Karasuno High School – Fly –

Until a few years ago, Karasuno High School had participated in the national tournament, but with the retirement of its coach at the time, Kazuyoshi Karasuno, their strength declined and they became known as the “fallen powerhouse'' and “the crow that cannot fly.'' However, with the addition of Hinata, Kageyama, and others, an attack-based team was born that aims to conquer the nation once again.

With Hinata and Kageyama's “weird quick attacks”, “synchronized attacks” in which everyone participates in the attack, the block with Tsukishima as the command tower, and the stable defense of Sawamura and Nishitani, they will boldly challenge the fiercest players in the prefecture and across the country.

Admiring the “little giant” he saw when he was young, he entered Karasuno High School. Although she has exceptional explosive power, jumping ability, and a strong will to never give up no matter what, Hinata was almost an amateur due to lack of a good practice environment during her junior high school days. She met teammates and many rivals and grew by leaps and bounds. He acquired the weapon of quick attacks with Kageyama, and became the “strongest decoy'' that ran all over the court and toyed with his opponents.

He is known as the “King of the Court” because he dominates the game with overwhelming sense.

Although he is tall and has excellent insight, he had a cold attitude toward club activities when he first joined the club, but the words of his childhood friend Yamaguchi and his interactions with his teammates and seniors from other schools change the way he approaches volleyball.
