Ryunosuke Tanaka

Gender: Female. Age: 15-16 years old (High School 1st year). Birthday: September 4th. Height: 149.7 cm. Weight: 42.5 kg. Relatives: Madoka Yachi (mother), Unnamed father. Residence: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Likes: Fugashi. This detail gives her appearance more expressiveness. She is most often seen in the Karasuno High uniform. Some guys (for example: Yahaba, Kindaichi, Yamamoto, and Yamaguchi) find her very attractive. Hitoka has light, unevenly cut hair just above her shoulders. She usually wears a bright star-shaped hair clip, with which she gathers part of her hair into a ponytail on the left side. Possessing a rich imagination, Hitoka is constantly worried about imaginary fears. She often has to apologize for judging people by appearance or first impressions. She's 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 later turns out 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 inquisitive and neat. She's well-organized and takes notes in class so that others can use them, and she even asks for help studying for exams.

Gender: Female
Age 18 (formerly), 23—2018. Birthday: January 6. Height: 166.2 cm. Weight: 51.4 kg. Relatives: Ryunosuke Tanaka (husband), Saeko Tanaka (sister-in-law). Place of residence: Miyagi Prefecture, Country: Japan.
Goal: Keep things clean and tidy. Be active in the club and study at the same time. Likes Ryunosuke Tanaka. Kiyoko is an attractive girl with short black hair 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. A calm and composed girl, she is shown to be serious and passionate in her position as the team manager, which is reflected in her reluctance to leave the club like the other third years. Kiyoko cares deeply for the members of the Karasuno team: in one scene, she repaired and washed an old Karasuno sign to boost the team's motivation. After Yachi joins the team, Kiyoko opens up and shows much more emotion, smiling often and even joking around to make Hitoka feel more comfortable in the group. Before joining Karasuno, Kiyoko was an obstacle runner. Because she suffered scratches and wounds back then, she had to wear black tights, which she later adopted. At Karasuno, Shimizu no longer participated in track and field. 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 suggested that she rob a bank, and since then, Ryunosuke follows her everywhere. He's the team manager.

Gender Male. Age 26 (2012), 32 (2018). Birthday April 5th. Height 178.2 cm. Weight 72.2 kg. Relatives Ikkei Ukai (grandfather). Likes Dumplings, cognac. Dislikes Noise. Ukai has dyed blonde hair, which he usually wears with a headband. He told Nekoma's coach, Nekomata, that he looks like his grandfather, Ukai's former coach. He wears two earrings on his left ear. In his youth, he had short dark hair, but otherwise looked the same. His behavior is quite typical for a man in his twenties. He smokes and drinks, and is willing to talk casually about alcohol with minors, such as when he talked about "the first sip of beer" to explain their tactics to Karasuno. He is also quite competitive; That's the only reason he became a first-year coach—he wanted to beat Nekoma in a practice match, but he continued coaching even afterward because he challenged Nekoma's coaches to another fight. Favorite food: Konyaku dumplings. Current problem: He's not even 30, and his parents are already telling him, "Hurry up and get married already." He has his own yellow car.

Gender: Male. Age: 16. Birthday: November 10th. Height: 179.5 cm, 180 cm (April). Weight: 72 kg. Residence: Miyagi Prefecture. Country: Japan.
Goal: Practice more. Play more consistently to make the starting lineup. Improve my posture. Likes: Volleyball, French Fries. 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. After joining the Karasuno volleyball team, Yamaguchi wears a black uniform with orange panels on the sides, black knee pads, and white sneakers with dark gray stripes. Outside of matches and practices, Tadashi wears a black gakuran—the school uniform of Karasuno High. Yamaguchi is a rather timid person who often relies on others. Nevertheless, Tadashi is a very nice guy; he often laughs with Tsukishima or simply stands by Kei's side 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 his failure 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's place, which Kei is surprised by and, for the first time in his life, calls Yamaguchi cool. Kei began working harder, and their relationship subsequently returned to normal. Back in elementary school, Tadashi was teased for his freckles and thinness. Kei helped him get rid of some boys who bullied him, calling them pathetic. Even though the insult also affected Yamaguchi, he bonded with Kei and looked up to him. Number 12.

Akiteru Tsukishima (Older Brother), Unnamed Mother, Residence: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Goal: "Nothing Special." Likes: Volleyball, Strawberry Shortcake, Dinosaurs.
Dislikes temperamental people (Kageyama). 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 mischievous smirk on his face. After joining the Karasuno volleyball team, Kei wears a Karasuno uniform with the number 11, black knee pads, and white sneakers with green stripes during games. He is also the only player on the Karasuno team to wear glasses. Tsukishima began wearing special sports glasses given to him by his brother. Outside of games and practices, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, a men's Karasuno uniform, and headphones around his neck. The brand of these headphones appears to be "Somi," which is a play on the brand name "Sony." He has been seen wearing various shirts with crescent moons on them, which he plays under the name "Tsukishima," where "tsuki" means "moon." Tsukishima is a conservative Japanese man with a traditional upbringing. He is a terribly formal person, 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 from opposing teams (Oikawa in the match against Seijoh, Shirabu and Tendo in the match against Shiratorizawa). He wears the number 11. Middle blocker

Relatives
Natsu Hinata (younger sister) mother
Place of residence
Miyagi Prefecture, Rio de Janeiro (temporary). 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 very 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 push 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 and Aone from Date Tech. When Hinata became a first-year high school student, his height was 162.8 cm, but by the middle of the school year, he had grown to 164.2 cm. Shoyo is one of the shortest players on the team, only Nishinoya is shorter (although his height is quite 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 to him being 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 hoodie. 10, Middle Blocker / Decoy

Relatives: Miwa Kageyama (Older sister)
Kazuyo Kageyama (grandfather), Unnamed parents. Country: Japan. Setter. Kageyama's height and his impressively sharp gaze are said to be his most prominent physical attributes. He possesses 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 attire 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 other Kitagawa Daiichi players to nickname him "King of the Court," constantly reminding him of the tyrannical, selfish attitude he displayed during his high school volleyball career. He wears the number 9.

Hisashi has short, light-blond hair that sticks up in a spiky style and cat-like eyes. He is of average height, but compared to the other second years, he is the shortest after Nishinoya. He is very anxious when it comes to his own abilities and constantly worries about whether he will play well. He is not a regular starter, but despite this, he is a great supporter of the team. Kinoshita always encourages Karasuno. He is shown to not be afraid to make snide remarks to the team. He once told Tanaka, "Keep your shirt on, baldy." Hisashi wears the number 7.

Place of residence - Miyagi Prefecture
Country: Japan. Ennoshita is an ordinary guy, with slightly downturned eyes that give him a perpetually sleepy expression. He has dark brown hair that reaches his middle, and eyebrows and eyes of the same color. He doesn't often attract much attention to himself and usually goes unnoticed, even when he's on the court. He appears quiet and reserved, but can be cheeky towards other second years. He's smart and has never received bad grades before. Like Sugawara, he can be seen with a gentle smile on his face. He's the only second year capable of keeping Tanaka and Nishinoya in check. He's also able to understand different people, as Tanaka has stated several times, and when he knew how to give Yamaguchi confidence before his serve. He became super responsible for his failures as a replacement for the injured Daichi, after three of his attacks went out of bounds, and his earlier saves helped Karasuno to a victory over Wakutani. Outside Spiker. Wearing uniform number 6. Outside Spiker

Yuu is a second-year student at Karasuno High School and plays the libero position. He chose this role because he understood it was one of the most important on the team—the libero is the one who most often saves the ball. Yuu is the shortest player on the team. His height is 159.3 cm (in April) and 160.5 cm (in November). Despite his short stature, he has a strong build. Yuu has tousled dark hair (almost black), which he styles in a way that visually adds about 10 cm to his height. The strand of hair falling on his forehead is bleached. His eyes are large, brown, and unusually shaped. In games, he wears a special uniform: an orange shirt and shorts with black panels on the sides, white sneakers with red stripes, black knee pads, and a single black elbow pad on his right arm. In everyday life, Yuu often wears brightly colored shirts, sometimes with four-character idioms on the chest or back (for example, "One-Man Army" or "Three-Point Headstand"). Yuu is energetic, cheerful, and emotional. His boisterous nature and impulsive actions often draw attention to him. At the same time, he is quite tactful and considerate of his friends' feelings, supporting them. He also has a funny habit: during training, he spontaneously comes up with ridiculous names for his moves and techniques. When interacting with unfamiliar girls, Yuu is unexpectedly shy. In games, his demeanor changes dramatically: he becomes incredibly serious, focused, and does everything he can to provide the team with the support it needs. He has a knack for energizing his teammates and lifting their spirits in critical situations. The team captain nicknamed Yuu "Karasuno's guardian deity" because he makes the team feel more confident on defense. Yuu has a special bond with Asahi Azumane: he respected his senior greatly and even refused to play in official matches until Asahi returned to the team. As a child, Yuu was quite timid (afraid of insects, dogs, bicycles, and other things), but his grandfather Mineo helped him overcome his fears by teaching him not to be afraid to ask for help. Libero

Asahi is a third-year student at Karasuno High School. He plays as a wing spiker and is considered the team's ace. Since 2018, he has worked as a fashion designer in Tokyo. He is tall, with a strong, athletic build. He has long brown hair, which he usually wears pulled back, large brown eyes, and a small goatee. He later began wearing a hair tie to keep his hair out of the way during games. In the second season of the anime, he stopped wearing his hair in a bun and started wearing a headband (at Kiyoko's suggestion). This is an interesting contrast: Asahi has a rather intimidating appearance, which sometimes makes others afraid to approach him. But at heart, he is kind and quiet. At the same time, he has a "fragile heart": he's very sensitive, sensitive to any criticism and his own failures, which can lead to depression. Early in the story, he displays weakness: after a crushing defeat to Date Kyo, Asahi felt he'd let the team down and temporarily left. But thanks to the support of his teammates (Hinata, Sugawara, Daichi), he returned, realized he still had a strong desire to play, and ultimately embraced his role as ace. In later chapters, he firmly declares that no one will take this position from him. There's an interesting contrast here: Asahi has a rather intimidating appearance, which sometimes makes others afraid to approach him. But at heart, he's kind and quiet. At the same time, he has a "fragile heart": he is very sensitive, takes any criticism and his own mistakes painfully, which can lead to depression. At the beginning of the story, he displays weakness: after a crushing defeat to Datekogyo, Asahi felt he had let the team down and temporarily left. But thanks to the support of his teammates (Hinata, Sugawara, Daichi), he returned, realized that he still really wanted to play, and ultimately accepted his role as ace. In later chapters, he firmly declares that no one will take this position from him. Birthday: January 1st (Capricorn). Ace/Wing Spiker

Date of birth: June 13, 1994. At the beginning of the story: a third-year student at Karasuno High School. Koshi has a gentle, calm, and kind personality. He acts as the team's pillar of strength: he's able to notice his teammates' moods and find just the right words of encouragement. At the same time, he can sometimes be mischievous: for example, he supported Hinata when he snuck into the youth camp without an invitation. In moments of great anxiety, Sugawara can tease and lightly spank his teammates—this is also a way to encourage them, although it seems unusual. He can also be quite proud, especially when bragging about coming up with the name for Kageyama's pairing or Hinata's new technique ("minus tempo"). Sugawara is the vice-captain of the Karasuno High School volleyball club. His position is setter: he replaces the main setter when needed. After the arrival of Tobio Kageyama, Sugawara stopped being the main setter, but he didn't leave the club. He continued to train diligently to inspire his comrades to persevere even in difficult situations. Height and build: He is of average height (approximately 174 cm) and has a slender build.
Hair. Light gray (sometimes called ash). Eyes. Hazelnut brown. Distinctive feature. He has a small mole under his left eye. Facial expression. He often wears a soft, welcoming smile—this reflects his gentle, calm personality. Vice-captain / Setter / Pinch Server

Date of birth: December 31st. Place of residence: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Family: mother, younger brother, and sister. Height: 176.8 cm (April), 176.7 cm (November). Weight: 70.1 kg. Zodiac sign: Capricorn. Daichi has short dark hair, dark brown eyes, and tanned skin. He has a large build, and many say that his appearance immediately marks him out as the captain. He usually has a gentle smile on his face, but when he is angry, his eyes become dull. Daichi is a caring and responsible leader who always puts the team's interests first. He is patient and understanding, but becomes very strict when his patience runs out. His teammates respect and at the same time are slightly afraid of him. His vice-captain, Sugawara, advises avoiding moments when Daichi loses his temper. Captain / Outside Spiker / Defensive Specialist

Date of birth: March 3, 1996. Place of birth: Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Family: Older sister, Saeko Tanaka. School years: Enrolled in Karasuno High School. For most of the series, he was a second-year player and played as a wing spiker. He was considered the team's promising ace. Appearance: A shaved head with a widow's peak. Because of this look and his sharp gaze, strangers often mistook him for a delinquent. In his first year, he had short blond hair. After the timeskip (a period of time in the series), he grew his hair out a bit and returned to its natural dark color, and his body became more muscular, likely due to his athletic career. Personality and actions: Tanaka is a contradictory person. On the one hand, he is loud, hot-tempered, and prone to outbursts (for example, making frightening faces to intimidate others, for which Daichi scolded him). On the other hand, he shows genuine concern for his teammates and protects the underclassmen. He doesn't tolerate being put down (as in the case of Kei Tsukishima, who slandered his teammates in the first 3-on-3 match). Tanaka gets very excited and warms up when an underclassman addresses him as "senpai." Another striking trait is his keen interest in girls: posters of female idols hung in his room. He was especially interested in Kiyoko Shimizu: he often tried to talk to her, although his advances were usually ignored, which turned him on. Outside hitter
