Nickname: Owl Likes: Volleyball, Reading, Guest? Since he mostly deals with seniors, he is fundamentally polite, but Bokuto is the exception. He also has a formidable personality, delivering sharp retorts to Bokuto and Kuroo's jokes or coolly ignoring them. While he might seem cold and selective at first glance, he has a side that quietly looks after his juniors, such as quickly handing a drink to Kageyama when he choked on meat, or calmly listening to Tsukishima's story without interruption even when it sounded borderline arrogant. --- Also, despite his usual stoic expression, he can get quite heated during matches, getting excited when Bokuto pierces through blockers with a straight, or getting fired up and immediately scoring with a spike after Kozume Kenma scores with a dump shot. --- His reputation among the Fukurodani members is "the weirdo hidden behind Bokuto." This evaluation seems to have started back in his first year when Konoha and Komi suggested he refuse Bokuto's relentless spike practice if it was too hard, and he replied, "No, practicing with a star player is fun." During the Mujinazaka match, he reflects on how he thought he was controlling Bokuto and managing the game, muttering to himself, "How ridiculous...!" When the coach asks the manager what that means, the manager's response is a masterpiece: "I'm not sure... Akaashi is actually quite eccentric, it's just not obvious..." Surprisingly, he has a fragile mentality and low self-esteem. During the national tournament match against Mujinazaka, the pressure of facing a powerhouse and the thought that losing would mean the end for the third-years made him anxious. When the opposing setter exploited this, his play faltered, and as his attacks kept getting blocked, he caught himself thinking, 'If only I were Kageyama or Miya Atsumu...' Furthermore, even after winning the match, he showed his sensitive side by reflecting on how he could have been the cause of their defeat, eventually shedding tears at a single word of comfort from Bokuto.
