, Molten volleyballs, and summer mountain trips.

Kuroo Tetsuro is a third-year student at Nekoma High School. He is the captain of the boys' volleyball club and plays the middle blocker position. Kuroo is tall and athletic. He has amber eyes and a rather cynical demeanor. He is very tall, graceful, and flexible, with movements reminiscent of a cat. He has tousled black hair, parted on the right side and partially covering his right eye. This has earned him the nickname "Prickly Head." Most of his wardrobe consists of dark colors. His uniform consists of a black T-shirt, a scarlet tracksuit top with the word "Nekoma" engraved on it, and matching sweatpants and shorts. He is the only one on the team who doesn't wear knee pads. Kuroo is calm, confident, and at the same time somewhat sarcastic and intriguing. He is also considered a "master of provocation," as shown when he deliberately provoked Tsukishima during their expedition to Tokyo. However, he later apologized to Daichi for this. Kuroo is the leader of the team, and his comrades can always count on him because he is reliable and responsible. He is also quite intelligent and does well in school. Kuroo grew up next door to Kenma and started attending the same school as him. Tetsuro has been playing volleyball since elementary school, and possibly earlier. He watched professional volleyball matches and memorized the players' moves, later showing them to Kenma. He convinced Kenma to join their school volleyball club, and they have been playing together ever since. A strong blocker—
According to Coach Ukai, Kuroo is a master of blocking, as he can easily block outside hitter Bokuto—one of the top five forwards in the country—and can create a time difference. Unlike Yaku, he prefers fish, girls with long hair, sweet curry, dogs, Mikasa volleyballs, and summer trips to the seaside. He is 1.87 cm tall and 18 years old.

Nekoma Metropolitan High School (Japanese: 都立音駒高校, Toritsu Nekoma Kōkō), or Nekoma High for short, is a high school in the Nerima ward of Tokyo, Japan. Nekoma, like most Japanese schools, has a uniform and dress code. The male uniform is Catholic in style and consists of a white shirt, red tie, black sweater vest, navy blue blazer, and gray trousers. The boys' volleyball club uniform consists of a red tracksuit with white details. Club members wear black jerseys and red shorts during practice matches, often topped with a blue tracksuit bib. During official matches, most players wear a red jersey and shorts with black details. The libero wears a contrasting white jersey with red and black details.
Volleyball Club: The boys' volleyball club's flexible players and solid roster earned it the nickname "Cats," which also alludes to the school's name. Nekoma and Karasuno were said to be "destined rivals" due to a long-standing rivalry between their coaches.

Hajime Iwaizumi is a third-year student at Aoba Johsai High School, playing as a wing spiker, and the team's ace and vice-captain. He is a childhood friend of Oikawa. When not playing sports, he is shown wearing the standard school uniform, which consists of khaki pants with dark brown details and lilac buttons on the shirt, worn over a sports jacket. Iwaizumi has spiky black hair and thicker eyebrows than usual. His eyes are dark brown in the manga, but green in the anime. He often has a serious or annoyed expression. Iwaizumi is a stubborn but reliable teammate, often offering Oikawa moral support when needed. He acts kindly towards everyone, including Tobio Kageyama, who yelled at Oikawa for his childish behavior towards the Karasuno setter. In Oikawa's case, he often resorts to violence, but this doesn't change the fact that he cares for him immensely, as shown when he tries to stop Tooru from either working too hard or losing his trust. Iwaizumi's fiercely protective attitude towards the team has led him to serve as a role model for some team members, and many respect him even more than the captain. Iwaizumi is Aoba Johsai's ace. He is a reliable player with faith in his own abilities, which leads Oikawa to pass to him whenever he feels the need. Iwaizumi is shown to be good at receiving the ball; he often does so when Shinji Watari, Seijoh's libero, is unable to do so. Iwaizumi has stated that when he was little, he had fun attacking and did nothing else, but now that he's older, he's grateful to have known the joy of receiving. Age: 17-18 years old, height -1.79 cm.

Oikawa quickly navigates the field, controls the game, and finds openings in his opponents' defenses. He delivers powerful and accurate shots to sap his opponents' will to win, and also makes handy passes as a setter. It's been noted repeatedly that Tooru is able to integrate into any lineup and utilize his teammates' abilities to the fullest for the team's benefit (like Kunimi's relaxed play, for example, allowing him to really get going late in the match). He always believes in them, and they believe in him.

Tooru trains a lot and often stays for extra practice with the team, which later led to an injury. Oikawa also spends his free evenings and nights watching past matches, carefully studying the players' movements and strategizing for future competitions. He usually takes Mondays off. Oikawa loves to tease Kageyama, calling him Tobio-chan. Compared to Kageyama, who was hailed as a genius setter since their days at Kitagawa Daiichi, Tooru was not blessed with such talent. He also never misses an opportunity to joke about Hinata and their strange connection with Tobio. Kageyama reacted rather phlegmatically to all aspects of Oikawa's childish behavior, and didn't even seem surprised or disappointed. However, Tobio's attitude toward Oikawa changed as he matured. While Kageyama might once have offered Oikawa a handkerchief for his "I'll destroy you!" comments, in high school he speaks rather sternly of him. In middle school, Kageyama admired his senpai and didn't pay much attention to his antics. Oikawa was most concerned about his devastating serve, which he had honed and perfected from a young age. Perhaps he regarded it as something sacred, because he refused Kageyama's request to teach him this serve. Over time, this serve only became more powerful: in his second match against Karasuno, he demonstrated a hellish serve, different from his usual serves and practically impossible to return;

Oikawa Tooru is a third-year student at Aoba Johsai High School. He is the captain and setter of the Seijoh volleyball club. Oikawa has dark, chocolate-brown hair and slightly lighter brown eyes. Many find Tooru attractive, so groups of girls from other schools often wait for him, eager to buy him something or shower him with compliments. Oikawa is almost always smiling or smirking (though Iwaizumi notes that his smiles are rarely genuine). He often flashes the "✌🏼" sign or simply gestures dynamically, grinning widely, or winking. One of his trademarks: a mischievous expression. Many characters (mostly adults) have described him as a "sweet young man." Oikawa has a good build and height for a volleyball player. During school, he wears a uniform consisting of a light blue shirt with a maroon tie, a cream-colored vest, a white jacket, and beige plaid pants. Occasionally, Tooru wears glasses. It is unknown whether he wears them for vision or as an accessory, as he spends most of his time without them. It is likely that if Oikawa does have minor vision problems, he wears contacts the rest of the time. Despite being flirtatious (which makes him popular at school) and childish (according to his nephew and Iwaizumi), Oikawa is an excellent, well-rounded player who takes the volleyball club extremely seriously. His allies and opponents alike think he is a "disgusting person" due to his mocking, seemingly frivolous demeanor. Oikawa also frequently makes harmless jokes that escalate into more serious and intimidating ones. He also enjoys teasing those he cares about. For example, he's always making jokes about Iwaizumi (even between games in official matches), Ushiwaki, Kageyama, and Hinata. However, he's extremely intelligent and cunning, easily identifying other players' weaknesses. Because of this, his teammates avoid him, as "he'll use their weaknesses against them."

Tadashi Yamaguchi is a first-year middle blocker at Karasuno High School. He plays the role of the team's "Substitute Pitcher" (gliding pitch). Yamaguchi is a young man of average build. He has short black hair, often depicted with a brown or green tint, that is tousled and sticks out in all directions. Before entering middle school, Tadashi was teased for his freckles and skinny frame. But now that he's grown up, he no longer worries about it. Outside of matches and practices, Tadashi wears a black gakuran—the Karasuno High school uniform. Yamaguchi is a rather timid person who often relies on others. However, Tadashi is a very nice guy; he often laughs with Tsukishima or simply hangs around Kei when he teases or bullies others. Yamaguchi is a hard worker. This is evident when he asks for extra practice or when he continues to practice separately from the team after realizing he's weaker than the rest of Karasuno. After a setback in the match against Aoba Johsai, he gains confidence thanks to his teammates and Makoto Shimada. During the summer training camp, he's even put in Tsukishima Kei's place, who is surprised by this and, for the first time in his life, calls Yamaguchi cool. Tsukishima began working harder, and their relationship subsequently returned to normal. Yamaguchi is developing into a reliable pinch-pick server with his floater jump serve. From the very beginning, Yamaguchi began practicing his floater jump serve, not wanting to fall behind the other first years. Although he struggles to hit his serve against Aoba Johsai during a difficult moment in the match, he works very hard to improve it. Initially, he was hampered by a lack of experience and a weak heart, but since then he has become much more assertive and confident in his role. Height: 1.80 cm, 16 years old.

Kei Tsukishima is a first-year middle blocker at Karasuno High. Tsukishima is very tall and has an average build for a volleyball player. Despite being only a first-year, Kei is the tallest player at Karasuno. He has short, slightly tousled blond hair, golden eyes, and pale skin. Tsukishima can often be seen frowning or with a sly smirk on his face. Outside of games and practices, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno men's uniform, and headphones around his neck. Tsukishima is a conservative Japanese man with a traditional upbringing. He is a strict formalist, addressing everyone except his peers and family as "you." He often makes sarcastic remarks to his peers. He is reserved and dislikes showing emotion. He has an analytical mind, is calm, and calculating, which greatly irritates many players on opposing teams. Whenever someone does or says something stupid, he is usually seen giggling in the background. However, he seems intimidated by his seniors, nowhere to be seen when Daichi scolds Tanaka for confronting Aoba Johsai, even though he did the same, or retreats whenever Ennoshita calls him out. Most of the time, he tries to keep a low profile and "go with the flow." He is considered a persistent and developing type of player, rather than a genius. Kei never gave his all in practice and didn't even study extra, even at training camps (unlike the other players), because he believed that trying was pointless, since "there will always be someone stronger than you." Tsukishima is shown to be a skilled blocker. Kenma told him that Kei is a capable and focused blocker who carefully considers his moves, which is the complete opposite of Hinata's on-court demeanor. He's also capable of pulling off a feint that will surprise and unsettle his opponent. He's 1.90 cm tall. Tsukishima is a close friend of Yamaguchi, who calls him by the nickname "Tsukki."

However, despite his friendly and cheerful, somewhat childish appearance, Hinata can be very serious about things that excite him, such as volleyball. His strong love for the sport manifests itself in an impressive display of tenacity, stemming from his constant desire to improve his abilities. According to Sugawara, Hinata plays with great fortitude, perseveres through adversity, and never gives up easily during a match. Hinata can also display a very intimidating expression when people underestimate him. However, Hinata is easily intimidated, especially by larger and stronger opponents. Because of this, he has developed a habit of hiding behind the backs of his closest teammates. However, he quickly recovers, after which he confidently challenges his opponents. Initially, Hinata easily gets overwhelmed before matches due to his lack of experience. He becomes so nervous that he gets an upset stomach or constantly needs to go to the bathroom. He also becomes clumsy, messing up his serves or returns. Over time, Hinata becomes more comfortable with pressure and learns to cope with it. Despite his timidity, Hinata pulls himself together and performs well during matches. Hinata, like Kageyama, struggles in school because he's completely absorbed in volleyball. He once told Sugawara that since entering high school, he's never scored in double digits on any of his tests. Hinata is often described as clumsy, yet incredibly athletic. When he first entered Karasuno, he knew little about volleyball and focused solely on hitting. However, with the help of his new teammates, he soon mastered the fundamentals and basic techniques. Despite his inexperience, Hinata constantly tries to figure out what he can do to help during matches. He's not afraid to experiment with new things and easily improvises when things don't go according to plan. He's an incredibly quick learner who can improve his skills.

Shoyo Hinata—Hinata began playing volleyball after watching a Karasuno volleyball player nicknamed the Little Giant play. Hinata was impressed by how the shorter player defeated much larger opponents. After losing his first and only official volleyball match in middle school against Tobio Kageyama, the "king of the court," Hinata enrolled in Karasuno High School, only to discover that Kageyama had also decided to enroll. For most of the manga/anime series, Hinata is a first-year at Karasuno and one of the volleyball team's middle blockers. When Hinata became a first-year high school student, his height was 162.8 cm, but by midway through the school year, he had grown to 164.2 cm. Shoyo is one of the shortest players on the team, shorter only than Nishinoya (though his height is fairly average for a Japanese male high school student). He has unruly red hair and brown eyes. His relatively thin build and short stature often lead him to be mistaken for a junior high school student (or, in some cases, even an elementary school student). Hinata usually wears his Karasuno school uniform with a black jacket and black pants. Underneath the jacket, he wears a beige or brown sweatshirt. In the first episode, he was wearing his middle school's green volleyball uniform. Hinata has a cheerful and energetic personality. He is a cheerful and easy-going guy. For the most part, Hinata is very simple-minded, which sometimes leads him to make rash decisions. However, he has also proven himself to be quite observant. Hinata is very empathetic and sympathetic to the suffering and experiences of others. Therefore, he often says exactly what others need to hear to nudge themselves in the right direction. His friendly and straightforward nature allows him to easily befriend even the quietest people, such as Kenma from Nekoma High. Hinata is not known as a strong player, but rather as someone who uses speed and endurance to his advantage.

Despite his inability to communicate as expected, Kageyama genuinely wants to do everything he can to build understanding within the team. He is passionate and dedicated when it comes to volleyball, to the point of becoming overly excited by almost every successful move he makes with Hinata. Since joining Karasuno, Kageyama has become more respectful of his older teammates (particularly Sugawara and Asahi) and more tolerant of people whose abilities and/or views differ from his own (such as Tsukishima). Tobio has come to understand the importance of mutual trust within the team and in the sport he cherishes so much. Furthermore, his personal growth has helped him regain his confidence as a setter. Kageyama also realized he couldn't control his teammates during the game, as it was too despotic of him. Kageyama is known as the "King of the Court" and a volleyball genius for his incredible technique and sense of the game. A top-notch setter, Kageyama has the potential to unite the team with his overwhelming talent, but he initially struggles with effective communication with his teammates. Over time, the character has learned to use his skills to bring out the best in the passes he makes. He now pays attention to the condition of his wing spikers and adjusts his shot accordingly, rather than constantly forcing them to match his own playing style. In addition to his astounding accuracy and technical skills as a setter, Kageyama has proven himself to be a skilled all-rounder with a remarkable understanding of both the fundamentals and complexities of volleyball. He is capable of playing many other positions, including wing spiker, but chooses to become a setter due to his love of being the team's leader. Kageyama also has a penchant for improvised strategy and is the first person to suggest using Hinata's outstanding presence on the court as an effective decoy.

Tobio Kageyama – For most of the manga's storyline, he was a first-year student at Karasuno High School, playing as the starting setter for the boys' volleyball club. Many players and coaches in the prefecture considered him an outstanding volleyball player. After joining Karasuno, he manages to change his previous self-centered behavior with the help of his new teammates and understand what it means to be part of a team. Kageyama's height and his impressively sharp gaze are said to be his most striking physical characteristics. He has a muscular build and often exudes an intimidating aura, which is reinforced by the near-constant scowl on his face. His black hair is cut short, with his bangs hanging just above his dark blue eyes. Kageyama's everyday appearance consists of either his school uniform or his workout clothes. Perpetually sullen, arrogant, and undeniably short-tempered, Kageyama was initially a typical domineering perfectionist, caring only about winning and completely disregarding the opinions and well-being of his teammates. His habit of complaining about their work and barking orders led the other players at Kitagawa Daiichi to nickname him "King of the Court," a constant reminder of the tyrannical, selfish attitude he displayed during his middle school volleyball career. However, unbeknownst to most of his schoolmates and acquaintances, Kageyama is far more sensitive and childish than he appears; he simply doesn't know how to control his frustration, and therefore expresses his thoughts and emotions in a socially unacceptable manner. After all the members of Kitagawa Daiichi grew tired of him, Kageyama was filled with genuine regret. The character developed a strong fear of being despised, leading to a distrust of society, but he refused to openly discuss his own problem until Tsukishima confronted him about it.

Ryunosuke Tanaka—formerly a member of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Team. For most of the series, he was a second-year wing spiker for Karasuno and its promising ace. Tanaka has a shaved head with a receding hairline and sharp blue/gray eyes, which often leads to the misconception that he is a delinquent. He is of average height and muscular. He often makes strange facial expressions to intimidate others, for which Daichi often scolds him. Due to his distinctive appearance, strangers often mistake him for a delinquent. He tends to make intimidating faces to try to intimidate others, for which Daichi scolds him. He has high moral fortitude; when cornered, he doesn't lose his composure and continues to play consistently. Loud, hot-tempered, and easily irritated, he is no stranger to starting fights. He's also something of a slacker, as evidenced by his less-than-stellar work ethic at school and his habitual lateness to practice. Despite all this, he's caring and supportive of his teammates, even defending his underclassmen. Tanaka has a keen interest in girls, as evidenced by the numerous posters of female idols hanging in his room. One girl he's particularly interested in is Kiyoko Shimizu. He often approaches her and tries to strike up a conversation, though his advances are usually ignored, which he claims turns him on. Tanaka usually keeps an eye on her along with Nishinoya, especially during Tokyo training camps and official matches, when other teams show interest in her.

Skills: Straight Punch: Tanaka uses a straight punch, which he executes from a form designed for hitting a cross. He tricks blockers into thinking he's going to hit a cross with his running, hissing form.
Jump serve.
Inside Cross: His inside cross has an extremely sharp trajectory and lands across the court in front of the attack line.
Height - 1.78 cm, 17 years old.

Yuu Nishinoya is a second-year student at Karasuno High School who plays the libero position, a position he excels at by saving the ball most of the time. He chose this position because he recognized it as one of the most important on the team. Nishinoya is the shortest player on the team, standing at 159 cm. Despite his small stature, Yuu has a lean yet strong build. He has tousled dark hair that adds 10 cm to his height and large, unusually shaped brown eyes; a strand of hair falling over his forehead has been bleached. As libero, his uniform color is different from the rest of the players'—his jersey and shorts are orange with black panels on the sides. He also wears white sneakers with red stripes, black knee pads, and a single black elbow pad on his right arm. Nishinoya is one of the most talented liberos, and his defensive abilities are near-flawless. Nishinoya is good at acting on the spur of the moment, adapting to the flow of the game as required. Nishinoya is a very energetic, cheerful, and emotional person. His boisterous nature and impulsive behavior often attract all sorts of attention to him. Although Yuu almost never considers the consequences of his actions, he is surprisingly tactful and considerate of his friends' feelings and supports them in any situation. Like Tanaka, Noya has a crush on Kiyoko Shimizu. Together, they try to get closer to her, but ultimately are simply ignored. However, they can cause a bit of a commotion, and when this happens, someone (usually Daichi) scolds them. But he's also surprisingly shy when it comes to talking to girls he's never met before. Nishinoya has a quirky habit of spontaneously coming up with rather ridiculous names for the moves he practices. Noya can be extremely impatient, excitable, and impulsive. As Tanaka put it, "He's too hot-tempered for his own good." Yuu isn't careful with his speech, so he can say whatever's on his mind in the most tactless manner.

18 years old, height 1.86 cm.
Asahi Azumane is a third-year student at Karasuno High School who plays as a wing spiker and is Karasuno's ace. Asahi is a tall man with a strong, athletic build. He has long brown hair, pulled back at the roots, and large brown eyes. He also has a goatee. He later began wearing a hair tie to keep his hair out of the way during games. Despite his intimidating appearance, Asahi is very kind and quiet by nature. He finds it difficult to accept that he is Karasuno's ace because he doesn't feel like one. He is initially shown to be weak-willed, having left the team before the first years joined, feeling he let his teammates down when they lost to Date Tech High, as they were counting on him. When he returns to the team, he realizes his passion for volleyball is much stronger than he thought, and with the help of his teammates, he finally recognizes himself as Karasuno's ace and gains confidence. Asahi has a "fragile heart," as he takes everything said to heart and immediately becomes depressed. At the same time, he feels insecure about many things and even appears cowardly. However, in later chapters, he clearly stated that no one will take his position as ace, thus showing his development compared to the beginning. Asahi is Karasuno's strongest attacker. He is known for his powerful shot, which can penetrate most blockers. Thus, he is often trusted with the responsibility of scoring when facing multiple blockers. His best shot is when he makes a high throw that is slightly off the net. Relationships: Nishinoya admires and relies on Asahi, and he is usually the one who stands up for him or consoles him. Nishinoya also refused to return to the volleyball team unless Asahi returned, even though Coach Ukai encouraged him to participate in a practice match. Despite this, Asahi was shown to be somewhat intimidated by Nishinoya. Nishinoya is also extremely straightforward and would point out Asahi's mistakes.

18 years old, height - 1.74 cm. Koushi Sugawara is the vice-captain of the volleyball club and a third-year student at Karasuno High School. Like Kageyama, he is a setter and replaces him when needed. He is very kind and sympathetic. He understands the feelings of all club members well, which is why everyone loves him. He is a guy of average height and build. He has light gray (ash) hair, brown eyes with a mole under his left eye. He can usually be seen with a soft smile on his face. As vice-captain, he reassures his teammates and acts as a pillar of support and encouragement for them. Even though he is no longer Karasuno's main setter, he does not think about giving up the game altogether. Thus, he encourages himself and all his teammates not to give up, no matter what difficult situation they are in. Sugawara's dedication to volleyball is clear when he decides to continue club activities even though most third years decide to leave to focus on their studies. When they met, his teacher asked Sugawara why he decided to continue playing even though he He's not a key player, and Sugawara responded that he doesn't want to regret leaving in the future. He's also quite perceptive, as he noticed Tanaka asking for the key to the gym (for Kageyama and Hinata's training before the 3-on-3 game between the first years), even though he's always late, so Sugawara knew Tanaka was up to something. He's also smart, as he comes up with useful tactics during games. An example of this is when he came up with the idea for Kageyama and Hinata's combo. Despite his nurturing demeanor, he can sometimes be mischievous, as seen when he encourages Hinata to barge into the youth camp uninvited. He also has a violent streak, often taunting his teammates, often slapping them when he's excited to join in on a game, though this also has the effect of encouraging the team. He's also quite proud, though it rarely shows. Skills: Synchronized Attack, Pinch Serve, Synchronized Attack of Two Setters.

Daichi Sawamura is a third-year student at Karasuno High School and the captain of the volleyball club, playing as a wing spiker. He's an excellent leader who inspires his teammates, but he's terrifying when he's angry. During the time that Ukai, the original coach, was hospitalized, he was one of the captains who had to act as the team's coach. He has short dark hair, dark brown eyes, and tanned skin. Daichi has a large build, and many people say his appearance immediately distinguishes him as captain. He usually has a gentle smile on his face, but when he's angry, his eyes darken. Daichi is a very caring captain who makes sure everything is alright. He's also patient and understanding, but it can be truly frightening when he's angry or when his patience is tested. Although he rarely displays this personality trait, his vice-captain, Sugawara, recommends avoiding it. Everyone on the team respects him, but they're also a little afraid of him. It's been noted that Daichi doesn't come across as a schoolboy due to his sense of responsibility (just as Asahi doesn't due to his appearance). However, despite all this, he can act downright childish: once during lunch, he wrestled with the basketball captain, swung too hard, and hit the emergency bell with his elbow.
As a player: Daichi's weapon isn't his attack, but his hard return. He's considered a defensive specialist, and along with Nishinoya, he's often tasked with handling difficult passes or covering for other teammates' mistakes. His knowledge of the game stemmed from having to learn many tactics on his own during his first year due to the lack of a coach. After the Tokyo Expedition, he improved his hard return, flying drop, and soft block. Skills: Back-row attack: Daichi has increased his offensive contribution with his back-row attack from the synchronous attack. Strong body: Daichi is one of the team's defensive pillars, and is often tasked with some of the toughest assignments. Height: 1.76 cm, 18 years old.

Hitoka Yachi is a first-year student at Karasuno High and one of the volleyball club's managers. Hitoka has light-colored, choppy hair cut just above her shoulders. She usually wears a bright star-shaped hair clip, which she uses to pull part of her hair into a ponytail on the left side. This detail adds more character to her appearance. She is most often seen wearing the Karasuno High uniform. Some boys (such as Yahaba, Kindaichi, Yamamoto, and Yamaguchi) find her very attractive. Possessing a rich imagination, Hitoka constantly worries about imaginary fears. She often has to apologize for judging others by appearances or first impressions. She is also very timid and innocent (when the volleyball team changes uniforms, Yachi usually blushes and closes her eyes). Because she has low self-esteem, she underestimates her own importance and downplays her abilities. However, it is later revealed that Hitoka has many positive qualities. Yachi is rather clumsy and often nervous, but she always cares for others and tries to cheer them up when they're down. Hitoka is an inquisitive and orderly person. She's well-organized and takes notes in a way that others can use, and she often asks for help studying for exams. Hitoka's mother works for a design firm. From an early age, her daughter was left home alone. Hitoka was recruited to replace Shimizu, who was finishing her studies. She was chosen because she wasn't a member of any clubs. Although she was initially intimidated by the boys' behavior, Hitoka quickly befriended them and became part of the team.
Age - 15-16 years, height - 1.49 cm.
Relationships: Kiyoko Shimizu - They get along very well, despite Yachi initially being a little intimidated by Kiyoko's beauty (she's afraid Shimizu's admirers will kill her). Shoyo - Hitoka and Shoyo have gotten along from the start. Hinata really wants Yachi to become their manager. Yamaguchi - It's safe to say that Yachi and Yamaguchi have developed a warm, friendly relationship.

Gender: female, age: 18, height: 1.66 cm. Like: Tanaka Ryunosuke.
Kiyoko Shimizu is a third-year student at Karasuno High School. She serves as the team's manager. Kiyoko is an attractive girl with short black hair that falls just below her shoulders. Her most distinguishing feature is a small mole on the lower left side of her chin. She also has blue eyes and wears glasses. Before enrolling at Karasuno, Kiyoko was a hurdler. Due to the scratches and cuts she received during those runs, she had to wear black tights, which she later adopted. At Karasuno, Shimizu no longer competed in track and field. While there, Daichi Sawamura offered her the position of manager of the men's volleyball team, which she accepted. It was also mentioned that she invited Tanaka to join the team, who later fell in love with her. He says the girl will rob a bank, and Ryunosuke follows her everywhere from then on. A calm, composed woman, she is shown to be serious and passionate in her position as the team's manager, reflected in her reluctance to leave the club along with the other third years. Kiyoko cares deeply for the members of the Karasuno team: in one scene, she repairs and cleans an old Karasuno sign to boost the team's motivation. After Yachi joins the team, Kiyoko opens up and shows much more emotion, smiling frequently and even joking around to make Hitoka feel more comfortable in the group.
Relationship:
Tobio Kageyama:
Hitoka Yachi:
Shimizu is very warm to Yachi. Tanaka and Nishinoya noticed that Kiyoko even started smiling and talking when she appeared. Shimizu has been very protective of Yachi, even swatting a ball that was aimed at her face and walking Hitoka home after practice. Shimizu trusts her greatly and even confided in her about her athletic past.
Hinata Shoyo:
On the one hand, Hinata really likes Shimizu, as do the vast majority of the boys in their high school. On the other hand, he treats her more like a close relative than a girlfriend.

Aoba Johsai High School (青葉|あおば Aoba Jōsai Kōkō), also known as Seijō High School (青城 Seijō), is a private school in Miyagi Prefecture.
Uniform:
Aoba Josai, like most other Japanese schools, has its own uniform and dress code. The men's uniform is in the "Orthodox" style. It consists of a lavender shirt, a dark red tie, a light cream vest, a white jacket, and light brown trousers with dark stripes forming squares. The men's volleyball club uniform consists of a white tracksuit with turquoise details. During practice matches, team members wear turquoise jerseys and white shorts, as well as lime green jerseys with numbers. During official matches, players wear white jerseys with turquoise accents and matching turquoise shorts. The libero wears a contrasting turquoise jersey with white accents.
Volleyball club:
The Aoba Johsai men's volleyball team is among the top four teams in the entire prefecture. For many years, they have always reached the finals of the Spring Games, losing only to Shiratorizawa. Many of Aoba Johsai's players are strong enough to become aces. Many Kitagawa Daiichi alumni have been invited to join the Aoba Johsai volleyball team. It has been noted that the team's strength is essentially based on their setter, Tooru Oikawa, who balances and brings out all the players' abilities.
Players:
Tooru Oikawa—No. 1—Setter/Captain

Issei Matsukawa—No. 2—Middle Blocker.

Hajime Iwaizumi-No. 4—Vice-Captain / Outside Spiker / Ace

Karasuno High School (Japanese: 烏野高校 Karasuno Kōkō) is a public high school located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. The school's volleyball club was founded many years ago. Its name, like the school itself, is associated with crows.

Form:
Karasuno, like most Japanese schools, has a uniform and dress code. The male uniform consists of a classic black gakuran, a white collared shirt, a cream-colored sweater, and black trousers. Women wear a more formal uniform, consisting of a white blouse, a red sash, a cream-colored sweater, a black jacket, and a gray skirt. However, since many students are often seen wearing T-shirts (instead of collared shirts) and without cream-colored sweaters, it is assumed that the dress code is not strictly enforced. The boys' volleyball club uniform consists of a black tracksuit with white details. Training participants wear white T-shirts and black shorts during practice matches and often wear a yellow sports bib.

Team:
Captain—Daichi Sawamura
Manager—Kiyoko Shimizu, Hitoka Yachi
