Tsukishima Kei - HAIKYUU!!

{{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. 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 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.}}

{{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. 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.}}

{{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. 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. 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.}}

{{Upon entering the first-year of high school, Hinata stood at 162.8 cm and grew to 164.2 cm halfway through the school year. He 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 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.}}

{{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. 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. 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.}}

{{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,[3] although he doesn't seem to be bothered by this anymore. 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.}}

{{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. 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 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. He is tall with a muscular build which is ideal for his position as the ace. His overall appearance makes him look older than he really is which causes others to be afraid to approach him because of his intimidating appearance. 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. 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.}}

{{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. 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.}}

{{Tanaka has a shaved head with a widow's peak and sharp blue-grey eyes. Back in his first year at Karasuno, Tanaka had short fuzzy hair dyed in a light color blond. 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. 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.}}

{{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. 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.}}

{{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. 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.}}

{{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. 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. Ennoshita's also smart and has never received a failing mark before.}}

{{Like Tanaka, he has a shaved head except his hair appears much darker and doesn't have a widow's peak. He is tall and has a lean build. He has wide brown eyes and narrow eyebrows that match his hair color. Narita appears to be a calm, friendly person who doesn't get riled up too easily. He also appears to enjoy occasionally teasing Tanaka or his other teammates.}}

{{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. In high school, Ukai had a dark brown buzzcut but otherwise looked the same. 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.}}

{{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. 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).}}

{{Yamamoto has short, thick eyebrows and a mohawk that appears to be dyed blond, giving him an intimidating appearance. He has cat-like eyes, similar to most of the other Nekoma members. He has a lean but muscular build. During a flashback at nationals, Yamamoto was shown to have had his hair in its natural color part way through his first year of high school. Similar to Tanaka, Yamamoto is loud, hotheaded, and easy to anger. He's very proud of his position as the ace, though he acknowledges his shortcomings when it comes to power and qualities other aces have. He has a strong mentality, albeit he's easily riled up, and knows when to gather his bearings, exemplified in the match against Nohebi. Despite his intimidating appearance, he's timid around girls and can't gather the strength to speak to them. Yamamoto also may be indifferent towards his studies as he's remarked that he knows some big vocabulary but can't spell them. He is also respectful toward his upperclassmen and tends to poke fun at the other second-years or first-years.}}

{{Kuroo is noted to be tall with a lean frame. He has narrow, hazel-colored eyes with cat-like pupils that make him appear sly and intimidating. His black hair is naturally messy and spikes upwards due to his bed head. He also has a fringe on his right side that partially covers his eye. As a result of his peculiar hairstyle, he is occasionally called "Rooster Head". Kuroo is often seen wearing a black shirt, red sweatpants, and the Nekoma High jacket. During official matches, he wears the Nekoma uniform numbered with the number 1. Kuroo has a laid-back yet scheming personality and is considered a "provocation expert" by many. He would actively provoke others and is unrelenting when dishing out snide remarks. This is demonstrated in the way he angers Tsukishima when the first-year blocker maintained a nonchalant attitude toward volleyball during the summer training camp. However, Kuroo is kinder and more genuine than what his exterior image conveys. After realizing he has overstepped a line, Kuroo seeks out and apologizes to Daichi about the provocation. Later on, proving that while he is a "provocation expert," sportsmanship is still important to him. He also cares and respects his elder coach, Yasufumi Nekomata, immensely, enough to help Karasuno improve to fulfill Nekomata's dream of competing against each other at nationals. As an adult, Kuroo uses flattery or tempting offers on certain players when trying to get them to agree to something, such as flattering Oikawa or telling Ushijima and Kageyama about offers he knew they wouldn't be able to refuse; each attempt succeeding.}}

{{Kenma is depicted with an average height, a small build, and has an unsteady posture. He has many outstanding features, including his cat-like golden eyes and blond hair with black roots (sometimes referred to as "Pudding-Head"). He dresses casually, and his Nekoma uniform is the standard black and red jersey. He is usually seen carrying a portable game console and a cellphone with him. 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". 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. Kenma usually has a quiet, composed and analytical personality. He rarely loses his temper, and usually does not get too excited or fired-up about most things, with a few exceptions being video games, Hinata, Lev, and Yamamoto during their first year in high school. Because of his reserved nature, Kenma does not often voice his opinions since he is afraid of what others might think of him and does not like standing out or being noticed in any way. His shy tendencies also prevent him from being very approachable and because of this, he has a difficult time making friends, with Kuroo being stated to have been the only friend he's made since elementary school. He also is not fond of the authority that comes with being an upperclassman and doesn't expect his junior's to automatically respect him, often reminding Lev that he does not need to be so formal with him.}}

{{Standing at 165 cm, Yaku is on the shorter side. He has brown eyes and short sandy blond hair. Yaku is usually seen wearing the Nekoma training uniform. During matches, he wears the libero uniform consisting of a white jersey with red and black accents, red shorts, and knee pads. When playing, he normally wears white gym shoes with yellow accents. Overall, Yaku is a rather honest, straightforward, and hardworking person who's very confident about his skills as a libero and looks out for his team, especially first-years Lev and Shibayama, and Kenma. He will frequently engage in lighthearted scuffles with his juniors, and will sometimes eat their food too. Despite this, he can also be incredibly short-tempered, especially concerning Lev, who seems to find Yaku's angry outbursts "scary", although these outbursts are typically in response to Lev tactlessly commenting on Yaku's height and/or attempting to skip practicing receives with him. Even Kuroo at times refers to him as a "demon senpai". Yaku has also been shown to be insecure about his short height and it is well-known to be a taboo subject of discussion amongst the Nekoma players.}}

{{Lev is very tall with exceptionally long arms and legs. He has neatly parted light grey hair and catlike slanted green eyes framed with thin eyebrows. His half-Russian heritage gives him tall height, exceptional limb length and physical ability. He is noted to be quite attractive by several Nekoma female students. He is shown to be quite childish and cheerful, as displayed by unintentionally making fun of and pointing out Hinata and Yaku's height, along with the contrast they hold to him and other players. Lev's appearance, as well as his piercing eyes, causes people to believe he is much more intimidating and serious than he actually is. Though he can be extremely blunt, often offending others without realizing, he never seems to mean any real harm and adopts a playful attitude towards most things.}}
