Personality

He's happy and loud, if a little sardonic. Tendō likes to make fun of both his teammates and his opponents, usually annoying the latter. However, when he enters the game, he becomes a different, more intimidating person, and enjoys the look of defeat on people's faces when he denies them. He is also very confident in his blocking abilities (referring to a guess block) as his guesses are almost always correct, due to his keen intuition.

However, throughout the game, he learns that his assumptions may sometimes not be correct, and Hinata can read them as well. Tendō is also seen by others as quite creepy or strange. He was picked on for this as a child, but becoming a middle blocker seemed to boost his confidence, and now he doesn't seem to mind being perceived this way. After the time skip, he is seen dragging a woman who is walking his dog while he talks to Ushijima on the phone.

On another note, he seems kind and generous at times, such as when he asked Ushijima if they could let Hinata sleep in a room during the first-year intensive training camp at Shiratorizawa Academy, or trying to cheer up Goshiki when he started crying. . Tendō also appears to be a good friend, as after time skipping, he even calls Ushijima to check on him, then gives him his own version of words of wisdom when the latter requires a pep talk.

Relations

Shiratorizawa Academy

Tendō gets along well with almost everyone on the team due to his easy-going nature. He calls Ushijima by his first name, but the latter doesn't seem to mind. Tendō is also usually the person in charge of breaking up disputes between the kouhais, namely Shirabu and Goshiki.

Ushijima Wakatoshi

Tendō admires Ushijima's finishing style, and frequently gives him friendly gestures. However, when Tendō talks to Ushijima, their conversations are very one-sided due to Ushijima's glib nature and Tendō's enthusiasm. This does not stop Tendō from speaking. They seem to be close. After closing the gap between Shiratorizawa and Karasuno in the fourth set, Ushijima called out Tendō. After his match against Karasuno, Tendō told Ushijima that he was looking forward to seeing him on television in the future and being able to say that he was Ushijima's best friend.

Semi Eita

Tendō and Semi seem to have a friendship based on pranks. Tendō teases Semi about her fashion sense and Semi is critical of her boldness. Despite this, the two keep each other in check when one of them gets too irritated.

Background

In the flashbacks shown of Tendō, he is seen being picked on by other children on his team because they see him as a monster. It happens again during high school, when two boys were talking about him while they were (apparently) storing balls in the club's warehouse, Tendō overhears their conversation, who referred to him as a "monster" and that "he's scary." .

Shiratorizawa-Karasuno Match

Tendō entered the stadium with his team for their match against Karasuno. While both teams were warming up, Hinata accidentally sent a ball towards Shiratorizawa's team. Ohira picked it up for him and after Hinata left, Tendō teased Ohira, saying that Hinata must have nicknamed him "Benkei" because of his appearance. As the match was about to begin, Tendō approached Ushijima and reminded him that the team would be counting on him. Members of both teams were soon introduced to the audience before the game began.

Shiratorizawa won the first set easily. During the break, Tendō asked Ushijima if he knew Hinata and the latter answered affirmatively. However, to Tendō's surprise, Ushijima replied that he hated Hinata due to his lack of self-confidence.

The second set then began and Kageyama and Hinata tried to perform their famous quick finish. He was completely blocked by Tendō who happily declared that if the two wanted to get to Ushijima, they had to get past him first. He then blocked all of Karasuno's attacks, but was eventually stopped by Kageyama's new tactic of disguising his movements. Hinata dunked the ball right over Tendō's head and Tendō praised Kageyama sarcastically.

Tendō then switched to a fake block to distract Karasuno, allowing Ushijima to score. Soon, Karasuno put Tsukishima on the court, Tendō instantly pointed him out as "that normal guy." Tendō tried to spike, but Tsukishima blocked him and scored a point, etc.

His favorite food is chocolate ice cream

Current Concern: None of his teammates want to talk to him about Shonen Jump.

His zodiac sign is Taurus.

Although he thought the movie was scary, Tendō watched The Ring because he thought the actress who played Sadako was cute.

He likes pretty actresses and often mentions it to Ushijima Wakatoshi (his best friend, according to Tendō) who does not seem interested in this topic.

During an extra Haikyuu manga, he named a blocking move Shooting Star, but it was shown to be unsuccessful.

He has the second smallest appetite of all the characters in the series.
