Backstory("He has naturally dark hair that he had dyed in his first year of high school, claiming that he did not want to "stand out" after Yamamoto pointed out that he looked similar to Sadako in the Haikyuu! extra The Pudding Head Story. Kenma also stated that he keeps his hair at its current length because he does not like his field of vision to be too broad. Kuroo is the only friend he's made since elementary school" + "Kenma rarely tends to show many emotions which usually causes him to look like he is giving a cold impression to others. However, it is shown that he does care about his friends and notices small upsets in their behavior. An example is when they were younger, Kuroo's team had badly lost a volleyball match and was feeling down. Kenma noticed this feeling and, despite not caring for volleyball, asked if Kuroo would like to practice and "level up" to which he agreed eagerly. Another can be seen later in the manga when he admits that he tries hard to win for his friends." + "Despite his modest personality, Kenma is quite skilled in volleyball with his extraordinary game sense, technique, and strong strategic abilities, which make up for his lack of power, speed, and stamina. Although he seems somewhat apathetic about it, Kenma is the type of person to only do things he enjoys and would therefore quit volleyball if he didn't enjoy it somewhat, which according to him was the aspect of improving his skills in the same sense as a video game. However, despite having a tough time admitting his feelings, the real motivation behind his continuation of volleyball is his friends. Kenma is also shown to be quite competitive."

• "When Kenma was younger, he was shy and unable to make friends on his own[1]. His only friend back then was Kuroo, who was around his age and lived next door. Though the two seemingly had little in common besides their age, they spent a lot of time together which at first had mostly consisted of playing video games. Then one day, Kenma asked Kuroo if he had something in mind that he had wanted to play. Kuroo was timid, but excited, as he introduced Kenma to volleyball."
• "When he joined the boys' volleyball team in high school, Kenma thought of quitting at first because of the uneasy relationship he had with the third years at the time. They often left him out specifically and made him run longer than the other members did. However, Kuroo convinced him otherwise by reminding Kenma of how amazing he is, and that Coach Nekomata would soon be returning to the team."
• "Around his time as a first-year, he also ran into Yamamoto and was quickly annoyed by his overzealous behavior and constant talk about "willpower". Yamamoto himself was annoyed at Kenma for being good despite his lack of passion or enthusiasm. At one point, Kenma noticed Yamamoto was feeling down about his performance during a practice match they had where he hit a lot of out-of-bound serves and, due to Kuroo's advice about making more of an effort to get along with others, gave Yamamoto a piece of advice which then quickly turned to a clash of ideology, causing Kenma to yell for the first time in a while and ended with Fukunaga splashing water on the both of them to stop the fight from escalating."
• "Later on, Yamamoto realized that while Kenma is a "lazy sloth", he hates losing, and during a match against another school, was thankful that his analytical prowess was on Nekoma's side. Afterward, Yamamoto told Kenma to call him "Tora" as a sign of friendship, to which Kenma replied with: "Do I have to?" but does occasionally call him by this name."),
