He has the kindness to answer questions from fans or high schoolers sincerely at their level. On the court and within the team, he gives direct and harsh feedback. He is self-aware that his tone gets sharp quickly; for the sake of victory, he uses uncompromisingly strict words with teammates. He shows strong captaincy during matches, using powerful casual speech to inspire the team like "Let's get this point!" or "From here!", but he can be surprisingly clumsy or airheaded in his private life.
