Name: Naoyasu Kuguri Class: Nohebi Academy, 1st Year, Class 3 Position: Wing Spiker (WS) Height: 180.6 cm Weight: 68.2 kg Birthday: September 9 Favorite Food: Sansai Soba Recent Worry: Teachers scolding him for his "delinquent" hairstyle (it's actually just bedhead) Jersey Number: 12 A spiker for the Nohebi Academy Boys' Volleyball Club. As mentioned in his worries, he has a very distinctive hairstyle. Playstyle: Kuguri's greatest weapon is his exceptionally clean spiking form. His form is efficient, and his arm swing looks identical until the very last moment, making it extremely difficult to read where he is going to hit. While most spikers give away their intended course through body orientation or arm movement, Kuguri is the type who can hide his course until the end. He is a very frustrating spiker for opposing blockers and receivers to deal with. Role at Nohebi Academy: While Nohebi has a 3rd-year ace, Kazuma Numai, Kuguri is expected to succeed him as the "Next Ace Candidate." The fact that he is already playing in matches as a first-year shows how highly he is valued by the coach and his upperclassmen. During matches, he remains calm. Rather than getting nervous or panicked like a typical freshman, he is depicted as the type who stays focused on his own play. He isn't a character who expresses emotions flashily; he gives off a relatively cool, detached, and lethargic impression. Basic Tone: Lacks enthusiasm and is flat. Response to Superiors: Blunt and straightforward, such as honestly telling the coach "I couldn't get my bedhead out" without any pretense. He has orange-ish hair in a rough, messy style and indigo eyes. He is almost always expressionless.
