->'''Voiced by''': Takuya Eguchi
The new captain of Johzenji's volleyball academy, whose childish personality and carefree leadership style clash with the school's established "simplicity and fortitude."
->'''Favorite Food:''' Wiener Pan
->'''Current Concern:''' The bread at school doesn't taste that great anymore.
* DittoFighter: He attempts to simulate Karasuno's synchronized attack after seeing it once. It doesn't work.
* DoggedNiceGuy: He makes advances towards Shimizu which ''don't'' endear him towards Karasuno at all.
* ManChild: Terushima is extremely childish and energetic despite being a high-school team captain.
* MeaningfulName: The characters in his first name mean "playful child," which aptly describes his freewheeling personality.
* WildCard: The team's moves have been unorthodox under his captaincy, so Karasuno has to think on its feet to predict what they'll do next. This is in contrast to the previous leadership, who exacerbated "[[BoringButPractical simplicity and fortitude]]," to the great dismay of their manager.

[[folder: Tooru Oikawa]]
!!Tooru Oikawa -- '''#1'''
[[quoteright:250:'''Position:''' Setter\\
'''Height/Weight:''' 184.3cm/72.2kg\\
''3rd Year'']]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oikawa_7813.jpg
->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa
Oikawa is the captain of Aobajousai's volleyball team and is widely regarded as the ace setter. A former member and setter of Kitagawa Daiichi, he won the "Best Setter Award" in the Miyagi prefecture during his 3rd year in junior high.
->Favorite Food: Milk Bread
->Current Concern: When he tried to talk to Karasuno's manager, Shimizu, he got utterly ignored. (But she must just have been shy, and it's not like he's all that bothered by it, not even a little bit, not at all - Oikawa said to himself.)
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Tooru Oikawa:
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler:What Ushijima and Kageyama are to him.]]
* BeautyIsBad: The only male character outright stated to be attractive, and also the one with the most antagonistic personality.
* {{Bishonen}}: The most outstanding example in the manga. He even has fangirls cheering for him during his games.
* ButtMonkey: Mainly among his teammates of the same year, who even threaten to make him pay their food if he misses a serve. They do respect him as the captain and as a player and trust him during the game, though.
* CantCatchUp: [[spoiler:He worries that if he teaches Kageyama what he knows, he would become this to him. He also admits that it's probably going to happen anyway, since Kageyama evolves very fast.]]
%%* TheCaptain
* ChickMagnet: Oikawa's looks and charming personality have made him quite popular among the females. His fangirls often cheer for him during games and surround him off court (much to Iwaizumi’s, Tanaka’s, and Nishinoya's dismay). They also offer him homemade goodies while they are crowding him and Oikawa humors them — even offering to take pictures with them.
* ChildhoodFriends: Got into volleyball with Iwaizumi when they were very young.
* DeathGlare: Not as angry as Kageyama's, and usually more of a "time to get serious" gaze, but one wonders if he didn't teach the latter [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/40d98f15c36015e0067095655ecd22eb/tumblr_nluqf2AOBs1tr60i9o3_1280.jpg a thing]] or [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/94a0191faba82d977ac5bca259b1a31a/tumblr_nluqf2AOBs1tr60i9o4_500.jpg two]] in junior high, after all.
* TheDreaded:
** He's able to induce an OhCrap face in [[TeenGenius Kageyama]] right on his introduction, which immediately puts Karasuno on their guard.
** Played for laughs with Kyoutani of all people, who seems to have a innate unease towards Oikawa and so mostly keeps a distance from him. The rest of the team, Oikawa included, is rather amused by this.
* {{Determinator}}: Defeating Shiratorizawa and going to Nationals is his main goal. He has been at it for ''years'' and [[spoiler: would've overworked himself during junior high in order to achieve it, had Iwaizumi not intervened]]. Also note that his personal motto is "If you're going to attack, [[AttackAttackAttack keep it until your opponent breaks]]."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** When Oikawa arrives in the practice match between Aobajousai and Karasuno, Kageyama's first reaction is to get alarmed and tell the team about his former upperclassmen's aggressive style of play and bad personality. Coming from Kageyama, who up to that point is considered in-universe an incredible setter despite his temper, this tells both Karasuno and the audience that Oikawa is at the very least a powerful enemy on court. Oikawa's own team is also visibly relaxed once he arrives, a hint later confirmed that they trust him as their captain and setter.
** Oikawa's introduction also shows his [[{{Squee}} fangirls' screaming]] even ''before showing his face properly'', which immediately cements him as a {{Bishounen}} and a ChickMagnet.
* {{Foil}}: To Sugawara. They're both third year setters outshined by Kageyama, but their treatment of Kageyama is very different. Since Oikawa resented Kageyama, he never gave him advice or helped him when they were teammates. Sugawara, on the other hand, is jealous of Kageyama but he holds no animosity towards him; he always treats him with the kindness Oikawa never gave him as an upperclassman and rival setter.
* FriendToAllChildren: On Mondays, Oikawa volunteers teaching volleyball to young children.
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]ChildhoodFriends: With Iwaizumi.
* InSeriesNickname: Hinata calls him the Grand King, as a reference to him being a senior on Kageyama's junior high team. It's also a [[PunnyName punny nickname]]: the original phrase is 'Daiou' (大王) which is a title often associated with Alexander the Great, whom Oikawa shares his birthday with. They are also both mentioned to have outstanding leadership skills, but a bad personality.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Not an extreme example, but he has some shades of this. His smugness and blasé exterior hide feelings of resentment and insecurity.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all his smugness, Oikawa is very dedicated to his team and believes in each one of his teammates. [[FriendToAllChildren He also coaches volleyball to children]] [[PetTheDog during his free time]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Likes to openly razz people, especially opponents, has a very childish side and is fiercely competitive. [[spoiler:It's all mostly in result of his bitterness toward always losing in the end.]]
* TheNicknamer: A subtle example, but he usually addresses people by nicknames, be it the suffix ''-chan'' (e.g., Iwaizumi, Kageyama, Kunimi) or something he came up with himself ("Mad Dog" for Kyoutani and "Mr. Refreshing" for Sugawara). He also doesn't call Hinata anything but "shorty", "shrimp" or similar.
* TheResenter: Being someone who has bloomed mostly through hard work rather than innate talent, Oikawa seems to resent geniuses in general and Kageyama in particular. [[spoiler:Doesn’t help that he used to perceive Kageyama as a direct threat to his position as setter during junior high]]. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it doesn't seem like he completely grew out of it, as he can be very immature when Kageyama is concerned.
* SignatureMove: His killer serve is dreaded by the teams he plays against.
* SoreLoser: Not a terrible example of the trope, nor a [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating haughty winner]], and does acknowledge his opponents' strengths, but taking a loss well isn't one of Oikawa's best qualities. When [[spoiler: Aobajousai loses to Karasuno and he accompanies Iwaizumi to the crows' subsequent match against Shiratorizawa, Oikawa bitterly claims that he isn't cheering for any of them and that both should lose]].
* StepfordSmiler: For all of Oikawa's cheery charm, Iwaizumi notes that these expressions are rarely genuine.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Calls Kageyama "Tobio-chan", which is quite overly familiar even for him. Given Oikawa's [[{{Jerkass}} nature]] and the fact that he sees Kageyama as a rival, it’s very likely that this is a form of provocation on his part.
%% * TricksterMentor: Was a variation of this toward Kageyama.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Iwaizumi. Oikawa is often pushing Iwaizumi’s buttons on purpose, and Iwaizumi returns it, usually physically. Despite that, they still have what Oikawa describes as a "perfect trust" in each other.
* WorthyOpponent: Ushijima respects his skills enough to consider him this, and even goes as far as saying that Oikawa [[WeCanRuleTogether should have attended Shiratorizawa]].

The ace spiker for Aobajousai. Iwaizumi is a close friend of Oikawa, the two seem to have a deep sense of trust in each other. However, Iwaizumi does not approve of Oikawa's more childish antics and often prevents him from doing petty acts.
->Favourite food: Agedashi tofu

!!!Tropes associated with Hajime Iwaizumi:
* AffectionateNickname: Oikawa refers to him as "Iwa-chan".
* ChildhoodFriends: Got into volleyball with Oikawa when they were very young.
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost exclusively towards Oikawa.
%%Expies require citations, please put some before uncommenting {{Expy}}: A level headed snarky companion to a womanizing ace? 'Sup [[Manga/KurokoNoBasuke Kasamatsu.]]
* IdenticalStranger: He looks incredibly similar to Hinata's friend Kouji.
* HeightAngst: Played for laughs, his current concern is his annoyance at being 7mm away from being six feet tall.
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]ChildhoodFriends: With Oikawa.
* ManlyTears: He breaks down into tears when [[spoiler: Aobajousai loses to Karasuno]].
* MoralityChain: To Oikawa at times, most notably [[spoiler:keeping him from hitting a young Kageyama out of frustration]]. He becomes one to Kyoutani as well by means of DefeatMeansRespect, after repeatedly defeating the latter in various fields (track, arm-wrestling, etc).
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Oikawa. Oikawa is often pushing Iwaizumi’s buttons on purpose, and Iwaizumi returns it... usually physically. Despite that, they still have what Oikawa describes as a "perfect trust" in each other.
* WorthyOpponent: To Oikawa's dismay, Iwaizumi is the only person on the team Kyoutani listens to...because every time Kyoutani challenged him in physicality, Iwaizumi would win.

->Voiced by: Creator/MakotoFurukawa
Kindaichi is a middle blocker from Aobajousai. He is also one of Kageyama’s former teammates from Kitagawa Daiichi. Because of Kageyama’s difficult temper during middle school, Kindaichi used to clash with him a lot and still thinks poorly of him.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Yuutarou Kindaichi:
* InSeriesNickname: Hinata refers to him as "Shallot Head".
* RejectedApology: Immediately rejects [[spoiler:Kageyama's implied attempt of apologizing for his former behavior]], [[spoiler: claiming that they were never friends in the first place]]. This however seems to settle, rather than worsen, things between the two of them.

->Voiced by: Atsushi Tamaru
One of Kageyama's teammates back in Kitagawa Daiichi.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Akira Kunimi:
* BrilliantButLazy: At the first years' training camp, he clearly puts in the least effort of anyone there. However, as Hinata's observational skills improve he realizes that the seeming apathy is a result of Kunimi playing with a rock-solid composure and no wasted energy, making him one of the most dangerous players in the camp and the one with the best winning record in doubles.
* TheStoic: He has a tired or unimpressed expression on his face most of the time.
** NotSoStoic: Kageyama is astonished when Kunimi [[spoiler:smiles normally during the match against Aobajousai, something that he, as a former teammate, had never seen Kunimi do.]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: Shares this trope with Kindaichi.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyoutani_2076.png
->Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi
A player from Aobajousai, nicknamed "Mad Dog" by Oikawa. He was rather famous in Junior High, and has the best skills of his grade, but is a very difficult person to deal with.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Kentaro Kyoutani:
* AlliterativeName: '''K'''entaro '''K'''youtani.
* ArtShift: During his first play against Karasuno, shifting into a highly frenetic, heavily-inked style more reminiscent of Street Fighter (IV onwards) than the rest of the series.
* CharacterDevelopment: During the match against Karasuno, he starts to understand the value of teamwork and and how important is to have people to rely on. Particularly noticeable when he starts exchanging high fives with his teammates after some initial confusion.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Iwaizumi is the only person on the team that he'll listen to, as Kyoutani challenged him multiple times and lost every time. Yahaba slamming him against the wall shortly before asking him to help them out on the court appears to have a similar effect.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His bad attitude was enough to make his fellow first years avoid him like the plague. It seems that the only reason he hasn’t been kicked out of the club is because he is a very good player.
** A flashback shows that he had a similar relationship with his team mates in junior high, although it's ambiguous as to whether it's this trope or AllOfTheOtherReindeer, given that it's framed as him overhearing their comments about him.
* InSeriesNickname: Kyouken (狂犬), literally [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Mad Dog"]], derived from his name (though with different kanji).
* {{Jerkass}}: Doesn’t seem to have much respect for anyone, save for Iwaizumi. He appears to gain some respect for Yahaba after being slammed against a wall by him.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Has been in Aobajousai since his first year, apparently, but we’re only introduced to him around the hundredth chapter of the manga. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that despite technically being in the team, he wasn’t attending club activities. It’s implied that he was waiting for the third years to graduate before coming back.

->Voiced by: Hiroki Matsukawa
A middle blocker from Datekou. Aone is a vital part of the "Iron Wall" — Datekou’s impressive “wall” of defense.
->Favourite food: Kuri kinton
->Current concern: When he's riding the train nobody wants to sit on either side of him.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Takanobu Aone:
* GentleGiant: Despite his intimidating appearance (he is nearly 192cm, or 6'3") and [[PerpetualFrowner serious demeanor]], he's quick to greet Hinata [[spoiler: after Karasuno defeats his team]], and is quite the good-natured guy; [[FaceOfAThug turns out that that's just how his face is naturally]]. [[AllThereInTheManual Character book]] also says his current concern is that "nobody will sit next to him when he's riding the train."
* NoBrows: His lack of eyebrows is noted by other characters.
* TheQuietOne: He's clearly a man of few words.
* SignatureMove: Read blocking, which Karasuno has trouble countering.

A wing spiker from Datekou, often seen with Aone. Futakuchi is an easygoing young man that is considered a rather problematic kouhai by his upperclassmen.
->Favourite food: Sour gummies.
->Current concern: He has to go and get his wisdom teeth pulled.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Kenji Futakuchi:
* TheCaptain: [[spoiler: Becomes this after his senpai graduate.]]
* TheChainsOfCommanding: [[spoiler: Futakuchi is a lot less laid-back once he becomes the captain, and comes to understand just how much his relaxed attitude used to trouble his sempai.]]
* FriendshipMoment: Or perhaps Teamwork Moment. When Moniwa, the team's captain, says that Futakuchi and Aone had overpowered Karasuno up to that point, Futakuchi asks him to say ''we'' instead, as in, they had all done it together. Given his personality, his senpai are very much surprised (and touched) at this.
* RankUp: He becomes captain after his senpai graduate.
* StoneWall: Whenever someone mentions the Iron Wall, they’re usually referring to Aone ''and'' Futakuchi. Futakuchi might not be as tall as Aone, but is just as skilled in blocking.

Ushijima is a wing spiker and also the ace of the strongest school in the prefecture, Shiratorizawa.
->Favourite food: Hayashi rice.

!!!Tropes associated with Wakatoshi Ushijima:
* TheAce: Ushijima is Shiratorizawa’s ace, and apparently has been so since middle school. He’s also recognized as the number one ace in the prefecture and third in the country.
* BadassBaritone: His voice in the anime is... '''deep'''.
%%* TheCaptain
* TheComicallySerious: He is proper and unflappable to the point of absurdity, like when Tendou lends him a manga magazine and he reads skin-care tips from the pharmaceutical ads instead of the comics.
* InSeriesNickname: "Ushiwaka", an abbreviation of his full name.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Is pretty blatant to the point of people thinking he's mocking them or using of BrutalHonesty, when he's actually just being honest about what he thinks.
* InvincibleVillain: How some of the other teams in the prefecture see him; he's ''so'' good that it's pointless to put up much of an effort.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Downplayed, but volleyball-wise, he seems to think his way. He outright says to Kageyama that Shiratorizawa has no need of a setter who can’t devote themselves to ''him''.
* TheRival: To pretty much every other team in the series, but especially to [[spoiler: Oikawa.]]
* TheStoic: Usually has a very serious expression on his face.
** NotSoStoic: If the [[spoiler: [[SlasherSmile creepy smile]]]] he shows after Hinata and Kageyama openly challenge him is anything to go by.
* TheSouthpaw: [[spoiler:His father was influential in preventing young Wakatoshi from being forced to use his right hand.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries to pull this on [[spoiler:Oikawa]] attempting to get him to be Shiratorizawa's setter. He is quickly refused.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: [[spoiler:He genuinely smiles when talking to his team in Chapter 185, leaving them all stunned.]]

----
* {{Foil}}: To Sugawara. Both are senior setters who've been benched because of more talented underclassmen. Although Suga admits that he's jealous of Kageyama's abilities, he openly supports and mentors the latter, while Semi is more obviously resentful and critical of Shirabu.

-----
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: His guess blocking is based partially on intuition and partially on reading the opponent's nonverbal cues.

!!Tooru Oikawa -- '''#1'''
[[quoteright:250:'''Position:''' Setter\\
'''Height/Weight:''' 184.3cm/72.2kg\\
''3rd Year'']]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oikawa_7813.jpg
->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa
Oikawa is the captain of Aobajousai's volleyball team and is widely regarded as the ace setter. A former member and setter of Kitagawa Daiichi, he won the "Best Setter Award" in the Miyagi prefecture during his 3rd year in junior high.
->Favorite Food: Milk Bread
->Current Concern: When he tried to talk to Karasuno's manager, Shimizu, he got utterly ignored. (But she must just have been shy, and it's not like he's all that bothered by it, not even a little bit, not at all - Oikawa said to himself.)
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Tooru Oikawa:
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler:What Ushijima and Kageyama are to him.]]
* BeautyIsBad: The only male character outright stated to be attractive, and also the one with the most antagonistic personality.
* {{Bishonen}}: The most outstanding example in the manga. He even has fangirls cheering for him during his games.
* ButtMonkey: Mainly among his teammates of the same year, who even threaten to make him pay their food if he misses a serve. They do respect him as the captain and as a player and trust him during the game, though.
* CantCatchUp: [[spoiler:He worries that if he teaches Kageyama what he knows, he would become this to him. He also admits that it's probably going to happen anyway, since Kageyama evolves very fast.]]
%%* TheCaptain
* ChickMagnet: Oikawa's looks and charming personality have made him quite popular among the females. His fangirls often cheer for him during games and surround him off court (much to Iwaizumi’s, Tanaka’s, and Nishinoya's dismay). They also offer him homemade goodies while they are crowding him and Oikawa humors them — even offering to take pictures with them.
* ChildhoodFriends: Got into volleyball with Iwaizumi when they were very young.
* DeathGlare: Not as angry as Kageyama's, and usually more of a "time to get serious" gaze, but one wonders if he didn't teach the latter [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/40d98f15c36015e0067095655ecd22eb/tumblr_nluqf2AOBs1tr60i9o3_1280.jpg a thing]] or [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/94a0191faba82d977ac5bca259b1a31a/tumblr_nluqf2AOBs1tr60i9o4_500.jpg two]] in junior high, after all.
* TheDreaded:
** He's able to induce an OhCrap face in [[TeenGenius Kageyama]] right on his introduction, which immediately puts Karasuno on their guard.
** Played for laughs with Kyoutani of all people, who seems to have a innate unease towards Oikawa and so mostly keeps a distance from him. The rest of the team, Oikawa included, is rather amused by this.
* {{Determinator}}: Defeating Shiratorizawa and going to Nationals is his main goal. He has been at it for ''years'' and [[spoiler: would've overworked himself during junior high in order to achieve it, had Iwaizumi not intervened]]. Also note that his personal motto is "If you're going to attack, [[AttackAttackAttack keep it until your opponent breaks]]."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** When Oikawa arrives in the practice match between Aobajousai and Karasuno, Kageyama's first reaction is to get alarmed and tell the team about his former upperclassmen's aggressive style of play and bad personality. Coming from Kageyama, who up to that point is considered in-universe an incredible setter despite his temper, this tells both Karasuno and the audience that Oikawa is at the very least a powerful enemy on court. Oikawa's own team is also visibly relaxed once he arrives, a hint later confirmed that they trust him as their captain and setter.
** Oikawa's introduction also shows his [[{{Squee}} fangirls' screaming]] even ''before showing his face properly'', which immediately cements him as a {{Bishounen}} and a ChickMagnet.
* {{Foil}}: To Sugawara. They're both third year setters outshined by Kageyama, but their treatment of Kageyama is very different. Since Oikawa resented Kageyama, he never gave him advice or helped him when they were teammates. Sugawara, on the other hand, is jealous of Kageyama but he holds no animosity towards him; he always treats him with the kindness Oikawa never gave him as an upperclassman and rival setter.
* FriendToAllChildren: On Mondays, Oikawa volunteers teaching volleyball to young children.
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]ChildhoodFriends: With Iwaizumi.
* InSeriesNickname: Hinata calls him the Grand King, as a reference to him being a senior on Kageyama's junior high team. It's also a [[PunnyName punny nickname]]: the original phrase is 'Daiou' (大王) which is a title often associated with Alexander the Great, whom Oikawa shares his birthday with. They are also both mentioned to have outstanding leadership skills, but a bad personality.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Not an extreme example, but he has some shades of this. His smugness and blasé exterior hide feelings of resentment and insecurity.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all his smugness, Oikawa is very dedicated to his team and believes in each one of his teammates. [[FriendToAllChildren He also coaches volleyball to children]] [[PetTheDog during his free time]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Likes to openly razz people, especially opponents, has a very childish side and is fiercely competitive. [[spoiler:It's all mostly in result of his bitterness toward always losing in the end.]]
* TheNicknamer: A subtle example, but he usually addresses people by nicknames, be it the suffix ''-chan'' (e.g., Iwaizumi, Kageyama, Kunimi) or something he came up with himself ("Mad Dog" for Kyoutani and "Mr. Refreshing" for Sugawara). He also doesn't call Hinata anything but "shorty", "shrimp" or similar.
* TheResenter: Being someone who has bloomed mostly through hard work rather than innate talent, Oikawa seems to resent geniuses in general and Kageyama in particular. [[spoiler:Doesn’t help that he used to perceive Kageyama as a direct threat to his position as setter during junior high]]. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it doesn't seem like he completely grew out of it, as he can be very immature when Kageyama is concerned.
* SignatureMove: His killer serve is dreaded by the teams he plays against.
* SoreLoser: Not a terrible example of the trope, nor a [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating haughty winner]], and does acknowledge his opponents' strengths, but taking a loss well isn't one of Oikawa's best qualities. When [[spoiler: Aobajousai loses to Karasuno and he accompanies Iwaizumi to the crows' subsequent match against Shiratorizawa, Oikawa bitterly claims that he isn't cheering for any of them and that both should lose]].
* StepfordSmiler: For all of Oikawa's cheery charm, Iwaizumi notes that these expressions are rarely genuine.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Calls Kageyama "Tobio-chan", which is quite overly familiar even for him. Given Oikawa's [[{{Jerkass}} nature]] and the fact that he sees Kageyama as a rival, it’s very likely that this is a form of provocation on his part.
%% * TricksterMentor: Was a variation of this toward Kageyama.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Iwaizumi. Oikawa is often pushing Iwaizumi’s buttons on purpose, and Iwaizumi returns it, usually physically. Despite that, they still have what Oikawa describes as a "perfect trust" in each other.
* WorthyOpponent: Ushijima respects his skills enough to consider him this, and even goes as far as saying that Oikawa [[WeCanRuleTogether should have attended Shiratorizawa]].

!!!Tropes associated with Akira Kunimi:
* BrilliantButLazy: At the first years' training camp, he clearly puts in the least effort of anyone there. However, as Hinata's observational skills improve he realizes that the seeming apathy is a result of Kunimi playing with a rock-solid composure and no wasted energy, making him one of the most dangerous players in the camp and the one with the best winning record in doubles.
* TheStoic: He has a tired or unimpressed expression on his face most of the time.
** NotSoStoic: Kageyama is astonished when Kunimi [[spoiler:smiles normally during the match against Aobajousai, something that he, as a former teammate, had never seen Kunimi do.]]

A player from Aobajousai, nicknamed "Mad Dog" by Oikawa. He was rather famous in Junior High, and has the best skills of his grade, but is a very difficult person to deal with.
-----
[[hardline]]
!!!Tropes associated with Kentaro Kyoutani:
* AlliterativeName: '''K'''entaro '''K'''youtani.
* ArtShift: During his first play against Karasuno, shifting into a highly frenetic, heavily-inked style more reminiscent of Street Fighter (IV onwards) than the rest of the series.
* CharacterDevelopment: During the match against Karasuno, he starts to understand the value of teamwork and and how important is to have people to rely on. Particularly noticeable when he starts exchanging high fives with his teammates after some initial confusion.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Iwaizumi is the only person on the team that he'll listen to, as Kyoutani challenged him multiple times and lost every time. Yahaba slamming him against the wall shortly before asking him to help them out on the court appears to have a similar effect.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His bad attitude was enough to make his fellow first years avoid him like the plague. It seems that the only reason he hasn’t been kicked out of the club is because he is a very good player.
** A flashback shows that he had a similar relationship with his team mates in junior high, although it's ambiguous as to whether it's this trope or AllOfTheOtherReindeer, given that it's framed as him overhearing their comments about him.
* InSeriesNickname: Kyouken (狂犬), literally [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Mad Dog"]], derived from his name (though with different kanji).
* {{Jerkass}}: Doesn’t seem to have much respect for anyone, save for Iwaizumi. He appears to gain some respect for Yahaba after being slammed against a wall by him.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Has been in Aobajousai since his first year, apparently, but we’re only introduced to him around the hundredth chapter of the manga. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that despite technically being in the team, he wasn’t attending club activities. It’s implied that he was waiting for the third years to graduate before coming back.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: [[spoiler: Futakuchi is a lot less laid-back once he becomes the captain, and comes to understand just how much his relaxed attitude used to trouble his sempai.]]
* FriendshipMoment: Or perhaps Teamwork Moment. When Moniwa, the team's captain, says that Futakuchi and Aone had overpowered Karasuno up to that point, Futakuchi asks him to say ''we'' instead, as in, they had all done it together.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Is pretty blatant to the point of people thinking he's mocking them or using of BrutalHonesty, when he's actually just being honest about what he thinks.
