“A genius setter who once treated his team as tools — until they became the ones who saved him.”
Hinata's speed fused with Kageyama's precision setting — opponents can't track the ball before it's past them.
Powerful jump serve with tight placement control — rated among the best at the high school level.
Reads blockers and teammate condition in real time to deliver the optimal set — the core of his setter instinct.
His genius isolated him. He believed controlling his team was simply the correct approach — until they abandoned him. At Karasuno he begins to learn that a setter's job is to bring the team alive, and through his partnership with Hinata he chooses trust over control. He struggles to show emotion, but nothing about him is shallow.
