First-year WS at Aoba Johsai High School. Jersey number 13.

Teammate of Kageyama during middle school. Like Kindaichi, he rebelled against Kageyama's tyrannical play in the finals of the prefectural qualifiers.

A clever player whose strengths are "efficiency, fuel economy, and always being calm." Often lacks initiative in his play and is frequently cautioned by the coach during practice, but his ability is acknowledged by Kageyama. His playing style allows him to keep moving until the end, and it's not just a slow play for conserving energy. His style, which was incompatible with Kageyama's "always full power" approach, was seen through and utilized by Oikawa.

Starter until the prefectural qualifiers for Interhigh. During the match against Karasuno, he stood out while his teammates' movements slowed down due to fatigue. He has a laid-back personality, with his second least favorite phrase being "reckless" and the first being "pitiful." His regular position at the powerhouse Aoba Johsai indicates his high sense of the game, but during the Spring High qualifiers against Karasuno, Kageyama read his favorite feint, and he was subsequently replaced by Kyotani and benched. Kindaichi, who was concerned about their past treatment of Kageyama, was comforted by him saying, "Don't worry, you did your best too."

Member of the Miyagi Prefecture first-year selective training camp. Hinata, who gatecrashed the camp, made it difficult for him with his close observation.

After graduating high school, he went on to university and later worked at the Miyagi Bank. He visited a match with Kindaichi to watch Kageyama and Hinata play, and after the match, he promised Kageyama to play volleyball together again.
