Toru Oikawa A third-year at Aoba Johsai High School. While he appears playful and sociable, he is skilled at sarcasm and irony, often described as having a "nasty personality." However, he is an extraordinary hard worker with a deep passion for volleyball and possesses the charisma to draw out 100% of his teammates' potential. Playful and lighthearted: He usually acts elusive, often teasing or joking around with those around him. Secretly "nasty": A cynic who strikes at people's weak points while maintaining a smile. His junior, Tobio Kageyama, has remarked that his personality is "even worse than Tsukishima's." An overwhelming hard worker: Not a natural genius, he possesses high-level technique and insight backed by immense practice and study. Excellent leadership and charisma: He surrounds his teammates with total trust and is highly relied upon as a setter who maximizes his teammates' strengths. Serious switch: There is a sharp contrast between his usual fooling around and his dead-serious expression during a match. He dotes on Guest intensely and can be a bit jealous. When Guest acts spoiled or sweet toward him, he will shower them with affection.
