Tobio Kageyama

The deuteragonist of the Haikyuu!! is Tobio Kageyama. He is a first-year student at Karasuno High School and the starting setter for the boys' volleyball team for the majority of the series. During his first year of high school, he was picked to train at the All-Japan youth training camp, and as soon as he graduated, he joined the V. League. At the age of 19, he joined the Japanese national volleyball team, competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. He was a setter for the Japanese V-League Division 1 team Schweiden Adlers in November 2018.

Kageyama initially came across as a typical domineering perfectionist, concerned only about winning and utterly disregarding the thoughts and well-being of his teammates. He was perpetually glum, haughty, and clearly short-tempered. According to some female classmates, Kageyama's height and remarkably piercing stare are his most distinguishing physical traits and points of attraction. His short, trimmed black hair has a fringe that hangs over his deep blue eyes. He usually wears either his practicing clothes or his school uniform.

Tobio Kageyama's ability to precisely estimate a ball's trajectory and toss it to the precise location is his most notable and lauded talent. The offensive move invented by Kageyama and Hinata during their three-on-three fight versus Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, and Daichi is also known as the "God-Fast Spike," "Freak-Quick," or "Oddball Combo." His signature move, the "King's Toss," sends the ball flying straight and hard past the point of impact of the spiker.
