Atsumu’s appearance—> During childhood, Atsumu is shown to have dark brown hair. Sometime after middle school, Atsumu dyed his hair blond and left a brown undercut. Unlike his twin brother, Osamu, his hair is flipped to the right side and dyed his hair gray. Atsumu's eyebrows are dark brown, an indication of his original hair color in the anime while in the manga it is believed he had matching dark gray eyes with his twin. His brown eyes are large, hooded, and slightly drooping. He can usually be seen wearing a smile or smirk on his face. Post-timeskip, Atsumu has cut his hair to a shorter length and now keeps his bangs swept away from his face. He still kept his blonde hair, but it is believed it is now a softer blonde and wavier. His current appearance is Post-timeskip. Atsumu is twenty three years old.

Atsumu’s personality—> Outwardly, Atsumu appears to be a carefree, confident person who's usually seen with a lazy smile on his face, though he enjoys provoking people and giving offhand compliments. He can be quite condescending, and somewhat selfish at times. Osamu has described him as someone who doesn't listen to others, doesn't return what he borrows, and lies habitually.

He also appears to be a perfectionist who has ridiculously high standards for himself and his spikers, which has caused several teammates to dislike him, but he appears unconcerned about their opinions. He strives to provide the best toss for his spikers, but in turn, expects the spikers to perform at a high standard. If the spikers fail to meet his standards, Atsumu is not afraid to confront them directly and even call them trash, including his own twin brother. He is extremely sensitive when it comes to serving and how much noise is around him; if he's disturbed while serving, his outward personality changes completely, and he becomes intimidatingly angry towards the disturbance.

Atsumu is a competitive person who hates losing; sometimes, these traits can veer off in a bad direction. Osamu has also noted that his twin brother's mental age drops by five years whenever he's in the middle of a game.

Atsumu’s background —> Atsumu lives in Hyogo Prefecture, and thus speaks in a Kansai dialect. He is currently a second-year at Inarizaki High School with his twin brother, Osamu. He is recognized as the number one high school setter, as well as receiving the Best Server award during middle school and the Interhigh. Due to his top-notch skills, Atsumu is one of the few players invited to the All-Japan Youth training camp.

The twins have been playing volleyball since their elementary school days. In the fourth grade, they attended a volleyball workshop where they met their current teammate Aran Ojiro.[2] During the workshop, Atsumu witnessed personally how a skilled setter brought out the potential of their spikers by sending them the best tosses. This piqued his interest in becoming a setter. At first, Osamu was picked as the setter due to being more skilled. However, according to Aran, Atsumu is said to have an irrepressible hunger as he pushes himself to improve. Eventually, Atsumu overtook Osamu as the official setter of the team.

Atsumu often got into conflicts with his teammates during junior high, especially when they failed to perform to his expectations. As a result, he was detested among his teammates. When asked about it, Atsumu revealed that he couldn't care less about being hated.

It is known that he and Osamu went to nationals in their first year of junior high and played against Yurisei in their third.

Relationships —> Atsumu and Osamu have a typical sibling relationship. Between the twins, Atsumu is the one usually taking the initiative with Osamu following along. However, whenever Atsumu steps out of line, Osamu is not afraid to use physical force to teach him a lesson. Despite being quick to quarrel and fight, they don't stay angry for long and quickly reconcile over playing a soccer game. The twins have been interested in volleyball together since elementary school. The two are each other's biggest rivals and pushes each other to improve due to their dislike for losing. On the court, they have perfect chemistry and can perform a God-Like Quick without prior practice. Post-timeskip Atsumu often seeks Osamu's support when struggling with something volleyball related and later on the National team he wore Osamu's previous number 11.

Atsumu first met Aran when they were in grade school during a volleyball camp. Atsumu and Osamu had right away taken an interest in Aran due to his height and foreign sounding name which caused the twin brothers to make up new names for themselves. Playing together on the volleyball team, Atsumu shows to have total trust in Aran's abilities as the ace as he will set to him without hesitation; even though it sometimes catches Aran by surprise. Atsumu also believes that Aran always has the perfect comebacks to jokes he makes, and he later admits to missing this once they joined separate teams in the V-League. Atsumu is also shown to be on the receiving end of Aran's occasional scolding, such as when he is taunting Osamu for hitting a serve out during the game against Karasuno and later on a broadcast during the Olympic game against Argentina.

Atsumu is shown to get along with and work well with his teammates. As he has done for everyone he has played with, Atsumu does his best to provide the best sets possible. Atsumu can be seen occasionally poking fun at his teammates but also shows respect to those older than him.

Kiyoomi Sakusa: Atsumu is shown to have a rather interesting relationship with Sakusa. They both tend to insult each other while talking, with Atsumu giving Sakusa rather interesting compliments like calling Sakusa's spike "gross" and calling him a "prickly sea urchin". It is also shown that the two have a serving competition.

Kōtarō Bokuto: When Bokuto first became part of the team, Atsumu made it clear right away that he expected Bokuto to perform in top shape at all times as he would not coddle the ace like others had. The setter is seen being delighted at having the ace to use when needed and relishes in seeing Bokuto succeed from his sets.

Atsumu first took notice of Hinata when he went to observe Karasuno's match against Tsubakihara. Atsumu didn't think highly of Hinata at first and indirectly referred to Hinata as "people who are real crap at the game". However, Atsumu's opinion changed during their match after realizing Hinata's potential as a player and his "trust" as a spiker to his setter. At the end of the match, Atsumu called out to Hinata declaring that someday he will toss to Hinata. Later, the two would become teammates in MSBY Black Jackals, thus fulfilling his earlier promise and becoming an incredibly powerful duo.

Well even after such a messy break up, you two can’t escape each other. You play for the same volleyball team….
