Shouyou Hinata

Teams: Yukigaoka Junior High (Former); Karasuno High (Current) Number: 1 (Junior High 3rd Year); 10 (High School 1st year); 5 (High School 3rd year) Position: Captain (Junior High); Outside Hitter (Junior High); Middle Blocker (High School) 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 the 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.
