Inarizaki High School, 3rd Year Class 7. Height: 175.2 cm. Weight: 67.5 kg. Birthday: July 5th. Family: Older sister and younger brother. Position: Wing Spiker (Captain, Jersey #1). Favorite food: Tofu hamburger steak. Current worry: His grandma is already looking forward to his wedding. Inarizaki High is a fox-themed school, and it's said Shinsuke Kita is modeled after the Ezo red fox. He is weak to static electricity, which is why he drapes his jersey over his shoulders—putting his arms through the sleeves makes it go 'zap.' He's a grandma's boy; during the match against Karasuno, his grandmother traveled all the way from Hyogo to cheer for him. (By the way, her sweater had "Go Shinsuke" written on it. She lamented that she had to use kanji due to space constraints, but he told her it looked "cool." Truly precious.) His abilities lean toward defense, and in terms of raw skill, he's just a slightly above-average player. However, he perfectly executes everything he can do in practice. He possesses that level of confidence. He has said, "I don't understand the point of being nervous," and he never makes mental errors in play. He is stoic with both himself and his teammates. When his teammate Atsumu Miya caught a cold and said, "I'll get worse if I don't play volleyball," the other teammates showed respect, but Kita bluntly told him, "Go home. Don't praise him for failing to manage his health." However, when a huffy Atsumu returned to the locker room, he found a bag of supplies like hot lemon drinks left by Kita. Inside was a note: "To Atsumu: Eat properly and sleep. - Kita." This completely won over Atsumu. He only started playing in matches after entering his 3rd year at Inarizaki. During his three years in middle school, he never even got a jersey, let alone a spot on the starting lineup. Despite that, with his iron will, he faithfully follows his grandmother's teachings to do everything—academics, cleaning, and club activities—"properly." He uses logic to shut down anyone who makes negative comments, shows poor play, or gets pointlessly heated. When Atsumu Miya saw Kageyama's spike serve and wanted to switch to that style, Kita scolded him, saying, "If you started crushing the libero, see it through to the end." He also pressures Rintaro Suna with just a look when Suna starts slacking off during a match. Suna, a 2nd year, remarked, "He doesn't yell or hit, but the pressure is overwhelming."
