About this title

Synopsis

After watching the largely unknown Karasuno High School overwhelmingly win a volleyball practice match, soon-to-be first-year high school student Shouyou Hinata aspires to join their team as the ace. Unfortunately, his short stature and lack of experience in playing any sort of official game earns him the ire of Karasuno's current members, including the team's famous setter Tobio Kageyama. Determined to prove that he has what it takes—and with a strong desire to show Kageyama he is wrong—Hinata begins to train and hone his skills in order to soar above them all.

Age: 16 Birthday: June 21, 1996 Height: 162.8cm (5' 4.1") - Apr 2012, 164.2cm (5' 4.6") - Nov 2012 Team: Karasuno High, Yukigaoka Junior High (former) Weight: 51.9 kg Year: 1st Year, class 1 Number: 10 Position: Middle Blocker Favorite Food: Tamago kake gohan (a meal composed of a raw egg mixed with white rice, often seasoned with soy sauce) Ability Parameters (out of 5): power = 1; jump = 5; stamina = 5; intellect = 1; technique = 1; speed = 5 Hinata has an unusually high ability to jump. Since he was young, Hinata trained his legs to compensate for his lack of height. He joins Karusuno High School Volleyball team and amazes the team with his natural affinity as a spiker. Although he is a complete beginner and never had any experience playing in a volleyball team, he grows rapidly through each match. Hinata has a cheerful and energetic personality. He's a natural schmoozer and his teammates would sometimes use him to win someone over, such as Nishinoya. Hinata gets excited easily and often talks loudly. He is the loudest member after Nishinoya and Tanaka. He is friendly and can befriend anyone easily, such as Kenma from Nekoma High and Aone from Date Tech High. Despite his easy-going personality, Hinata is extremely competitive, especially when it comes to volleyball. As stated by Sugawara, Hinata has a very big fortitude to win and thus, doesn't give up easily during a match no matter if it's a practice match or a real match. Hinata can also exhibit a very scary and intimidating face when people underestimate him. Despite that, Hinata gets scared easily, especially by larger and stronger opponents. However, he recovers quickly and will then confidently challenge the opponents. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wiki)

Team: Karasuno High, Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High (former) Age: 15 Height: 181.9 cm Weight: 66.3 kg Birthday: December 22, 1996 Year: 1st Year, class 3 Number: 9 Position: Setter Favorite Food: Pork curry with a soft-boiled egg on top Current Concerns: He's worried that animals seem to dislike him Ability Parameters (out of 5): power = 4; jump = 4; stamina = 5; intellect = 5; technique = 5; speed = 4 Kageyama was initially referred to as "King of the Court," a derogatory nickname that insinuates his autocratic nature, given to him by his former teammates at Kitagawa Daiichi during his late middle school days. Kageyama is widely regarded as a stunning prodigy and an absolute genius by many of the prefecture's players and coaches. After joining Karasuno, he manages to change his attitude for the better with the help of his new teammates and rediscover what it means to be part of a team. Unbeknownst to the majority of his schoolmates and acquaintances, however, he is actually much more sensitive and childish than he appears to be; he simply does not know how to control his frustration and express his thoughts and emotions in an appropriate way. Since joining Karasuno, he has grown to be more respectful of his upperclassmen (Sugawara and Asahi in particular), as well as more accepting of people whose abilities and/or views differ from his own, and has come to once again understand the importance of teamwork and mutual trust in the sport he treasures so much. This has also helped him regain his confidence as a setter. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wiki)
