Kiyoko Shimizu

Team: Karasuno High Age: 17 Height: 166.2 cm Weight: 51.4 kg Birthday: January 6 Year: 3rd Year, class 2 A mostly quiet girl in the beginning, she is shown to be serious and passionate about her position as team manager as when she along with the other third years were reluctant to step down from the club. She cares a lot about the members of the team, as shown when she washed and fixed up Karasuno's old banner from back when they were strong to increase the players' morale. Suga has stated that Kiyoko is not one to show her feelings often (fixing the banner is unusual for her) but after Yachi joins the team, Kiyoko opens up and shows a lot more emotions, smiling often and even cracking jokes to let Yachi ease up.

Tobio Kageyama

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!! Wikia)

Keishin Ukai

Team: Karasuno High Age: 26 Height: 178.2 cm Weight: 72.2 kg Birthday: April 5 Karasuno High School volleyball club's alumnus, currently coaching volleyball club and helping out his mother at the shop.

Asahi Azumane

Team: Karasuno High Age: 17 Height: 184.7 cm Weight: 75.2 kg Birthdate: January 1 Year: 3rd year, class 3 Number: 3 Position: Wing Spiker Favorite Food: Tonkotsu Ramen Ability Parameters (out of 5): Power = 5; jump = 3; stamina = 3; intellect = 3; technique = 3; speed = 2 In contrast to his appearance, he is rather quiet and gentle and has his difficulties realizing that he is Karasuno's ace as he initially doesn't feel that way. He shows to be weak-willed at the beginning when he leaves the team before the first years come, feeling that he let down his entire team when they lost against Date Tech High even though they counted on him. After coming back to Karasuno, he realizes that his will to play volleyball is much stronger than he thought and with the help of his teammates, he acknowledges his position as Karasuno's ace (even though he is still mocked sometimes by Daichi for not having any "ace-like presence") and gains self-confidence. Asahi is said to have a "Heart of Glass", taking everything that is said about him to heart and reacting depressed because of it at times. While he still feels insecure about a lot of things and seems to be quite a scaredy-cat, he clearly states that he has no intention of letting anyone take his ace position away from him in later chapters, showing his development from the beginning.

Ittetsu Takeda

Team: Karasuno High Age: 29 Height: 166.5 cm Weight: 59.4 kg Birthday: January 10 Volleyball club faculty advisor of the Karasuno High School.

Takeda has an enthusiastic and brave personality.

Tadashi Yamaguchi

Team: Karasuno High Age: 15 Height: 179.5 cm Weight: 63 kg Birthday: November 10 Year: 1st year, class 4 Number: 12 Position: Middle Blocker Favorite Food: French fries that have gone soft and floppy Current Concern: When he thinks a cute girl's come over to talk to him, all she'll ask about is Tsukki Yamaguchi is a pretty shy person who relies on others. Though he is generally a nice person, he tends to snicker along or join in with Tsukishima whenever he's mocking others. He is hardworking, as shown when he sought for extra training on his own, and how he continued practicing outside of the team after seeing how weak he was compared to his other teammates.

Team: Karasuno High Age: 17 Height: 176.8 cm Weight: 70.1 kg Birthday: December 31 Year: 3rd year, class 4 Number: 1 Position: Wing Spiker Favorite Food: Shoyu ramen Current Concerns: The frequency of his dream about the vice-principal's wig flying around Ability Parameters (out of 5): Power = 4; jump = 3; stamina = 3; intellect = 4; technique = 4; speed = 3 The captain of the Karasuno High volleyball club, Daichi is a very caring and concerned captain who makes sure that everyone is doing okay and always puts the team first.

Tetsurou Kuroo

Team: Nekoma High School Age: 17 Height: 187.7 cm Weight: 75.3 kg Birthday: November 17, 1994 Year: 3rd Year, class 5 Number: 1 Position: Middle Blocker Favorite Food: Grilled Salted Mackerel Pike Current concerns: He can't get rid of his bedhead hair Ability parameters (out of 5): Power = 3; jump = 2; stamina = 3; intellect = 4; technique = 4; speed = 4 The captain of the Nekoma High School volleyball club. Kuroo has a somewhat manipulative and cunning personality, but cares about his friends and teammates very deeply. As Nekoma's captain, he has a sense of responsibility and confidence. Even though Kuroo's a middle blocker, he often uses offensive plays too.

Kenma Kozume

Team: Nekoma High School Age: 16 Height: 169.2 cm Weight: 58.3 kg Birthday: October 16 Year: 2nd Year, class 3 Number: 5 Position: Setter Favorite food: Apple pie Current Concerns: Summer is hot and winter is cold Ability Parameters (out of 5): Power = 1; jump = 2; stamina = 2; intellect = 5; technique = 5; speed = 3 Kenma has a very relaxed and laid back personality. He hardly ever loses his cool, and he usually never gets excited about anything (with the exception of Hinata and video games). He is quiet and reserved and does not voice his opinions often since he is afraid of how others would think of them. He isn't the type who can make friends easily, and his only friend back when he was younger had been Tetsurou Kuroo. Despite his modest personality, Kenma is actually quite skilled in volleyball, with his extraordinary game sense and technique, which makes up for his power, speed, and stamina. (Source: Haikyuu!!

Koushi Sugawara

Team: Karasuno High Age: 17 Height: 174.3 cm (5'8") Weight: 63.5 kg (139lbs) Birthday: June 13 Year: 3rd year, class 4 Number: 2 Position: Setter Favorite Food: Super spicy mapo tofu Current Concerns: That there are a lot of kouhai taller than him Ability Parameters (out of 5): Power = 2; jump = 2; stamina = 2; intellect = 4; technique = 4; speed = 2 Being the vice captain, he has a soothing personality for his teammates and acts as a pillar of support for them. Even though he isn't Karasuno's official setter anymore, he doesn't dream of giving up on playing in general. As such, he encourages himself and all of his teammates not to give up, no matter how rough the situation might be. Sugawara's dedication to volleyball is clear when he decides to continue club activities even when most third years choose to retire to focus on their futures. In a meeting, his teacher asked Sugawara why he's so determined to continue playing even though he's not a starting member, and Sugawara replied that he doesn't want to have regrets in the future. He is also quite perceptive as he noticed how Tanaka asked for the key to the gym (back during the first years's 3-on-3 match) even though he always comes in late, so Sugawara knew that something was up. He is also intelligent as he can come up with helpful tactics during the game. An example of this is when he came up with the idea of saying "bring it" and "send it to me" for Kageyama and Hinata's combo. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wikia)

Tooru Oikawa

Team: Aoba Jousai High, Kitagawa Daiichi (former) Age: 17 Height: 184.3 cm Weight: 72.2 kg Birthday: July 20, 1994 Year: 3rd Year Number: 1 Position: Setter The captain and setter of the Aoba Jousai High School Volleyball Club. Oikawa was also Kageyama's senpai when they were attending Kitagawa Daiichi. According to Kageyama, he is a very talented setter and volleyball player with a bad personality. Oikawa also frequently makes cheerful remarks, but follows them up with serious or intimidating afterthoughts. Despite his flirtatious and blasé exterior, Oikawa is extremely intelligent and cunning, to the point of his own teammates stating they wouldn't want to be friends with him because he figures out everyone's weakness. He holds a grudge against Kageyama, whom he mockingly calls Tobio-chan. This is due to his feelings of inferiority when compared to Kageyama, who has been hailed as a genius setter since their time spent at Kitagawa Daiichi. Kageyama can unintentionally bring out the more childish or rash aspects of Oikawa's personality. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wikia)

Yuu Nishinoya

Team: Karasuno High, Chidoriyama Junior High (former) Age: 16 Birthday: October 10, 1995 Height: 159.3 cm (5' 2.7") - Apr 2012 160.5 cm (5' 3.2") - Nov 2012 Weight: 51.1 kg Year: 2nd year, Class 3 Number: 4 Position: Libero Favorite food: Gari Gari-kun popsicles Yuu is a very energetic and temperamental person. His boisterous nature and crazy shenanigans can attract unwanted attention quite easily, which often bodes ill for him. Although he hardly ever worries about the consequences of his actions (and may even revert to violence in order to vent out his anger on certain occasions), he is surprisingly considerate of his friends' feelings and insecurities. Yuu can be extremely impatient, excitable and impulsive. As Ryuunosuke Tanaka puts it, "he simply gets too fired up for his own good." He doesn't bother to filter his words, and is therefore prone to blurting out whatever he's thinking in a loud and tactless manner. In-game, however, his attitude changes drastically: he becomes incredibly focused and serious, remaining calm and doing everything in his power to provide the support his team needs until the very end. For this reason, everyone in the volleyball club respects him greatly. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wikia)

Ryuunosuke Tanaka

Team: Karasuno High Age: 16 Height: 177.2 cm (5'9") Weight: 68.8 kg (151lbs) Birthday: March 3 Year: 2nd Year, class 1 Number: 5 Position: Wing Spiker Favorite Food: Melon bread Current concern: He tried calling out to a lost-looking first-year girl to tell her the way to her classroom, but she started to cry. Ability Parameters (out of 5): Power = 5; jump = 3; stamina = 4; intellect = 2; technique = 2; speed = 3 Loud, hot-headed and easily angered, he is no stranger to picking fights. He is also somewhat of a slacker, shown by his less-than-stellar work ethic in school. Despite all this, he is shown to be caring and supportive towards his teammates, and even protective of his underclassmen. Once he gets fired up, he is usually unstoppable on the court—and also unstoppably loud, as demonstrated by his over-the-top cheering after scoring the first point in Karasuno's match against Tokonami, which resulted in a warning.

Kei Tsukishima

Team: Karasuno High Age: 15 Height: 190.1 cm Weight: 68.4 kg Birthday: September 27 Year: 1st year, class 4 Number: 11 Position: Middle blocker Favorite food: strawberry shortcake Ability parameters (out of 5): power = 2; jump = 3; stamina = 3; intellect = 5; technique = 3; speed = 3 A member of the Karasuno High volleyball club, Tsukishima is very blunt and has a habit of riling people up (usually Hinata, Kageyama, and even his senpais Tanaka and Nishinoya). He dislikes “hot-blooded people” and doesn’t like to exert too much effort due to the past experiences of his older brother. Aside from others like Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi, he has little to no respect for his other teammates and is shown to be quite irritated at having to be close to them (seen as Karasuno huddled up to build up their spirits and again when he expressed disgust in having to stay with the team during training camp). He can even be rude to Yamaguchi (the person closest to him) which really shows his spiteful personality. The second years think of him as someone with a warped personality. He also teases Kageyama both by calling him "the king" as well as referring to the rest of the players as common folk, which angers him to the core. (Source: Haikyuu!! Wikia)

Shouyou Hinata

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!! Wikia)
