(Appearence) Akaashi has short, messy black hair and blue eyes with thin pupils and slightly thick eyebrows; in some official art, his eyes appear to be green, but in others, they are more blue-colored. He tends to wear an emotionless or slightly exasperated expression a great majority of the time but is shown to smile occasionally given the circumstance.

He makes his debut at the beginning of the Tokyo summer training camp wearing a navy T-shirt with a light aqua sports bib on top, the number 5 printed in black, and a pair of white shorts. His shoes are white with yellow details, and he doesn't appear to be wearing kneepads during official and practice games.

When dressed in his school uniform, he wears a light grey blazer, white dress shirt, and black trousers. His shirt is neatly tucked into the waistband, and his blue and white striped tie is knotted neatly. And he wears glasses from time to time.

(Personality) Akaashi is calm and composed most of the time, usually choosing not to show a wide range of emotions. He has a habit of calling people out on the foolish things they do, especially Bokuto, whom he seems to be relatively close with despite their opposing personalities.

Akaashi is blunt with the things he says and often invites himself into the conversation when necessary, throwing in witty comments or responses. He is also quite polite and humble but, this could be due to the fact that he is younger than most of his teammates, as he does have a cheeky side, dubbing Kuroo during one match: "Pain-in-the-ass Kuroo-san."

Akaashi also has a strong analytical side which can be seen whenever he makes split-second decisions on how to save the game from Bokuto's mood swings. It took him roughly 0.5 seconds to decide whether or not setting the ball to Bokuto while he was upset would be worth it or not.

During the match against Mujinazaka High, Akaashi is shown that he can also suffer from overthinking, and feeling overwhelmed from the pressure he has placed on himself as the setter. It got so bad that he had to be benched in order to clear his head. When he sat down, he had a moment of calm, right before not being able to take the stress and yelling into his hands in an uncharacteristic display of emotions.

(Background) Before coming to Fukurōdani Academy, Akaashi attended Mori Junior High School and played as a setter on the volleyball team. In his middle school, his volleyball teammates had adequate skills, but they did not have a strong passion for playing. He received a recommendation from Fukurōdani Academy and had Fukurōdani and Suzumeoka as his choices for high school. However, after witnessing a high school match featuring Kōtarō Bokuto, his passionate attitude for volleyball impacted Akaashi, hence leading him to enroll into Fukurōdani Academy.[2] It was upon joining the team and Bokuto discovering he was a setter that Akaashi would be dragged into Bokuto's spiking practices where the ace would hail his sets as the best he's ever been given.

Although he did not choose to enter Fukurōdani with great ambition, he is glad to be part of the school.

(Plot) Akaashi's official appearance comes during the weekend training camp at Nekoma High when he is playing a practice match with his team. During the second camp, he is with Bokuto and Kuroo during a free practice when the two third years attempt to get Tsukishima to join them.[3] When Tsukishima tries to turn down their offer and question why no one on their own team will practice with them, Akaashi explains that the rest of the Fukurōdani team will run off at the first chance they get because of Bokuto's seemingly endless spiking practice. After Kuroo was able to provoke Tsukishima into joining the practice, Akaashi provides multiple sets for Bokuto and at one point teases the ace for beating a single blocker.

After Kuroo unintentionally upset Tsukishima, Akaashi and Bokuto lightly teased the middle blocker for it but see that he had meant no harm and listen as he explained his theory of Tsukishima feeling inferior to Hinata. Shortly after Tsukishima's confrontation with Yamaguchi, Tsukishima returns to their free practice to question them on why they put in so much effort into volleyball. Although Bokuto and Kuroo were annoyed at the way Tsukishima described their schools powerhouse status, Akaashi kept the two from getting too upset and willing to hear Tsukishima's question. The following night, Akaashi is with the group again in the third gym when Hinata and Lev appear and ask to join in their practice.[4] At Kuroo's suggestion of a 3-on-3, Akaashi points out the imbalance since the taller players have formed one team while the shorter players are the second team. They were only able to play for a short while until Yukie and Suzumeda appear to inform them they will need to end their practice or risk missing dinner.

During the next free practice, Akaashi continues to play alongside Bokuto and Hinata. He watches as Hinata is eventually faced with Kuroo, Lev, and Tsukishima trying to block him and feels that Hinata is in a cornered situation as he appears to have no way to get past the blockers. He would soon be surprised to see Hinata accidentally perform a block-out followed by Bokuto's enthusiastic praise of the middle blocker's accomplishment and the offer to teach him a new special attack.

On the final day of the training camp, Fukurōdani plays their final match against Karasuno. Early in the match, Akaashi and everyone watching are completely caught off guard when Hinata executes a feint shot. Bokuto especially is surprised at seeing the feint until Akaashi reminds the ace that he was the one who taught Hinata this particular technique; simultaneously embarrassing Bokuto and earning him the annoyance of the rest of the Fukurōdani team.[5] Akaashi would soon display his own skills when he is able to set a quick from an off receive without any trouble. At seeing Hinata and Kageyama perform their improved super quick attack, Bokuto requests Akaashi for them to try the same but the setter believes this is a bad idea. He explains that an attack like this would be unlikely for them to be able to copy since Hinata is hitting the ball like it's the easiest thing in the world, and that it would be extremely difficult for him to copy Kageyama's floating set as it is possibly beyond his skill level.

As Karasuno begins to use their new attacks and start getting the better of Fukurōdani, Akaashi notices that Bokuto is starting to get frustrated and make mistakes. As Bokuto receives Tanaka's serve and demand the ball, Akaashi takes Bokuto's current mood and possibilities into consideration and debates on whether or not it would be beneficial to Fukurōdani to give Bokuto the set or not within the span of 0.5 seconds. He decides to set to the ace only for the spike to be blocked. Even with the second chance to attack, Akaashi sets to Bokuto again but this time the ace sends his spike into the net. With this, Bokuto completely shuts down and requests Akaashi to stop setting to him. Akaashi agrees to Bokuto's demand, to the ace's surprise, and in turn asks the wing spiker to take this chance to calm down. Even with Bokuto out for a while, Akaashi and the team are able to keep pushing forward and give Karasuno a hard time. Akaashi even sneaks in a setter dump that puts Fukurōdani back in the lead.

As Fukurōdani reaches match point, Akaashi wonders if Karasuno has figured out that Fukurōdani is not a team that solely relies on Bokuto to carry them. At the same time, he notices Bokuto starting to get restless in wanting to have the ball set to him. Knowing Karasuno is not focusing on Bokuto anymore, Akaashi sets to Bokuto who lands the winning shot.

(Statistics) Akaashi is overall a very balanced player and a good setter who can accurately set the toss for a wide range of attacks. He has been noted for his strategic skills as well, and his ability to perform a quick set even when the receive is a bit sloppy.

He is also very analytical, as seen during the Nekoma vs Fukurōdani match, in which Bokuto forgot how to do cross spikes and Akaashi was able to successfully revive Bokuto.[11] He was also complimented on this by Nekoma's coach after the match.

Jumping Reach: 327 cm.

(Skills) Setting: Akaashi's strongest skill is his setting abilities. He is able to provide easy to hit sets to any member of the team. Although his skills are not on the same level as Kageyama's, Akaashi is still skilled enough to see where and how to set to his teammates. Blocking: Group OVA 5-6. While he is slightly taller than average, Akaashi is sometimes targeted as an easy blocker to beat mainly because he does not possess the same physical power as some of his teammates. As such, he is unable to fully block more powerful or skilled spikers such as Sakusa.

One Person Time Difference Attack: Although he hasn't done this attack on screen yet, it is known that Akaashi has been practicing this skill with Tsukishima during the Summer Training Camp, which enables Tsukishima to use this technique against Shiratorizawa with Kageyama setting. Toss Rebound: During the match against Mujinazaka High, a receive by Konoha was made too long. Unlike other talented setters such as Kageyama, who would normally toss it perfectly despite the off-receive, Akaashi rebound the ball against the blockers by tossing it, giving his team another chance to attack.

Jump Serve: He is shown to do a jump serve in the manga, when Fukurōdani played against Nekoma. While he is often spared from having to make a serve or spike receive, Akaashi is a capable receiver. He is able to pick up attacks from opposing teams with relative ease and even be able to make one handed receives when needed.

(Relationships) Kōtarō Bokuto: Akaashi seems to be Bokuto's closest on-screen friend, often getting dragged into his antics whether he likes it or not. The setter is often tasked with dealing with Bokuto's mood swings, and Akaashi can predict which of Bokuto's moods will surface with each move. He can also tell when Bokuto's playing is off, even if it's something small. They hang out together in school, despite Akaashi being in the year below Bokuto and their clear contrasting personalities. They also seem to be closely involved with each other, as Akaashi knows and reminds Bokuto that he failed his math exam and Bokuto exclaims that Akaashi promised not to tell, or when Bokuto suddenly threw off his jacket and Akaashi immediately caught it, suggesting he's either predicted his action, or that Bokuto has done this before. Akaashi has been reigning in Bokuto for so long that he has a list of Bokuto's weaknesses and ways to help him memorized. However, during the Mujinazaka match, Akaashi had to come to terms with the realization that despite everything, he was not in control of Bokuto and his actions, and that not everything rests on his shoulders. Post-timeskip, the two remain friendly and during an interview with Bokuto, Akaashi had the realization that even though he's always suspected it, he and Bokuto do not have the same definition of "normal", which in turn confused Tenma Udai who did not understand their conversation.

Shōyō Hinata and Kei Tsukishima: Akaashi first meets the Karasuno first-years at the summer training camps but becomes more familiar with them during the 3-on-3 practices in the third gym. He would form a closer bond with Tsukishima during the camp when the two would discuss plays and Bokuto's reliability as a player and being one of the top aces in the nation. The two had practiced a time lag attack that Tsukishima would later use during the Shiratorizawa match.

Akaashi is not shown around Hinata much, but it is clear that the two have formed a good friendship. When Hinata runs into Bokuto and Akaashi at the opening ceremony for the Spring Tournament, Akaashi advised Hinata to tell Bokuto when to be quiet and the setter also knew that Hinata's presence during the Eiwa game would help bring Bokuto out of his slump. In the Final Arc, Akaashi attends the Adlers and Jackals game and was touched at seeing how strong Hinata has become.

Tenma Udai: Post-timeskip, the two have become friends while working at the same manga company. While their friendship is not greatly detailed, they appear to be good friends as they attended the Adlers vs Jackals game together and in A Party Reignited Akaashi is seen at Udai's apartment.
