— Information: Keishin Ukai: Keishin Ukai is the current coach of Karasuno High Boys' Volleyball Club. He is also an alumnus and former player on the team, having played as a setter. Also known as: Coach (by Karasuno High Boy's Volleyball Club). Gender: Male. Age: 26. Height: 178.2 cm (5' 10"), Weight: 72.2 kg (159.2 lbs.). Occupation: Coach, Owner of Sakanoshita Store. Team: Karasuno High. Position: Setter (Former), Coach.

Appearance: Ukai has dyed blond hair with brown eyes and wears a headband. He has two piercings on his left ear that he removes during practices and games. He has been repeatedly told by Nekomata that he resembles his grandfather, the former Coach Ukai.

Personality: Ukai's behavior is fairly typical of a man in his 20s. He smokes and drinks and is willing to speak casually about alcohol to minors, using terms like "a first gulp of beer" to explain a volleyball tactic to Karasuno. He is quite competitive, agreeing to coach Karasuno only so he could beat Nekoma in the practice match and then staying on because of challenges he made with Nekomata. Ukai appears lazy and cranky, spending most of his time at work reading a newspaper with his legs on the counter or yelling at people for being too loud.

However, he's shown to have strong coaching skills and is a hardworking individual. Ukai chose to change his work schedule to a much earlier time in the morning to make up for the time he takes off to coach Karasuno. It's also been noted that in high school and college, Ukai excelled in mentoring underclassmen and had strong analysis skills of opponents. He also said that he wasn't very good at studies to Hinata when he asked Ukai to help him study. While at work, Ukai would yell at high school students and remark that he's out of a product without bothering to check, but he does have a kind side as he gave Tanaka, Kageyama, and Hinata free energy bars.

Ittetsu Takeda: Ittetsu Takeda is the faculty advisor and head coach of the Karasuno High boys' volleyball club, though the practical coaching is performed by Keishin Ukai. Also Known As: Take-chan (by Ryūnosuke Tanaka), Sensei, Specs (by Keishin Ukai). Gender: Male. Age: 29. Height: 166.5 cm (5' 5.6"), Weight: 59.4 kg (130.9 lbs.). Occupation: High School Teacher. Team: Karasuno High. Position: Teacher Advisor, Coach.

Appearance: Takeda has messy black hair and brown eyes along with glasses. He's often seen wearing a green track jacket over a white shirt with a black tie. In the manga, his tie is switched out for a spotted one. He is around the same height as Hinata, making him look younger than he actually is.

Personality: Takeda is persistent, a trait that's helped him secure practice matches and a coach for the team. He has an optimistic attitude and is rather modest and clumsy. He is polite and respectful of others, as shown by his constant bowing to others to show gratitude and to ask for practice matches or things of that sort. Takeda is generally cheerful but can get very intimidating once he's angered.

Despite his modesty, Takeda has demonstrated on multiple occasions that he can be firm with his students and takes his job as a teacher and club advisor seriously. He also frequently delivers uplifting speeches and pep-talks while employing a wide range of analogies and imagery in order to inspire the team; however, he occasionally becomes self-conscious and worried that the concepts behind his speeches might be too confusing for the team to understand (a notion that Daichi quickly dismisses).

He originally has very little personal experience and knowledge toward volleyball, despite being assigned as the Volleyball Club's advisor. He is keenly aware of his limitations and strives to work hard however he can for the sake of the students on the team. His persistence eventually pays dividends when he successfully recruits Keishin Ukai as Karasuno's new coach and subsequently arranges a practice match with Karasuno's previous rival Nekoma High.

Kiyoko Shimizu is a third-year student at Karasuno High, as well as one of the managers for the Karasuno boy's volleyball team. Also Known As: Glasses-chan, Cutie Pie (by Yūji Terushima), Goddess (by Nishinoya and Tanaka). Gender: Female. Age: 17 - 18. Height: 166.2cm (5' 5.4"), Weight: 52.4kg (115.2 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (3rd Year, Class 2). Team: Karasuno High. Position: Manager.

Appearance: Kiyoko is a very beautiful girl who stands at above average height.

She has shoulder length, raven black hair that she tucks one portion behind her left ear, whereas the rest hang freely on the right side. She has grey colored eyes with visible long lashes, a beauty mark on the left side of her chin, and thin framed glasses with baby pink rims and bridge.

Because of her attractive appearance, followed by the amount of attention that she garners, Karasuno is generally known as the team with the beautiful manager.

In her first appearance, she was seen wearing the girl's uniform for Karasuno High. Following on, she's shown to be wearing a lavender colored tracksuit with a single lilac colored stripe that runs down on both sides for the sleeves and the pants. Moving onwards, she's most commonly seen wearing the volleyball manager's uniform.

Personality: Quiet and reserved at first glance, Kiyoko is generally known for her strict and straightforward disposition due to the simple fact that she's serious and passionate about her position as the volleyball club's team manager.

Although she appears aloof for the most part, she is shown to care a lot about the team members in the volleyball club. Even going as far as to fix and wash up Karasuno's banner in order to boost up the team's morale. Surprisingly enough, she's shown to be extremely shy, especially when it comes to giving a speech of encouragement, such as when she wished the volleyball team to do their best.

After Kiyoko recruits Hitoka Yachi as manager and that she later joins the volleyball team, she begins to open herself up a lot more and is seen smiling and talking more often, even cracking jokes to let Yachi ease up whenever the latter feels anxious.

It can also be noted that Kiyoko is surprisingly strong and capable, as she was quick enough to knock a ball flying towards Yachi without flinching, which more than likely may be due to her past as a track athlete.

Hitoka Yachi: Hitoka Yachi is a first-year student at Karasuno High. She joined the boys' volleyball club partway through the year as the second manager. Also Known As: First-year girl (By Tanaka and Nishinoya), Yacchan (By Bokuto, Tanaka, Asahi and Takinoue), Yacchi (By Yū Ogasawara), Ya-chan (By Kuroo). Gender: Female. Age: 15 - 16 (High School 1st Year). Height: 149.7cm (4' 10.9"), Weight: 42.5kg (93.7 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (1st Year, Class 5). Team: Karasuno High. Position: Manager.

Appearance: Yachi is a petite, young girl with blonde hair that goes slightly past her chin and light brown eyes. She usually wears colorful star hairclips or hairbands on her left side ponytail. She usually has a cheerful expression. She has been noted by some guys (Yahaba, Kindaichi, Yamamoto, and Yamaguchi) to be cute.

Personality: Yachi is polite and genuinely sweet to others, however she is prone to having an overactive imagination, causing her to be intimidated by others a lot, and then having to apologize for her wild assumptions. She had to apologize to Hinata for thinking he was a manager because he was short, then to Coach Ukai when she thought he was a fanboy of Kiyoko that may be trying to kill her. She is also very timid and flustered easily which is shown when she blushes and covers her eyes when the volleyball team changes into their uniforms in front of her. As time passes, she becomes better at overcoming her overactive nerves it by voicing the fact that she is nervous, a piece of advice she passed down to Yamaguchi when he became nervous about facing Seijoh again.

In the beginning, Yachi underestimates her own importance and deems herself incapable even though she has a lot of good qualities, of which other people can readily see. She is quite clumsy and gets nervous easily but always takes care of others and tries to cheer them up if they are in a bad mood.

She is seen as a very curious and tidy character who jots everything down immediately and has clean, organized notes–also because of her mother being a graphic designer. Due to this, she involuntarily becomes Hinata and Kageyama's tutor when they failed their exams.

•– Daichi Sawamura: Daichi Sawamura is a third-year student at Karasuno High. He was the captain and a starting wing spiker for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Gender: Male. Age: 17-18 (High School 3rd Year). Height: 176.8 cm (5'9.6"),Weight: 70.1kg (154.5 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (3rd Year, Class 4). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 1. Position: Captain, Opposite Hitter, Wing Spiker.

Appearance: Daichi has short dark hair and dark brown eyes. He is not particularly tall among volleyball players and possesses a muscular build. It's been noted by many players that he seems "big" up close, to which most of the time Daichi believes he is being called fat. Daichi has a reassuring appearance that immediately gives off the aura of a captain and mature individual. He is usually seen with a gentle smile on his face, but when he gets angry, his eyes glaze over intimidatingly.

Personality: Daichi is a very caring and responsible captain who always puts his team first. He is also very patient and understanding, but becomes terrifying when angry, though he only shows this side when necessary. He becomes very strict when his teammates are out of line, as shown when he locked out Kageyama and Hinata from the gym when they argued and refused to listen. Nevertheless, his actions have always been for the best interest of the team. Due to his devotion to his team and his command, he is both well-respected and feared by his team.

Outside of his traits as a captain and team player, Daichi is incredibly mature and independent. During his first year at Karasuno, Daichi naturally emerged as a leader among him, Asahi, and Sugawara. He would suggest ways for improvement as well as recruiting Kiyoko as a manager even though the Karasuno team was left in disarray without a coach or a strong leader figure. He has been noted to not give off the impression of a high school student because of his mature personality. Despite that, Daichi occasionally has moments where he displays childish behavior, such as when he got in trouble for accidentally setting off the emergency bell while struggling with the captain of the boys' basketball team during the lunchtime rush.

Statistics: Power: 4/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 3/5 Game Sense: 4/5 Technique: 4/5 Speed: 3/5 Daichi's weapon isn't his attack, but his solid receive. He is a player who specializes in defense, though he and Shinsuke Kita note that he is not a defensive specialist, and along with Nishinoya is often tasked with handling difficult receives (such as Oikawa's serve) or covering for another teammate's mistakes. Daichi has also commanded formation shifts to cover for the opponents' attacks. His knowledge of the game resulted from having to learn many tactics by himself during freshman year due to the lack of a coach.

Koshi Sugawara: Koshi is a third-year student at Karasuno High. He is the vice captain, a substitute setter, and pinch server for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Also Known As: The Indomitable Setter, Suga, Mr. Refreshing, Mr. Optimism, Mr. Sunshine and Rainbows (By Oikawa), Suga-chan (By Kuroo and Saeko), Suga-san (By Ryūnosuke Tanaka). Gender: Male. Age: 17 - 18 (High School 3rd Year). Height: 174.3 cm (5' 8.6"), Weight: 63.5 kg (140 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (3rd Year, Class 4). Teams: Karasuno High. Number: 2. Position: Setter, Vice-Captain, Pinch Server.

Appearance: Sugawara is shown to be average in height with a slender build. He has slightly thick eyebrows, light grey hair, and hazel-brown eyes with a birthmark mole under his left eye. He is usually seen with a gentle smile on his face.

Personality: Being the vice captain, he has a soothing and gentle personality for his teammates and acts as a pillar of support for them. Even though he isn't Karasuno's regular setter anymore, he does not dream of giving up on playing. As such, he encourages himself and all of his teammates to never give up, no matter how rough the situation might be.

Sugawara's dedication to volleyball is clear when he decides to continue club activities even when most third-years choose to retire in order to focus on their futures. In a meeting, his teacher asked Sugawara why he's so determined to continue playing even though he's not a starting member, and Sugawara answered that he doesn't want to have regrets in the future.

He is also quite perceptive as he noticed how Tanaka asked for the key to the gym just before the first years' 3-on-3 match even though he always comes in late. He is also intelligent as he can come up with helpful tactics during games that his team members can use. An example of this is when he came up with the idea of saying "bring it" and "send it to me" for Kageyama and Hinata's combo. Sugawara also came up with the hand signals overnight while his teammates were all sleeping.

Despite his nurturing behavior, he is sometimes mischievous, as seen from how he supports Hinata when he crashed the First Year Training Camp uninvited. He also tends to get violent when he teases his teammates, often smacking them around when he's excited to join the game; although this does have the effect of cheering up the team as well. While he is a calming presence most of the time, he does have moments where he can be just as frightening as Daichi which can cause some of his teammates to be very cautious around him.

He is also rather proud, although it is very rarely shown. Notable examples are when he said: "Kageyama, from here on out if you start getting bombarded by interviews, you're gonna say 'I learned everything from a magnificent senpai called Sugawara', got it?", and when he bragged about how he came up with the name of Kageyama and Hinata's new technique 'Back Minus'. He sometimes gets so irritated by the loss of their team that he started rambling and pouting, which is very unlike his usual mature demeanor.

Statistics: Power: 2/5 Jumping: 2/5 Stamina: 2/5 Game Sense: 4/5 Technique: 4/5 Speed: 2/5 While on the sidelines, Sugawara pays close attention to the way the other team plays, often able to give his teammates advice on how to beat the other team. On the off chance that Sugawara is put in the game, he can carry over what he learned from watching on the sidelines to rally the team and score a few points. However, he quickly gets stressed out by the heat of the game and starts to overthink things too much.

Because Sugawara rarely plays in official matches, he's an unknown element. When he is called into games, the other teams, who may have had time to study up on the usual starting lineup, don't typically know what to expect from Sugawara, thus working to Karasuno's advantage.

Asahi Azumane: Asahi Azumane is a third-year student at Karasuno High. He is a wing spiker and ace for the boys' volleyball club. Also Known As: The Revived Ace, Negative Goatee (By Sugawara), Maneazu (By Bokuto), Beard-kun (by Oikawa), Goatee Guy / "Big Gun" / Samurai Guy / Man Bun (by various). Gender: Male. Age: 17 - 18 (High School 3rd Year). Height: 184.7 cm (6' 0.7"), Weight: 75.2 kg (165.8 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (3rd Year, Class 3). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 3. Position: Outside Hitter, Ace, Wing Spiker.

Appearance: He has long hair which is usually styled as a bun behind his head and dark brown eyes matching his hair as well as his eyebrows. He also appears to be growing a short scruff on his chin. His overall appearance makes him look older than he is which causes others to be afraid to approach him because of his intimidating appearance.

Personality: In contrast to his appearance, Asahi is rather quiet and gentle and has difficulties accepting that he is Karasuno's ace, as he initially doesn't see himself as the ace. Asahi is said to have a "Glass Heart", taking everything that is said about him to heart, and becoming depressed because of it at times. He shows to be weak-willed at the beginning when he leaves the team before the first-years joined the team as he felt that he let down his entire team when they lost against Date Tech even though the team thought otherwise.

Statistics: Power: 5/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 3/5 Game Sense: 3/5 Technique: 3/5 Speed: 2/5 After coming back to Karasuno, he realizes that his will and desire to play volleyball is much stronger than he thought, and with the help of his teammates, he acknowledges his position as Karasuno's ace, even though he is still mocked sometimes by Daichi for not having any "ace-like presence", and gains self-confidence. While he still feels insecure about a lot of things and seems to be quite a scaredy-cat, he clearly states that he has no intention of letting anyone take his ace position away from him, showing his development from the beginning.

Asahi is the most powerful attacker in Karasuno. He is known for a strong spike that can blast past most defenders. As such, he is often trusted with the responsibility to score when faced with multiple blockers. His best spike is when he's given a high toss that is slightly away from the net. As his captain, Daichi, has said, "If you want to stop our ace, you'll have to bring an iron wall!". Asahi has shown enough power to blast past triple blocks, hit balls hard enough to create waterfall balls, and hitting hard enough to send the ball into the spectator area. He is also able to eventually beat Date Tech's iron wall. Asahi is also good at receives, often being brought into receive formations alongside Daichi and Nishinoya. When teamed up with Tsukishima, Asahi proves to be an essential part of the team's blocking. Being one of the best servers on Karasuno, respectively behind Kageyama, Asahi is capable of hitting multiple service aces in a match. Its been noted by Atsumu and Asahi himself that he always starts games at around 70% power on his serves and spikes and increases the power gradually as the game goes on reaching 100% towards the end, with each time he increases the power and accuracy of the serve and spikes.

•– Yu Nishinoya: Yu Nishinoya is a second-year student at Karasuno High. He was the libero for the boys' volleyball team and was referred to as "Karasuno's Guardian Deity" by his teammates, for his remarkable skills. Also Known As: Karasuno's Guardian Deity/God (By Hinata), Noya-san/Noya, Nishiya (By Hinata), Nishi (By Asahi Azumane). Gender: Male. Age: 16 - 17 (High School 2nd Year). Height: 159.3 cm (5' 2.7"), Weight: 51.1 kg (112.7 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (2nd Year, Class 3). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 4. Position: Libero.

Appearance: Nishinoya is the shortest member of the team, standing at 159.3 cm. Despite his shorter stature, he has a fairly muscular build. He regularly styles his wild black hair by ruffling most of it upwards, adding 10 cm to his height; the tiny tuft of hair that falls over his forehead appears to be bleached a dirty blond. His eyes are brown and slanted.

He tends to wear brightly colored shirts that typically have a random four-character idiom printed on either its front or back, such as "One-Man Army" or "Three-Point Headstand". In games, he wears an elbow pad on his right arm in addition to his uniform, unlike the rest of the team.

Personality: Nishinoya is a very energetic and temperamental person. His boisterous nature and crazy shenanigans can attract unwanted attention quite easily, which often goes badly for him. Although he hardly ever worries about the consequences of his actions (and may even revert to violence to vent out his anger on certain occasions), he is surprisingly considerate of his friends' feelings and insecurities.

He has a quirky habit of spontaneously coming up with ridiculous names for the moves he executes while practicing receives. He is also unexpectedly shy when it comes to talking to girls he hasn't met before.

Like Tanaka, Nishinoya has a large interest in the team manager, Kiyoko. Together, they try to approach her but are usually ignored. They cause a bit of a ruckus when this happens and are usually scolded by somebody, most often Daichi. When the series officially introduces Nishinoya, he energetically approaches Kiyoko, which results in an off-screen slap. Nishinoya returns with a red cheek and a smile. Tanaka and Nishinoya both like being called "Senpai" (or Upperclassmen in the English version) and dislike boys who have most of the attention from female admirers, like Oikawa.

Nishinoya can be extremely impatient, excitable and impulsive. As Tanaka puts it, "he simply gets too fired up for his good.". He doesn't bother to filter his words and is therefore prone to blurting out whatever he's thinking in a loud and tactless manner. In-game, however, his attitude changes drastically as he becomes incredibly focused and serious, remaining calm and doing everything in his power to provide the support his team needs until the very end. For this reason, everyone in the volleyball club respects him greatly. He is shown to be incredibly hard-working, once even continuously practicing more than 200 spike-block receives to the point that his legs stopped moving.

Although he displays an incredible feat of confidence and fearlessness countless times, Nishinoya admits that he was a "huge scaredy-cat" when he was a kid. He had many fears, which resulted in his grandfather training him so he could overcome those fears, teaching him that behind every fear is a wasted experience, and telling him to never be afraid to ask for help whenever the fear doesn't fade. This reflected Nishinoya's tenacity and courageous façade during matches and served as an important matter in his character development sometime in the Nationals because he straightforwardly tells the team about his childhood without a doubt even though he is being pushed into a corner.

Statistics: Power: 2/5 Jumping: 4/5 Stamina: 5/5 Game Sense: 4/5 Technique: 3/5 Speed: 5/5 Nishinoya's skills in defense are said to be unparalleled. The level of proficiency he demonstrates in his position as a libero has caused Daichi to dub him as a "guardian deity", and his skills were also acknowledged by Nekoma's libero, Yaku. He has supremely fast reflexes, swift feet, and flexible arms. He can receive volleys that most teams would usually deem impossible and keep the ball in play and connected. One of his techniques, "Rolling Thunder", is based on him performing a dive-and-roll receive.

Nishinoya is good at acting on the spur of the moment, adapting to the flow of the game as it is required. This turned out to be a vital asset to Karasuno in their revenge game against the famed "Iron Wall", wherein Nishinoya made the split-second decision of using his foot to prevent the ball from hitting the ground since he knew he could not reach it with his hands in time. That move alone earned him the immediate astonishment and heartfelt praise of the entire stadium, including several volleyball veterans, a number of players from rival teams, and even his normally critical coach.

•– Ryūnosuke Tanaka: Ryūnosuke Tanaka is a second-year student at Karasuno High. He is part of the Boys' Volleyball Club and plays as a starting wing spiker. Tanaka was known as the team's up-and-coming ace. Also Known As: The Head of Karasuno's Attack Squad, Ryu (by Saeko and Nishinoya), Ryuu-chan (by Kanoka, Yonezawa, Saeko), Buddha, Baldy. Gender: Male. Age: 16 - 17 (High School 2nd Year). Height: 177.2 cm (5' 9.8"), Weight: 68.8 kg (151.7 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (2nd Year, Class 1). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 5 (High School 2nd Year). Position: Wing Spiker, Outside Hitter.

Appearance: Tanaka has a shaved head with a widow's peak and sharp blue-grey eyes which led many to mistake him as a delinquent. He is average in height and has a lean, but strong build. He tends to make intimidating faces to try to scare others, which Daichi scolds him for as he claims they make him look foolish instead of scary.

Personality: Loud, hotheaded, and easily angered, he is no stranger to picking fights. He is also somewhat of a slacker, as shown by his less-than-stellar work ethic in school and his usual lateness to practices. Despite all this, he is shown to be caring and supportive of his teammates, and even protective of his underclassmen. Tanaka doesn't take kindly to people who belittle others, as shown when he grows upset at Kei Tsukishima for trash-talking others during their first 3-on-3 match or when Nishinoya called Asahi a coward for not returning to the team. In addition, he gets very excited and is easily won over when an underclassman calls him "senpai." Although he is usually hot-tempered, he does act civil around girls as he usually becomes polite, resists the temptation to fight, and becomes more conscious about how he comes off. Toward Kiyoko and Yachi, he can become highly protective of them when boys from other teams show interest or will boast of Karasuno having two cute girl managers when other teams show envy.

Once he gets fired up, he is usually unstoppable on the court and uncontrollably loud, as demonstrated by his over-the-top cheering after he scores or pulls off an incredible move. He also has the tendency to take off his shirt and spin it over his head when he scores a point in practice.

Tanaka is also someone with strong mental fortitude, not letting himself be brought down by things like being targeted or getting blocked during games. He seems to know that he can be an easy target for some people and has a lot to improve on, but instead of letting those things bother him, he gets fired up and keeps trying no matter what. However, even for Tanaka, things can be too much, and every six months or so, he starts to think he is nothing but mediocre, but he tells himself that thinking like that is just a waste of time.

Tanaka has a large interest in girls, as shown in the numerous posters of female idols that are posted up in his room. One girl in particular who he has a large interest 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 out for her, alongside Nishinoya. When Yachi joined the club as a new manager, Tanaka seemed to realize how skittish she is and began looking out for her. Times when this is seen are when Yahaba showed interest in her and when he scolded Hinata when he and Kageyama fought in front of her.

Statistics: Power: 5/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 4/5 Game Sense: 1/5 Technique: 2/5 Speed: 3/5 He is a player who never gives up on the ball. According to Keishin Ukai, Tanaka is the second strongest spiker in Karasuno (Asahi being the first) and most importantly, his ability to perform when he's cornered doesn't deteriorate. He shows incredible mental fortitude during games, and this, combined with his talent and physical ability, caused Coach Ukai to note he could be an ace. Although he doesn't demonstrate it, it's been noted by Daichi that he does have pretty good game sense. Tanaka is often targeted on serves and spikes; despite this, he can receive decently well and even when he's not in position to receive properly, he will use his body to receive and ensure the ball doesn't fall. Tanaka has even been compared to Bokuto, a top 5 ace, though he was called a weaker version than him.

•– Chikara Ennoshita: Chikara Ennoshita is a second year student at Karasuno High. He played as a substitute wing spiker for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Also Known As: Director Ennoshita. Gender: Male. Age: 16 - 17 (High School 2nd Year). Height: 175.4 cm (5' 9.1"), Weight: 66.4 kg (146.4 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (2nd Year, Class 4), Team: Karasuno High. Number: 6. Position: Wing Spiker, Outside Hitter.

Appearance: Ennoshita is an average-looking guy with slightly down-turned eyes, causing him to have a somewhat sleepy look on his face. He has medium-length dark brown hair kept parted near the middle. His eyebrows and eyes are the same brown color. He doesn't usually attract much attention and often goes unmentioned even when he's on court.

Personality: He's usually quiet, reserved and can sometimes be seen with a gentle smile on his face, but he can also behave boldly towards the other second-years. Ennoshita is the only second-year who's able to control Tanaka and Nishinoya. He has the ability to understand and relate to different people and has been noted to be a stabilizing presence for the underclassmen; this trait makes him a good candidate to be a captain. Despite this, Ennoshita lacks confidence in himself, mostly because of his lack of experience in matches, and initially had trouble while subbing in for Daichi in the match against Wakutani Minami. Ennoshita's also smart and has never received a failing mark before.

•– Hisashi Kinoshita: Hisashi Kinoshita is a second-year student at Karasuno High. He is one of the substitute wing spikers and pinch servers for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Gender: Male. Age: 16 - 17 (High School 2nd Year). Height: 174.7 cm (5' 8.8"), Weight: 65.5 kg (144.4 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (2nd Year, Class 2). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 7. Position: Wing Spiker, Pinch Server.

Appearance: Kinoshita has short, spiky light brown hair and large narrowed eyes. He is average in height and is the shortest second-year apart from Nishinoya.

Personality: Kinoshita is a kind although somewhat shy individual. He gets along relatively well with his team and is not afraid to occasionally poke fun at them; such as mocking Tanaka for stripping off his shirt during the first-years match.

When playing volleyball, he's very anxious when it comes to his own abilities and constantly worries about whether he's good or not even though he has been noted to have an "uncanny knack of putting points on the board" by Ukai. Even though he isn't a regular, he is very supportive of his team and can seen wholeheartedly cheering for them during matches. Kinoshita is shown to be hard working in wanting to perfect his jump float serve to the point that Yamaguchi felt nervous about being replaced as the regular pinch server.

Statistics: Power: 3/5 Jumping: 2/5 Stamina: 3/5 Game Sense: 3/5 Technique: 3/5 Speed: 2/5 Ennoshita's fundamentals are all intermediate and he has a decent playing style, but his abilities aren't outstanding overall. He is predominantly a left-wing spiker but played as an opposite hitter during the Wakutani match (Shimada stated that he was not used to playing opposite). Ennoshita is level-headed and good at analysis during games, allowing him to often see through his opponents' plans. This ability gives him a stable presence on the team, similar to Daichi, which is one of the reasons why Ennoshita was chosen to be the captain next year. He's an all-around player that excels both at offense and defense.

•– Kazuhito Narita: Kazuhito Narita is a second-year student at Karasuno High. He plays on the Boys' Volleyball Club as a middle blocker. Gender: Male. Age: 16 - 17 (High School 2nd Year).

•– Tobio Kageyama: Tobio Kageyama is a first year student at Karasuno High School and plays as the starting setter for the boys' volleyball club. Also Known As: King of the Court (by Kitagawa Daiichi), Tobio-chan (by Oikawa), Kageyama the Kalm / Bakageyama / Bateyama-kun / Bakayama / Kalm-geyama / Yamayama-kun / Wearyama-kun / Crappyama / Tired-yama (by Hinata), King / Your Highness/Majesty (by Tsukishima, Kindaichi), Pipsqueak / Brazen Jerk (by Tsukishima), Simpleton Idiot (by Sugawara). Gender: Male. Age: 15 - 16 (High School 1st Year). Height: 180.6cm (5' 11.1"), Weight: 66.3kg (146.2 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (1st Year, Class 3). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 9. Position: Setter.

Appearance: Kageyama's height and impressively sharp glare are said to be his most prominent physical features and sources of attraction to several female classmates. He is of a lean but muscular build. He often emits an intimidating aura, which is heightened by the almost permanent scowl on his face. His black hair is cropped short, with a fringe that hangs just above his dark blue eyes. His typical attire consists of either his school uniform or practice clothes.

Personality: Perpetually sullen, arrogant, and undeniably short-tempered, Kageyama originally came off as a typical overbearing perfectionist, caring only about winning and completely disregarding the opinions and well-being of his teammates. His habit of complaining about their performance and barking orders at them eventually led the other players in Kitagawa Daiichi to nickname him the "King of the Court," a constant reminder of the oppressive, egocentric attitude he demonstrated during his volleyball career in junior high.

Unbeknownst to the majority of his schoolmates and acquaintances, however, he is much more sensitive and childish than he appears to be; he simply does not know how to control his frustration, and hence expresses his thoughts and emotions in an inappropriate way. After everyone in Kitagawa Daiichi became fed up with him and abandoned his side, Kageyama was filled with genuine regret and developed an intense fear of being despised and mistrusted but refused to openly discuss his problem until Tsukishima confronted him about it.

Despite his inability to properly socialize, he sincerely wishes to do his best and is extremely passionate and dedicated when it comes to volleyball, to the point where he gets overly excited about nearly every successful move he pulls off with Hinata. As a setter, Kageyama instantly starts a rivalry with other setters when learning of their position and tends to direct much of his efforts during games into trying to prove his skills surpass the rival setter. Times this was clearly seen was anytime he played against Oikawa and during the match against Shiratorizawa when he and Shirabu faced off to the point they openly glared at each other during the match. At the same time, he does hold some admiration for certain setters, most notably Akaashi from Fukurōdani Academy as he became incredibly jealous when Tsukishima admitted to having frequently practiced with him during the summer training camps.

Since joining Karasuno, he has grown to be more respectful of his upperclassmen, as well as more accepting of people whose abilities and/or views differ from his own, and has come to once again understand the importance of teamwork and mutual trust in the sport he treasures so much. Additionally, this has also helped him regain his confidence as a setter. He has also come to realize that he doesn't call the shots on the court and has learned to give up control to Hinata and other spikers.

During high school, he still gets extremely angry when he is called by his nickname, "King of the Court".

Statistics: Power: 2/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 4/5 Game Sense: 4/5 Technique: 4/5 Speed: 3/5 Kageyama is known as the "King of the Court" and a volleyball genius for his incredible technique and game sense. As a high-caliber setter, Kageyama has the potential to unify the team with his overwhelming talent, but he originally struggles with effectively communicating with his teammates. Over time, he has learned to utilize his skills to bring out the best of his spikers. He now pays attention to his spikers' condition and adjusts his toss accordingly instead of forcing them to match him all the time.

In addition to his astounding accuracy and technical skills as a setter, Kageyama is a skilled all-rounder with a remarkable grasp of both the basics and the complexities of volleyball. He is capable of playing many other positions, including wing spiker, but chooses to become a setter due to his love for being the team's control tower. Kageyama also has an affinity for improvised strategy and is the first person to suggest using Hinata's prominent presence on the court as an effective decoy. Due to all these factors, Kageyama is one of the players selected to participate in the All-Japan Youth Intensive Training Camp.

•– Shoyo Hinata: Shoyo Hinata is a first-year student at Karasuno High. He was one of the middle blockers for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Also Known As: The Strongest/Ultimate Decoy / Number One Shortie (by Tanaka), Chibi-chan / Small fry (by Kuroo, Yaku, Oikawa, Bokuto, Lev), Mini Spider Man / Copper Top (By Terushima), Dumbass / Runt / Dolt / Scrub / Moron / Human Tangerine (by Kageyama), Pipsqueak (by Tsukishima), Sho-chan / Hina (by Izumi), Ginger/Little Ginger / Red/Little Red / Carrot Top (by Keishin Ukai), Munchkin / Shrimpy / Shrimpo / Shortie pie / Small Fry / Shorty (by various), Ninja Shoyo, Mr. I Got A Fever And Got Benched (by Sakusa). Gender: Male. Age: 15 - 16 (High School 1st Year). Height: 162.8cm (5' 4.1"), Weight: 51.9kg (114.4 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (1st Year, Class 1). Team: Karasuno High. Number: 10. Position: Middle Blocker, Decoy.

Appearance: Hinata is the second shortest person on the Karasuno volleyball team, next to Nishinoya. He has unruly orange hair and brown eyes. His relatively thin build and short stature often lead him to be mistaken for a junior high (or, in some cases, even grade school) student. Hinata typically dresses in his Karasuno school uniform with a black jacket and black pants. Beneath his jacket is a beige or tan sweatshirt.

During matches, Hinata wears his volleyball uniform—a black jersey and corresponding shorts with white and orange stripes on the sides. On the back of his jersey is his position number 10 (coincidentally, the same number that was worn by the Small Giant) and his school's name written in kanji. On the court, he wears kneepads and white volleyball shoes with red accents.

Personality: Hinata has a cheerful and energetic personality. He is easily excited and can be quite loud, a trait second only to Nishinoya and Tanaka. For the most part, Hinata is very simpleminded which sometimes causes him to make rash decisions. However, he is also shown to be quite observant. He is capable of reading social cues and can be incredibly empathetic toward others' struggles. As such, he often says just what others need to hear to push themselves in the right direction. He is also noted to be a natural schmoozer, a quality that his teammates occasionally use to win someone over such as when Nishinoya agreed to help with Hinata's receives after being flattered by the first-year. His friendly and straightforward personality allows him to befriend even the quietest of people effortlessly, such as Kenma from Nekoma High and Aone from Date Tech High.

However, despite his generally bubbly exterior, Hinata is also shown to have a serious attitude, particularly when it comes to volleyball. His intense love for the sport is demonstrated through his impressive display of tenacity stemming from his constant desire to improve his abilities. As stated by Sugawara, Hinata plays with great fortitude in the face of adversity and thus doesn't give up easily during a match. Hinata can also exhibit a very intimidating expression when people underestimate him or speak poorly of his team. Still, Hinata gets scared easily, especially by larger and stronger opponents. This prompts him to develop the habit of hiding behind his nearest teammate. However, he recovers quickly before confidently challenging their opponents.

In the beginning, Hinata is easily agitated before a match due to his lack of experience. He becomes so nervous that he would have an upset stomach or need to go to the toilet constantly. He also becomes clumsy as he would mess up his spikes or receives. Before Karasuno's first practice match against Aoba Johsai High, Hinata is so affected that he mistook Daichi and Kiyoko's attempt to comfort him as more pressure and short-circuited. He only recovers after royally messing up and driving a serve into the back of Kageyama's head. Over time, Hinata becomes more apt at handling the pressure. Although still faint-hearted, Hinata has a considerably less severe reaction and can perform well during matches regardless.

Hinata, like Kageyama, does poorly in school since he, too, is preoccupied with volleyball. He once told Sugawara that ever since he'd entered high school, he had never scored in the double digits on any of his tests. However, when given the necessary motivation and guidance, he devotes himself to his schoolwork in order to bring his grades up. Such a time this is seen is when he was at risk of not being able to attend the Tokyo training camp due to low grades and is shown to have improved his scores thanks to serious study time and help from Yachi and his team.

Statistics: Power: 1/5 Jumping: 5/5 Stamina: 5/5 Game Sense: 1/5 Technique: 1/5 Speed: 5/5 Hinata is often described as clumsy yet incredibly athletic. When he first entered Karasuno, he didn't know much about volleyball and focused only on spiking. However, with the help of his new teammates, he soon learned the fundamentals and basic techniques. Despite his inexperience, Hinata constantly tries to figure out what he can do to help out during a match. He is not afraid of experimenting with new things and can easily improvise when things don't go according to plan. He is an incredibly fast learner who can improve his skills merely by watching others to copy their movements (although most of the time he fails on the first try). Hinata is also one of the few players with the ability to see the entire width of the court when he reaches the apex of his jump. He has said that when he's jumping to spike, he can see the movements his opponents make and even the individual expressions on their faces.

Since the Tokyo Expedition Arc, Hinata's overall skills have improved greatly. His coordination and mobility have increased with his mastery of flying receives, allowing him to make some near-impossible saves. Also, Hinata can now fight in mid-air battle using block-outs and feints.

Hinata isn't known as a powerful player, but rather as one who utilizes speed and stamina to his advantage. Above all else, Hinata's main assets are his fortitude and determination to win.

•– Kei Tsukishima: Kei Tsukishima is a first-year at Karasuno High. He plays as one of the starting middle blockers on the boys' volleyball team. Also Known As: Tsukki (by Yamaguchi, Hinata, Bokuto, Kuroo, Koganegawa, Lev, Shimada and Takinoue), Glasses / Four Eyes (by Kuroo, Bokuto, Tendō and Oikawa), Skinny (by Kuroo and Bokuto), Stingyshima / Four-eyed Jerk Face / Suckyshima (by Hinata), Lil' Bro Shima (by Akaizawa), The Smirky Read Blocker (by Nishinoya), The Normal Guy / Mr. Vanilla (by Tendō), Tsukki-dude / Tsukki-poo (by Bokuto), Tiredshima, Wearyshima (By Kageyama), Pesky Firefly from Karasuno (by Shirabu), Glasses-kun (by Yonezawa), The Clever Blocker, Weirdo Quick Killer (by Ukai). Gender: Male. Age: 15 - 16 (High School 1st Year). Height: 188.3 cm (6' 2.1"), Weight: 68.4 kg (150.8 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (1st Year, Class 4). Team: Karasuno High Number: 11. Position: Middle Blocker.

Appearance: Tsukishima is very tall and has an incredibly slim build for a volleyball player. Despite being a first-year, he is the tallest player on the volleyball team; standing at 190.1 cm. He has short blond hair, pale skin, thin eyebrows, and golden-brown eyes. He is often seen with a frown or a condescending smirk 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 that were given to him by his brother.

Outside of matches and practice, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno male uniform. He is usually seen with white headphones around his neck.

Personality: Tsukishima is very blunt and will sometimes rile his teammates up due to his antagonistic nature (most notably being Hinata, Kageyama, Nishinoya, and Tanaka) and sometimes other teams because of his casual smug attitude, taking pride in and relishing when his opponents see him as a nuisance as seen with Tendō and Shirabu.

Whenever someone does or says something stupid or silly, he is usually seen snickering in the background. However, he does seem to be intimidated by his seniors, being nowhere in sight when Daichi reprimands Tanaka for antagonizing Aoba Johsai even though he did so as well or backing down whenever Ennoshita calls him out.

Despite coming across as arrogant, Tsukishima has low self-esteem and thinks of himself as inferior to others in certain areas. This is first noted to be a surprise by Kuroo, who accidentally riles him up by suggesting he'll lose to Hinata, to which he says that he's already below him. While he willingly admits his own faults, he does not like it when others point these things out, becoming annoyed and angry when Hinata tried to take responsibility in blocking Ushijima and then when Bokuto called his blocks weak in a sense of strength given how easily he got by him during practice. Knowing his limitations, Tsukishima reluctantly knows he must depend on others for certain things and gives his own version of motivation that is usually disguised as jabs at their skills or pride.

Although Tsukishima maintains a persona of someone who shows little interest in anything and wouldn't do something he didn't like or enjoy, he does truly enjoy volleyball. He initially refrained from putting too much effort into volleyball and being too passionate about it out of fear of suffering from the same fate as his brother. However, after his confrontation with Yamaguchi and hearing Bokuto's inspirational words in the Tokyo training camp, he started to take the sport more seriously and finally found his passion and motivation for volleyball when he blocked Ushijima.

Tsukishima keeps his cool, for the most part, but he can be seen getting visibly annoyed when people underestimate him or tell him what he can or cannot do and uses it 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.

According to Akiteru, "Kei is blunt and doesn't show his emotions often, but he is actually a very hardworking and kind boy."

Statistics: Power: 2/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 3/5 Game Sense: 5/5 Technique: 3/5 Speed: 3/5 Tsukishima is shown to be immensely proficient at blocking primarily because of his height. It has been said by Kenma that Tsukishima is a calm and collected blocker who thoroughly analyzes his actions. This ability also allows him to perform split-second feints to surprise and put his opponents off-balance. After the final training camp before the spring tournament, he is able to match the power and speed of an adult, whereas before, he couldn't even hold the block. Potentially his biggest weakness is that he is lacking in stamina compared to his teammates and is shown to tire out more easily. This will occasionally affect his mindset as he will not be able to think as clearly as he wishes which may cause an error to occur.

•– Tadashi Yamaguchi: Tadashi Yamagushi is a first-year student at Karasuno High. He is a middle blocker and pinch server for the Boys' Volleyball Team. Also Known As: Scaredy Cat Pinch Server, Karasuno's First-Year Relief Server (by Suguru), Pipsqueak (by Tanaka). Gender: Male. Age: 15 - 16 (High School 1st Year). Height: 179.5 cm (5' 10.7"), Weight: 63.0 kg (138.9 lbs.). Occupation: High School Student (1st Year, Class 4). Team: Karasuno High Number: 12. Position: Middle Blocker, Pinch Server.

Appearance: He has dark grayish-green hair with a flyaway piece of hair sticking up at the top. He has large eyes with small, amber colored pupils. Yamaguchi is taller than average and has a thin build. This, coupled with his freckles, had caused him to be bullied when he was younger, although he doesn't seem to be bothered by this anymore.

After joining the Karasuno volleyball team during games, Yamaguchi wears Karasuno's black, orange, and white uniform with the number 12 on the back. He also wears knee pads and white volleyball shoes with black accents. Outside of matches and practice, Yamaguchi wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno uniform.

Personality: Yamaguchi is a pretty shy person who relies on others early on, most likely stemmed from being bullied because of his appearance. Despite this, Yamaguchi is generally a nice person but does tend to join Tsukishima in teasing others, mainly Kageyama and Hinata. He does show that he is a loyal friend and a supportive teammate. Yamaguchi can at times be seen defending Tsukishima from things he believes were insults toward his friend.

Originally, Yamaguchi constantly doubted his abilities and had difficulty handling his nerves. It was through hard work and seeking mentorship through Shimada that he was able to better his skills and become more confident. By the time Karasuno had their rematch against Aoba Johsai in the semifinals, Yamaguchi has made exceptional progress in both his gameplay and emotions.

Statistics: Power: 2/5 Jumping: 3/5 Stamina: 2/5 Game Sense: 3/5 Technique: 2/5 Speed: 3/5 Although having played volleyball for several years prior to attending Karasuno, Yamaguchi's skills are relatively average. His basic volleyball skills are on the weaker side as he often failed to perform receives, blocks, and serves properly. While his taller height added to blocks, he was not strong enough to stop stronger players.

Once the team had formed their regular starting line-up and he was the only first-year left out, Yamaguchi became determined to be a player that could help out his team however he could. After seeing Shimada score numerous aces with the jump float serve, he sought the older man's guidance in learning to perform and perfect the serve himself and it eventually became his main weapon and a powerful tool for the team.

Despite his skills as a server improving over time, his body control as a receiver is still lacking, resorting to body saves and unorthodox shots.
