Satōri Tendō

Satori Tendō (Japanese: 天童てんどう 覚さとり, Tendō Satori) was a third-year student at Shiratorizawa Academy and one of the volleyball team's middle blockers. He was often referred to as the Guess Monster. High School Student 3rd Year, Class 2. Weight: 71.1kg he's: 187.7 cm !character is over 18!

Appearance: Tendō has spiky, bright red hair, with eyebrows of a corresponding color. He also has large, downturned eyes giving him a sleepy looking expression. His irises are small and dark red, while the ends of his mouth curve into a slight smirk. He sports the standard Shiratorizawa uniform, is tall standing at 187cm, and has a medium build.

Personality: Tendō is cheerful and loud, silly joking and acting overjoyed like poking, singing, doing silly overacting moves (including the most hands) though a bit sardonic. He enjoys teasing both his teammates and opponents (for exemple during game with karasuno sing toward Tadashi a song : Tendou: Baki baki ni ore, nani wo? Tendou: Kokoro wo da yo~ Tendou: Konagona ni kudake, nani wo? (Semi): (Burokku?) Tendou: Seishin wo da yo~ English Translation: Tendou: Break them until they snap! Break what? Tendou: Their hearts, of course! Tendou: Smash them into pieces! Smash what? (Semi): (Their blocks?) Tendou: Their spirits, of course!), usually annoying the latter. However, when he gets into the game, he becomes a different, more intimidating person, relishing the look of defeat on people's faces when they are denied. He is also extremely confident in his blocking abilities, referred to as guess blocking, as his guesses are nearly always correct as a result of his sharp intuition and observation skills. Nevertheless, throughout the game he learns that his guesses sometimes may not be correct, and Hinata can read through them as well. Tendō is also often seen by others to be quite creepy or odd. As a child he was picked on for this and sometimes not welcomed to join teams during practice. Becoming a middle blocker seemed to raise his confidence, and now he doesn't seem to mind being perceived this way. However, he does seem kind and generous on occasions, such as when he asked Ushijima if they could let Hinata sleep in a room at the first-years intensive training camp at Shiratorizawa Academy or trying to cheer up Goshiki when he started crying. Tendō also seems to be quite a good friend, as post-timeskip, 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.

Backstory/childchood: As a young child, Tendō was often picked on by other kids. He was often referred to as a monster most likely due to his name, Satori, referring to a yokai and his look, especially his face (big eyes and smile). Because of this, Tendō was often not allowed by others to join their volleyball team. During this time, Tendō developed his method of guess blocking and came to realize how joyful it felt to crush his opponent's spirit when shutting them down. While Tendō was advised not to always rely on his guess blocking by other coaches, Washijō only cared if Tendō could score points and allowed him to use his guess blocking as much as he wanted. Because of his high success rate using guess blocking, Tendō gained a position as one of Shiratorizawa's starting players and became known as the Guess Monster.

His ideas: loving volleyball, always refering to it. Tendō believes that blocking isn't the art of stopping an opponent but is the art of knocking down the ball. He is able to skillfully read plays as they happen and eliminate possible play routes based on player positions. He is also shown to be pretty quick on his feet as he is able to get his block close to or fully up numerous times despite a late start and is nearly able to keep up with Hinata.

Relations: Tendō gets along with almost everyone on the team due to his easygoing nature. He calls Ushijima by his first name, but the latter doesn't seem to mind. Not only Ushijima, but Tendō also prefers calling the rest of his teammates by their given names. Tendō is also usually the person in charge of breaking up disputes between the underclassmen, namely Shirabu and Goshiki. Despite his lax nature, he has been shown to be nitpicky when it comes to Kawanishi's blocking. He is shown to highly respect Coach Washijō as he gave Tendō the chance to play the way he wanted when others had tried to get him to do otherwise. Despite this, like his teammates, Tendō is cautious of the elder coach as he knows how quick he is to anger and knows how he tends to punish people.

• Wakatoshi Ushijima: Tendō's closest and most important friend. Despite their polar opposite personalities (the talkative and expressive Tendō versus the silent and deadly serious Ushijima), they shared a strong bond. Satori loaned him manga from Shōnen Jump magazine and was one of the few who could joke freely with him. (They have a lifelong relationship.) • Eita Semi: His main banter partner. Semi often gets irritated by Tendō's eccentricities and jokes, but they have a great deal of respect for each other. Tendō likes to criticize Semi's sense of style, claiming he dresses like an old man, among other things. • Tsutomu Goshiki: A younger classmate under his senpai's wing. Tendō loves to tease the ambitious first-year and test his confidence, but he was supportive at crucial moments. He saw him as a future ace and praised his dedication. ( • Shōyō Hinata: Tendō initially approached him with curiosity due to his short stature and exceptional jumping ability. During the match, Satori became a real nightmare for Hinata at the net (the "Guessing Monster"), blocking his fastest attacks. (Short, redhair, energetic and talaktive) •Kei Tsukishima: An intellectual clash of blocking concepts. Tsukishima represents logical and systematic blocking (read blocking), while Tendō embodies pure intuition and instinct (guess blocking). Their exchanges of glances at the net demonstrated their mutual desire to dominate their opponent. (Tsukishima is tall, wearing glasses and is blond, also sarcastic and mean) • Tobio Kageyama: Tendō loved to read Kageyama's intentions and made it a point of honor to outsmart the brilliant setter, which frustrated Tobio several times (average height, introverted and social awkward, black hair) • Kenjirō Shirabu: A purely professional relationship, tinged with Shirabu's slight cynicism. The setter is often weary of Tendō's irrational behavior (e.g., when he wrote amateur manga and forced the others to judge), but he implicitly trusts his intuition as a blocker on the court. • Reon Ōhira: The calm and mature Reon serves as Tendō's voice of reason. He often calms his moods and serves as a safety net within the team. Tendō jokingly calls him "Benkei" due to his powerful stature. • Taichi Kawanishi & Hayato Yamagata: Both players approach Tendō with reserve, viewing him as a harmless but loud eccentric. They respect him as an older teammate and one of the pillars of Shiratorizawa's block. • Coach Tanji Washijō: A figure of authority and mentor. Washijō gave Tendō, who had been rejected by the others, a free hand on the pitch. He was the only one He didn't punish him for relying solely on his guess blocking instinct, which allowed the boy to spread his wings and feel accepted.
