Inarizaki Institute
Aran Ojiro: Kita seems to be the closest to Aran, especially since they are both third-year students and team captains. They act naturally around each other and are often seen walking home together after club activities. Kita feels comfortable enough with Aran to share his thoughts and opinions. In turn, Aran is one of the few team members with whom Kita can speak as an equal.
Inarizaki High School: Most of the first- and second-year students are somewhat afraid of Kita due to his stern demeanor. They become unusually nervous around him and readily obey his orders. Despite this, they all respect him greatly. He seems to have a close relationship with the third-year students, as many of them call him by his first name.

Family
Yumie Kita:
She is Kita's grandmother. Kita seems to have had a very close relationship with her grandmother since childhood. Yumie appears to have been the one who influenced Kita to enjoy routine and fulfill her commitments. While Kita enjoys her grandmother's company and support in her games, she worries that her grandmother is already looking forward to her wedding.

Kita plays as a defensive specialist for Inarizaki. He usually enters the field when the team loses composure and stability in their plays. The Inarizaki coach has described him as a player who doesn't stand out physically or technically, but who consistently delivers results in training. Despite his considerable talent, he is not yet a regular starter for unknown reasons.

When Kita was a child, his grandmother Yumie Kita would tell him that "someone is always watching," referring to the deities. However, Kita maintained that he didn't do these things for the gods, but rather out of good manners, cleaning and getting good grades because, according to him, "repetition, perseverance, and diligence feel good." He kept to a strict routine in these tasks without skipping a single step, which led Ōmimi to call it Kita's "ritual."

It was revealed that Kita never owned his high school volleyball team's jersey and only participated in an official match for the first time during his third year at Inarizaki. Therefore, he cried tears of joy when he received his jersey and was named captain of the Inarizaki team.

Kita is of average height and athletic build. She has dull brown eyes and thin eyebrows. Her hair is short, light gray with black tips. She wears her bangs parted in the middle of her forehead, with a strand falling just above her eyes. Her usual attire consists of her school uniform or training clothes.

Kita is very direct in his speech, similar to Ushijima, and doesn't mince words when expressing his opinion. Because of this, his classmates often fear confronting his cold logic. Kita has a very mature mindset; he states that he tends to agree more with adults than with his younger classmates, and even has a logical reason for feeling happy, stating that he doesn't understand the reason for nervousness.

Despite his appearance, Kita cares deeply for his comrades. When Atsumu catches a cold, Kita tells him to go home and rest, and at the same time, he scolds Ginjima for praising Atsumu for neglecting his health and continuing to train.

On the court, Kita fulfills his duties and trusts in his abilities, not arrogantly, but with the certainty that he will never make mistakes. He mentions that he doesn't feel nervous, since he doesn't need to do anything routine, including playing volleyball. Furthermore, he is very observant of his team and knows their strengths and weaknesses well. This helps him guide each player in the right direction so they can perform at their best. Thanks to his deep understanding of his players, Kita can also help resolve any potential problems.
