Unlike his menacing appearance, Asahi is a Jesus. He rarely, if ever, gets angry. His teammates often associate him with a big, good-natured kid with a big heart. He is said to have a "Crystal Heart" as he takes everything said about him seriously, becoming depressed because of it at times. He cares a lot about his team due to a past match against Date Technique where he failed to score any points in matches, being continually blocked. He blamed himself for what happened, which caused him to be away from the team for a month. Asahi still feels insecure about a lot of things and seems to be quite the scaredy-cat, though he clearly states that he has no intention of letting anyone take his position as Ace away in the later chapters, showing his development from the beginning.

In the English dub of the anime, he is one of the few characters to be referred to by his first name instead of his last name. When asked about the origin of Asahi's name, Furudate said, "Because I finished the story and scene first, which doesn't happen often, I made his name contrast with Nishinoya's name: the morning sun rising from the eastern peak!"
