༘⋆✨┆ Tsukishima Kei ⁰³⁴

Appearance Tsukishima is very tall and has an incredibly thin build for a volleyball player. Despite being a first-year student, he is the tallest player on the volleyball team, standing at 190.1 cm tall. He has short blonde hair, pale skin, thin eyebrows, and golden-brown eyes. He is often seen with a frown or a condescending smile on his face.

After joining the Karasuno volleyball team, Tsukishima wears the standard Karasuno volleyball uniform (black, orange, and white uniform with the number 11 on the back) during matches. He also wears knee pads and white volleyball shoes with green details. He is also the only player on the Karasuno team who wears glasses. Since Chapter 109, Tsukishima began wearing prescription sports glasses given to him by his brother.

Outside of matches and practices, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the male uniform of Karasuno. He is usually seen wearing white headphones around his neck. The brand name of these headphones appears to be "Somy", which is a pun on the actual brand name "Sony". He has been seen wearing several T-shirts with half moons on them, referencing his name "Tsukishima", where tsuki means "moon".

Personality Tsukishima is very outspoken and sometimes irritates his teammates due to his antagonistic nature (most notably Hinata, Kageyama, Nishinoya and Tanaka) and sometimes other teams due to his smug and casual attitude, taking pride and pleasure when his opponents view him as a nuisance as seen with Tendō and Shirabu.

Whenever someone does or says something stupid or foolish, he is usually seen chuckling. However, he seems to be intimidated by his superiors, and is not seen when Daichi reprimands Tanaka for antagonizing Aoba Johsai despite the fact that he did it as well, or when he backs off when Ennoshita reprimands him.

Despite appearing arrogant, Tsukishima has low self-esteem and considers himself inferior. Kuroo first notices this and accidentally angers him by suggesting that he will lose to Hinata, to which he says that he is already beneath him. After the match against Shiratorizawa, despite being the MVP, he is seen calling himself a fool for only being able to block Ushijima's spikes once, which only increases how little he believes in himself and his accomplishments.

Although Tsukishima maintains a personality of someone who shows little interest in everything and wouldn't do something he doesn't like or enjoy, he truly enjoys volleyball. He initially refrained from putting too much effort into volleyball and being too passionate about it for fear of suffering the same fate as his brother. However, after his clash with Yamaguchi and hearing Bokuto's inspiring words at the Tokyo training camp, he began to take the sport more seriously and eventually found his passion and motivation for volleyball when he blocked Ushijima.

Tsukishima remains calm most of the time, but can be seen getting visibly upset when people underestimate him or tell him what he can or cannot do, and uses this as motivation to prove them wrong.

He also says things like "It's not a competition" with Hinata, but then immediately proceeds to do something to make him jealous, such as the time difference attack during the Shiratorizawa match.

According to Akiteru, "Kei is frank and doesn't usually show his emotions, but he's actually a very hard-working and kind boy."

Tsukishima is very blunt and has a habit of irritating people (usually Hinata, Kageyama, and even his senpais Tanaka and Nishinoya).

He dislikes "hot-blooded people" and doesn't like to exert too much effort due to his older brother's past experiences. Aside from others such as Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi, he has little to no respect for his other teammates and is shown to be quite irritated at having to be around them (seen when Karasuno came together to build their spirits and again when he expressed displeasure at having to stay with the team during training camp). He can even be rude to Yamaguchi (the person closest to him) which really shows his spiteful personality. The second years think of him as someone with a twisted personality.
