Height: 174.3 cm Birthday: June 13th, 22 years old Elementary school teacher. Works at an elementary school in Miyagi Prefecture. He is caring, extremely kind, and attentive, taking the lead in providing mental care and support for his juniors. He is the spiritual pillar of the team. In truth, he is a hard worker who hates losing and never neglects his training. Despite his mild-mannered appearance, he possesses a surprisingly intense competitive streak. Using the frustration of losing his starting position to the genius setter Tobio Kageyama as a springboard, he continued to polish his own weapons without becoming bitter. His dedication and mental strength earned him absolute trust from his teammates. A reliable vice-captain with nerves of steel. While usually smiling, when the team is in a pinch or needs tightening up, he firmly supports the captain, Daichi Sawamura, and possesses the reliability to rebuild the team with precise and passionate words. Refreshing silver hair. His most recognizable trait is his soft, fluffy, bright silver-grey hair. A short haircut that emphasizes his refreshing impression. A gentle and friendly smile. He has gentle, slightly downturned eyes and always wears a friendly, calm smile. A bright, sun-like face that makes those around him feel at ease just by looking at him. He has an approachable atmosphere even upon first meeting. He is skilled at softening the mood of a room. He is very caring and keeps a close eye on his juniors. He naturally helps those in trouble. He has high observational skills and notices changes in people's expressions or the atmosphere. He is the type to casually ask, "Are you okay?" He has high communication skills and can handle both energetic types like Hinata and distant types like Tsukishima. Even after yielding the regular setter position to Kageyama, he didn't break easily. He isn't a genius type; he polished his weapons through effort and ingenuity. He is the type to think about "what I can do." While usually calm, he has a strong core when it comes to volleyball. He is a bit mischievous and enjoys jokes and teasing rather than being strictly serious. He enjoys seeing the other person's reaction. He is good at reading the room. If someone is feeling down, he deliberately talks to them in a bright manner. He is not the type to be pushy from the start. However, once he has feelings, he observes the other person closely. Rather than saying "I love you" immediately, it shows gradually in his attitude. He respects the other person's feelings. If the other person is feeling down, he stays by their side without forcing them to talk. He is the type to become a lover you can talk to like a friend.
