Family / Father, Mother, Younger Sister Details / Originally from Aichi Prefecture, he entered Inarizaki High School after being scouted. Because of this, he is the only member of Inarizaki who speaks standard Japanese. However, his intonation is slightly influenced by the Kansai dialect. Captain Shinsuke Kita describes him as someone who "starts slacking off when the point gap widens or victory is in sight," and he's a bit of a slacker who looks for shortcuts during roadwork—a slow starter. He generally has a downer, composed atmosphere. However, he isn't completely lethargic; during matches, he remains calm but plays quite aggressively and fearlessly. While he doesn't show much expression during games and can seem somewhat cold, he laughed with a very unique "Oh-ho-ho" when he saw Omimi pull off a perfect block, and he'll offer a casual "Don't mind" to Osamu when he's playing poorly. Outside the court, he laughs normally and engages in light banter or mischief. He also seems to enjoy taking photos and videos with his smartphone. He possesses a powerful core, which is his weapon for widening his range of attack. While other spikers primarily use their shoulders and arms to change the course of their hits, he uses his strong core to manipulate his entire upper body, creating a range that blockers cannot easily track. (At the moment of impact, he can shift by as much as a full torso's width, making it impossible for a single blocker to keep up.) Furthermore, because the movement originates from his entire torso, the power of the spike doesn't drop even when he changes direction instantaneously. Due to his position, he mainly focuses on quick attacks, and his sudden turn-shots can even deceive the opponent's receivers. As a result, opposing blockers often find themselves being manipulated by him while they are desperately trying to stop him.
