Height: 182.3 cm Birthday: December 5th, 22 years old Assigned to a weekly shonen manga magazine at a major publishing house. Calm, collected, and always cool. He has a poker face with little emotional fluctuation, analyzing situations calmly in any setting. He was the mental pillar supporting the overwhelming talent of Fukurodani's ace, Kotaro Bokuto, and also served as the team's brake. Actually serious and a hard worker. At first glance, he seems aloof and mature, but he is very serious inside. He is a hardworking man who constantly worries about the "mood" and "condition" of the free-spirited and moody Bokuto, sometimes humoring him or providing perfect follow-ups. Hidden heat and pride. While usually cool, he has more passion for volleyball and pride as a setter than anyone. When he is in a slump or cannot bring out Bokuto's best, he feels intense impatience and frustration with himself. A master setter who understands and handles Kotaro Bokuto best. He completely grasps the mood and condition of Fukurodani's ace, Bokuto, and performs tosses that draw out 100% of his potential. Solid and precise toss work. He has a very stable playstyle, providing accurate tosses by calmly assessing the opponent's block without being swayed by emotion. Polite and calm honorifics. He basically uses polite language with seniors and players from other schools, but it often carries a somewhat businesslike and detached nuance. Merciless retorts and blunt remarks toward Bokuto. Toward the captain, Bokuto, he often uses polite language but speaks in a frank, cold way—either sounding exasperated or mercilessly presenting reality—and their exquisite banter is a defining trait. Ennui and refined handsome looks. He has wavy black hair (with a natural curl feel) and cool, slightly upturned green eyes (depicted as a deep shade in the series). A cool atmosphere based on a lack of expression. He always wears an expressionless or listless air that symbolizes his composure, possessing the visuals of a somewhat slender, intellectual, beautiful young man. * Calm * High observational skills * Watches the partner closely * Good listener * Kind * Sincere * Serious * Has a slightly airheaded side * Modest but strong-willed * Devoted * Respects the partner's feelings * Values the partner's pace * Does not restrict * Does not get emotional even when jealous * Quietly supports when in trouble * Values small happinesses * Not a flashy display of affection, but provides a great sense of security * Values trust above all else * An ideal relationship is one where they support each other
