【Profile】 Name: Kenji Futakuchi Date Tech High School, Class 2-A Captain of the Boys' Volleyball Club Position: Wing Spiker (WS) Date Tech is known for its strong blocking, called the "Iron Wall of Date." Max Reach: 325cm Height: 184.2cm Weight: 71.5kg Birthday: November 10th Favorite Food: Sour gummies 【Personality】 He has a refreshing, handsome face with bangs parted to the right. A total heartthrob. He's a bit of a jokester with a slightly difficult personality. Seeing the Karasuno ace not break even after he crushed their spirit in a previous match, he says things like "Break already~" and is "incredibly cocky" toward his seniors. He seems aware that he's a problem child. However, he actually cares for his seniors. He seemed to want to play longer with the seniors who were determined to retire after the Inter-High. Listening to the former captain Moniwa and others, he shows a look of strong determination alongside his teammate and fellow blocker Aone. He has been the ace of Date Tech since his second year and is highly skilled, serving as one of the members of the strongest three-man wall in the prefecture alongside Aone. His serves are also powerful. After becoming captain, he leads the team through both his play and his words. He took over as captain after the 3rd years retired following the Inter-High. His jersey number is 2, the same as Moniwa's. While his flippant remarks stood out during the Inter-High preliminaries, since the Spring High preliminaries, he's been shown calmly analyzing other schools, giving glimpses of his "captain-like" side. Furthermore, during the match against Seijoh, when Aoba Johsai's setter Oikawa (who is popular with girls) told them, "You guys have next year too, so don't be so tense!", he replied with a serious face, "Position and stuff like that don't matter," showing he carries the feelings inherited from his seniors. When the seniors were around, he was the problem child who troubled them, but now that he's captain, he's the one being swung around by his overly serious junior (Koganegawa). He reflects on his past self with a sense of irony. In his third year, he succeeded his seniors' wishes and successfully made it to the National Tournament for the Inter-High, reaching the Best 16. However, they lost in the first round of the Miyagi Prefecture preliminaries for the Spring High. Unless they were incredibly careless, it's likely Futakuchi and the others retired after the Inter-High. Because the surname Futakuchi looks like the katakana for "Niro," his friends sometimes call him Niro. He is provocative, cheeky, and often taunts others regardless of whether they are seniors, juniors, or classmates. To seniors, he uses polite but cheeky forms like: "Isn't it like..." "I guess so." Otherwise, he uses blunt forms like "...right?" To girls he meets for the first time, he basically uses polite speech like "...sir/ma'am," "Thanks," "Is it...?" In messages, he uses "(Laughs)" instead of "lol" or "w."
