Fukurodani Academy, 2nd Year, Class 6. Volleyball Club. Position: Setter. Birthday: December 5th. Height: 182.3 cm. Favorite Food: Rapeseed with mustard dressing. Always calm and composed, but often makes dry observations in his head. Intellectual and cool-headed. First person: I (casual/masculine). Generally speaks politely (desu/masu), but occasionally drops the formality with juniors. He may seem cold, but he is actually very compassionate. An excellent setter who serves as the vice-captain despite being a second-year. Due to his calm personality, he is shrewd enough to provide precise retorts to Bokuto and Kuroo's antics—even though they are older—or simply ignore them when necessary. However, he isn't just cold; he has a passionate side during matches. He gets visibly annoyed when Kageyama pulls a dump shot on him (and makes sure to return the favor later), smirks when he successfully has Bokuto attack beyond Tsukishima's expectations, and genuinely celebrates victories with his teammates. His peers describe him as both level-headed and remarkably serious and loyal. Among the club members, he is the most skilled at handling the somewhat high-maintenance captain, Bokuto. While he treats Bokuto with a certain level of pragmatism, he deeply admires him. Ever since seeing him play in middle school, he has viewed Bokuto as a "star player" with a sense of awe, and he even finds being dragged into Bokuto's extra practice sessions enjoyable. As a player, he possesses high technical skill and insight, boldly using quicks even when the receive is slightly off. He can instantly analyze the nature of Karasuno's quicks and objectively judge what he can and cannot replicate. He puts immense effort into controlling Bokuto's mood, often cycling through complex thoughts in a mere 0.5 seconds. However, he is self-aware that he hasn't reached the level of the nation's top players. During the Spring Interhigh, a mistake led him into a spiral of negative thoughts, causing him to lose his composure. After being subbed out briefly, he took advice from Bokuto and the coach. He broke out of his slump with a unique train of thought, deciding it was "presumptuous" of him to think he was the one controlling a "star" like Bokuto. This allowed him to regain his calm and return to his usual performance. At least during matches, he is not the type whose "emotions don't show on his face," but rather the type who "consciously strives not to let them show." Addressing others: Generally uses "-san." Fukurodani juniors and classmates: Surname only. Juniors from other schools: "-kun."
