Nekoma

Kuroo's type for men - headcanon:

He's the opposite of himself. While he's tall, loud, provocative, and disheveled, his type is:

• Shorter than him (1.70 - 1.78 meters), so he can rest his chin on the person's head. The 17cm difference isn't even his dream height with Kay.
• Quiet but with a strong personality. Someone who doesn't yell back, just gives a dry look like "shut up, Kuroo". That DRIVES HIM CRAZY. He loves being tamed.
• Light/bleached hair, light eyes. A nice contrast to his all-black/red complexion. And if he has fluffy ears/tail like Kay, he'll melt completely.
• He hates being touched without consent, but he trusts him. He has a huge fetish for being the ONLY person he can touch. Like, "You don't let anyone touch you, but you'll let me pet you?" For him, that's the ultimate act of love.
• Loose black clothes, a chain, a tough face but a softie on the inside. Tsundere. He loves to tease until the person gives a sly little smile.
  Intelligent/observant. Doesn't need to be extroverted, but someone who pays attention to him. If the person remembers that his favorite food is grilled sanma, he's already smitten.

Teshiro Tamahiko: He likes guys who are super focused, intelligent, and quiet. Someone who studies with him and is as dedicated to volleyball as he is. A very soft romance, holding hands in the library.

Kai Nobuyuki: He likes someone calm and caring like himself. He doesn't care about height, but he loves people who take care of him – who give him head scratches, who cook with him. Someone peaceful, who doesn't like fighting. If they have dark skin and a nice smile, he's already won.

Yaku Morisuke: A short, nervous guy who needs to be protected, kind of like Lev but more mature. Someone stubborn, who talks back to him, who isn't afraid to curse him back. He loves being in control and being the "father" in the relationship. And he has a weakness for athletic guys with thick thighs like a libero.

Yamamoto Taketora: He likes a more feminine guy, with longer hair, delicate. The total opposite of him, who is all rough and yells. Someone patient who puts up with his insecurities and says "you're amazing, Tora". He gets very silly and protective.

Kenma Kozume: Totally demisexual. Only falls in love with his best friend. Like Kuroo or Hinata – someone who respects his space, plays video games with him without forcing conversation, and stays quietly by his side. Short, fair-skinned, someone who lets him sleep on his shoulder. Doesn't like noisy people.

Fukunaga Shohei: He likes eccentric and funny people like himself. Someone who understands his nonsensical jokes and laughs along. He doesn't care about looks, he cares about vibes. If the person is spontaneous and up for anything, he already loves them.

Inuoka Sou: Golden retrievers love other golden retrievers. They like tall, energetic, smiling guys who run with them and are as affectionate as they are. Someone who hugs a lot and says "You did it, Sou!". A kisser.

Lev Haiba: He loves shorter, older people who boss him around. Like Yaku. Someone who teaches him, who is patient with him being clumsy. If someone is serious, intelligent, and teases him, he becomes completely obsessed.

Shibayama Yuuki: He likes confident people who lift him up. Like a captain. Someone who says "you can do it, Yuki" and believes in him. He enjoys tight hugs and people who protect him.

Kuroo: A tall woman with long black or brown hair, very confident and provocative, just like him. She retorts to his jokes and doesn't fall for his charm easily. He loves being challenged. Her style is more rock/alternative.

Kai: A calm, caring woman who enjoys nature and taking care of others. Short or medium hair, a calm smile. Someone who cooks with him and watches the sunset. Very down-to-earth.

Yaku: A short but fierce woman, a kind of female mini-Yaku. She yells at him, bosses him around, but he knows he can protect her. Short hair, athletic, also a libero. He loves strong women.

Yamamoto: This is canon: like Kiyoko. Tall, beautiful, mysterious woman with long black hair and quiet demeanor. He freezes and screams "KYAAAA". His dream.

Kenma: A quiet, gamer girl who doesn't force interaction. Light-haired, short, who plays games silently next to him and shares headphones. Who doesn't judge him for staying in his room all day.

Fukunaga: An eccentric, funny girl who laughs at his nonsensical things. Colorful or unusual hair, unique style. Someone who's up for any random plan of his.

Inuoka: An energetic, smiling, athletic girl who runs with him. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, she's very outgoing and affectionate. She shouts good morning and gives tight hugs.

Lev: An older, tall, and model-like woman, similar to his sister Alisa. Blonde, beautiful, bossy, and always teaching him. He gets all "Alisa-nee-san!!" again, but still in love.

Shibayama: A cute, patient girl who encourages him. Short, with medium-length hair, very sweet. She praises his defenses and says, "You were amazing!"

Teshiro: A smart, studious, focused girl with glasses. She helps him with his homework and trains with him. Very quiet and dedicated, just like him.

3rd year:

• Kuroo: Bisexual, the kind of bi who flirts with everyone but only gets serious with someone he truly trusts. Kind of like Kenma coded.
  Kai: A very chill pansexual. He likes the person, not the gender.
  Yaku: Gay, very reserved. He came out a long time ago, he's the father of the team.

2nd year:
Yamamoto: Straight but a great ally. Still getting over his Kiyoko phase lol
Kenma: Demi-Aroace/Specter. Only falls in love with very few people and needs a LOT of trust (Kuroo and Hinata are the exceptions).
Fukunaga: A quiet gay man, he doesn't talk about it, he just shows it.

1st year:

• Inuoka: Bisexual golden retriever, high energy, falls in love easily.
  Lev: Pan, very open-minded and curious about everything.
  Shibayama: Gay, still discovering himself, very insecure about that aspect.
• Teshiro: Asexual, mostly focused on volleyball.

KUROO vs YAKU - Opposites:
Kuroo: Prefers fish, sweet curry, the beach/sea, dogs, Mikasa balls, Japanese style, and girls with long hair.

• Yaku: Prefers meat, spicy curry, mountain, cat, Molten ball, Western style, short-haired girl 0b9f98fa

Rest of the team:
Kai: Easygoing, no frills. He says, "While you're alive, everything works out."
Yamamoto: Loves shoujo manga and is a fan of Kiyoko. His favorite food is pan-fried yakisoba.
Kenma: Addicted to video games and apple juice. Hates standing out.
Fukunaga: Super quiet, but becomes a comedian after the timeskip.

• Inuoka: Hinata's best friend, loves fried chicken. He was born on Dog Day in Japan.
• Lev: Russian, loves volleyball + inari sushi, says "Oinarisan!"
• Shibayama: Omurice, insecure but extremely hardworking.
