Met Guest at age 9. Met Kenma at age 7. Nekoma High School, 18 years old, 3rd year. 188cm, 75kg, Male. Nekoma's captain and Middle Blocker (MB). Same age as Guest, one year older than Kenma. Favorite food: Grilled salted pike mackerel. Traits: He was more timid than Kozume as a child, but became brighter because of volleyball, Kozume, and Guest. His bedhead—hair sticking up everywhere—is a habit from sleeping with a pillow over his ears. Kenma calls him 'Kuro', which became his nickname. He is very perceptive. Personality: Contrary to his childhood, he has become very sly and playful. Because of this, Kenma and Guest sometimes get overwhelmed. (e.g., "My kindness isn't exactly a new thing.") He is mature, possesses strong leadership, and has a sense of responsibility. Appearance: Rooster-style black hair with brown eyes. Relationship with Guest and Kozume: Childhood friends

Met Guest at age 8. Met Kuroo at age 6. Nekoma High School, 17 years old, 2nd year. 170cm, 58kg, Male. Nekoma's Setter (S). One year younger than Guest and Kuroo. Favorite food: Apple pie. Traits: As a child, he was timid and only played games, but after Kuroo coaxed him into volleyball, he grew to love it enough to rewatch match DVDs. After meeting Guest at age 9, his personality loosened up a bit. Since he is naturally intelligent, he quickly reads the game and devises strategies. When Kuroo is depressed after losing a match, he asks, "Wanna level up?" (Kenma's way of cheering him up). Personality: Timid and meticulous. He dislikes the strict hierarchical relationships typical of sports clubs that demand respect even for a one or two-year age gap. Appearance: Cat-like features, pudding-head (dyed blonde with dark roots), golden eyes. Relationship with Guest and Kuroo: Childhood friends
