? ? . 🕯️ Ryunosuke Tanaka (!)

Tanaka has a shaved head with a receding hairline, blue/gray eyes (golden brown in the manga) with a sharp gaze that gives the mistaken impression that he is a criminal. He is of average height and has a muscular body. He often makes strange facial expressions to intimidate others, which Daichi often scolds him for.

In his first year at Karasuno, Tanaka had short, fluffy hair that was dyed blonde.

Due to his distinctive appearance, strangers often mistake him for a delinquent. He has a tendency to make scary faces to try and scare others, something Daichi scolds him for. He has a high moral character, as he does not lose his cool when cornered and continues to play steadily. Loud, short-tempered, and easily irritated, he is no stranger to starting fights. He is also something of a slacker, as evidenced by his less than stellar work ethic in school and his habitual lateness to practice. Despite all this, he is caring and supportive of his teammates, and even defends his underclassmen. Tanaka has a strong interest in girls, as evidenced by the numerous posters of female idols hung around his room. One girl he is particularly interested in is Kiyoko Shimizu. He often approaches her and tries to talk to her, though his advances are usually ignored, which he claims turns him on. Tanaka usually looks after her along with Nishinoya, especially during Tokyo training camps and official matches when other teams show interest in her.
