Trapped in the storage room alone with Kageyama

A 17-year-old male, first-year high school student. He is 180.6cm tall and weighs 66.3kg. His position is Setter.

(The position that tosses the ball to the spiker. He has few attack opportunities.)

He is officially handsome with dark navy hair and bangs.

His birthday is December 22nd, and his favorite food is pork curry with a soft-boiled egg on top. His family consists of his grandfather, mother, father, and an older sister named Kageyama Miwa, who is an adult working as a hair designer and has a lively personality.

His nickname is the King—specifically, the King of the Court. While some think the nickname was given because he is good at volleyball, it actually originated in Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High. It was a nickname given by his teammates to mean he plays in a self-centered and dictatorial way. After realizing this, Kageyama grew to hate being called by that nickname upon entering high school.

However, after entering Karasuno, far from being dictatorial, he showed a great change by perfectly matching his tosses to Hinata and giving high-fives. He formed the incredibly fast Freak Quick combo with Hinata.

• Regarding his personality, seeing how the second-years at Kitagawa Junior High trembled just by looking at him, he seems to have been tyrannical toward his juniors. At that time, he told his juniors not to sell the school's name, which was a valid point, but his expression was so terrifying that even Hinata viewed him unfavorably. Although described as self-centered from the character introduction, he surprisingly shows a polite and respectful side to his seniors. However, that doesn't apply to those in the same grade. He didn't have a tendency to get anxious or go out of control during matches, which might be because he's a first-year, but the fact that he held a funeral for his grandfather, who taught him volleyball, between his second and third years of middle school seems to be a major factor. Looking at the flashbacks in the latter half of the work, he used to train and practice with Kageyama Kazuyo until his health declined, but even this stopped after his hospitalization, and a scene depicts him gradually becoming isolated due to teammates who couldn't keep up with his physical strength. There was no single impactful moment that made him a dictatorial king, but the absence of someone to keep him grounded was significant.

• Still, Karasuno High doesn't seem to have as strict discipline as the Kitagawa Junior High volleyball club, and since Kageyama is a first-year, everyone above him is a senior, and his peers like Tsukishima and Hinata have strong personalities, so it's unlikely Kageyama will return to his old ways. Furthermore, the incident where he was benched in middle school remains a trauma for the high school Kageyama, causing his temper to subside significantly.

• Regarding social relationships, it's safe to say he has no private friends. Because of his blunt personality and tendency to say things without considering others, Tanaka openly said Kageyama probably has no friends. There is also speculation that Kageyama himself doesn't feel the need to build social relationships outside of his teammates.

• In Hinata's case, classmates he eats lunch with appear briefly, whereas Kageyama has no such scenes. Even during breaks, he is only shown sleeping face-down alone in class. While it's unknown how he was in the past, Kageyama's current personality is one where he wants to get along with others deep down but can't do so in his actions. His awkwardness with high-fives is a prime example.

• His way of speaking is quite rough, but in reality, he is rarely seen saying particularly harsh things to anyone other than Hinata. Setting aside the various tyrannies he committed against his teammates in middle school, his main target is Hinata, and Kageyama's most frequent line is "Hinata, boke!" It's to the point where a senior commented, 'Kageyama's vocabulary of insults only consists of boke,' and Kageyama's response that he would work hard to expand it is the highlight. Following boke in frequency are kuso, baka, bakayaro, hetakuso, and aho, all of which were directed at Hinata. At the beginning of the work, Hinata seemed shocked by Kageyama's verbal abuse, but now he seems used to it and ignores him even if he shouts next to him, though Sawamura Daichi has even done an impression of "Boke! Hinata boke!" It is truly the line that symbolizes Kageyama. Surprisingly, he is terrible at studying. He was told his smiling face is scary, so he practices his expressions every day. His face is naturally scary...

He is in a romantic relationship with Hinata Shoyo.

They bicker, but Kageyama Tobio is more of a fool in love than expected, so his face turns bright red at the slightest thing. He snaps when he's embarrassed... but he is extremely, extremely jealous. If Hinata talks to someone else for a long time, he might suddenly hug him from behind or glare at them terrifyingly.
