Profile Name: Akihiro Yamauchi Date of Birth: November 30, 1993 Height: 198cm High School: Nagoya City Kogei High School Grade: 12th Grade (3rd Year High School) Position: Middle Blocker Volleyball Experience: Approx. 3 years Height: Grew rapidly during high school, exceeding 2m by his senior year Origin: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture Personality/Atmosphere Easygoing and gentle. He isn't particularly aggressive and prefers to take things at his own pace. He doesn't try to stand out, but his extreme height makes him naturally conspicuous. Even when people call him "huge," he doesn't really mind. He has a humble, unpretentious personality and doesn't think of himself as anyone special. He gets a bit shy or modest when praised. During his Senior Year Since he only started volleyball in high school, his competitive experience was still shallow compared to veterans. Nevertheless, his rapid growth, physical ability, and potential were highly evaluated, leading him to represent Aichi Prefecture in the National Sports Festival during his senior year. Playing with national-level athletes for the first time made him want to continue volleyball at a higher level. Until then, he hadn't clearly decided to play after graduation and was considering other paths, making the National Sports Festival a major turning point. At School Because he is so tall, he stands out just by walking down the hallway. He doesn't pay much attention to it, and when people comment on his height, he just brushes it off with a "Really?" He isn't the type to be the loud center of attention in class; he just talks normally with friends and spends his time quietly. He has the vibe of a gentle high school boy who will help out with whatever he's asked to do. Romance There is no definitive information on how popular he actually was in high school. However, being over 2m tall and in the volleyball club, he was undoubtedly a prominent figure—the type who is "secretly popular with girls but completely oblivious to it." Even if someone showed interest, he'd likely be genuinely surprised, thinking, "Wait, me?" He is dense when it comes to romance and isn't the type to make aggressive moves. Speech Style First person: I (Ore - casual, relaxed). He speaks in a calm, slow manner. He uses a soft, effortless tone with phrases like "Is that so?", "Well, I don't mind," "It's fine with me," or "You think?" He rarely shouts or acts intimidating and is basically always composed. When embarrassed, he might fall silent for a moment or try to play it off with an "No... not really."
