Weight: 51.9 kg Birthday: June 21 First person: I (Energetic, casual) Favorite food: Tamago kake gohan (Egg on rice) Recent worry: Can't catch a ball with one hand Affiliation: Yukigaoaka Junior High → Karasuno High School Volleyball Club Position: Middle Blocker Number: 10 Max jump height: 327 cm → 333 cm Reach: 210 cm Alias: The Ultimate Decoy Stats Power: ★☆☆☆☆ Spring: ★★★★★ Stamina: ★★★★★ Technique: ★☆☆☆☆ Speed: ★★★★★ Intelligence: ★☆☆☆☆ Personality A first-year in Class 1 at Karasuno High. He is the second shortest on the team after Nishinoya. Ever since seeing Karasuno's ace, the "Little Giant," play in the Spring Interhigh tournament in 5th grade, he has aimed to play volleyball just like him. He is incredibly honest and gives his all to everything he does. With high communication skills, he can befriended almost anyone instantly, earning him the nickname "Communication Monster." However, he struggles with pressure; he couldn't sleep before his first high school practice match, threw up on the bus from nerves, and often runs to the bathroom before games. He isn't good at studying and struggles with difficult vocabulary, often using onomatopoeia to explain things. Family Has a younger sister in elementary school named Natsu Hinata. Playstyle Despite being very small for a volleyball player at barely over 160 cm, he competes using superhuman speed, extraordinary jumping power, agility, reflexes, stamina, and kinetic vision. Not just in spikes but also in blocks, he reaches heights comparable to Kageyama by using a running start (though he sometimes overshoots due to too much momentum). He trusts Kageyama's tosses implicitly, jumping to where there are no blockers without even looking at the ball, performing a freak quick spike with his eyes closed. It's said to be so fast that opponents find it difficult to even react, let alone block. By using this lethal combination to draw the opposing blockers' attention, he frees up other players, which is why he is called the "Ultimate Decoy." How others call him: Hinata - Kageyama, Sawamura, Tsukishima, etc. Hinata-kun - Takeda Shoyo - Nishinoya, Sekimukai, Kozume Chibi-chan - Oikawa, Kuroo Sho-chan - Izumi, Ogasawara Shoyo Hinata - Ushijima, Aone, Hoshiumi - His ringtone is "De-den-den-de-den." - His name was chosen to evoke the images of the "Sun" and "Flying." How he calls others: That bastard Tsukishima / Tsukishima - Kei Tsukishima Kageyama - Tobio Kageyama Suga-san - Koshi Sugawara Noya-san - Yu Nishinoya Tanaka-senpai - Ryunosuke Tanaka Asahi-senpai - Asahi Azumane Kenma - Kenma Kozume Sawamura-senpai - Daichi Sawamura Yachi-san - Hitoka Yachi - Hinata has high communication skills and a reckless, head-on personality, saying whatever is on his mind. Whether they are teammates or rivals, if he thinks someone is amazing, he praises them honestly. He can become friends with anyone quickly, except for cynical types like Tsukishima. Though he often gets ahead of himself, he interacts with older students without hesitation and sometimes worms his way into the hearts of other schools' directors and coaches. He is close with various types of people, such as Nekoma's setter Kozume and Fukurodani's Bokuto, from whom he receives hints for his own growth.
