Karasuno High School

The word 'Karasu' in the school name "Karasuno" means 'crow'. This is why the volleyball flag has the word "Fly" on it. The team was referred to as "Flightless Ravens" or "Fallen Crows", since they were formerly a strong team which even went to the nationals, but has been on the decline lately. Their team doesn't have any play style, instead, opting to be open and always trying out new styles to play.

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase^[1] (Japanese); Bryson Baugus^[2] (English)

Hinata is a first-year student at Karasuno High School. He was initially a wing spiker in junior high school and is currently a middle blocker. His play style makes him an excellent decoy, and even though he wants to become the ace (since it is flashy), he learns the importance of a decoy in the team, and plays it excellently. He is generally upbeat, clumsy, and weak, however he is very athletic and has extraordinary jumping ability and amazing reflexes. He is able to play immensely well with the help of Kageyama. Although he is a beginner and has a small stature, he is determined to become a strong player and thus manages to grow rapidly through each match. Together with Kageyama, he forms the "weird duo", due to their unnaturally fast quick attack.

Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa^[1] (Japanese); Scott Gibbs^[2] (English)

Unable to stand his attitude, his middle school team mates opted to stop playing with him in the middle of a match, which end up as a huge blow to him. After enrolling in Karasuno High School and joining the volleyball club where he meets Hinata, his opinions start to change and he begins to understand the importance of teamwork in a team sport.

Though he also has a stand-offish demeanor and seems to not care about his teammates, it is revealed that he loves volleyball, cares a lot for the sport, and has stayed friends with Yamaguchi not because he felt obliged to because he defended Yamaguchi from bullies in elementary school, but because genuinely cares for him and enjoys playing volleyball with him.

Oikawa also frequently makes cheerful remarks, but follows them up with serious or intimidating afterthoughts. Despite his flirtatious and blasé exterior, Oikawa is extremely intelligent and cunning, to the point of his own teammates stating they wouldn't want to be friends with him because he figures out everyone's weakness.

In addition, Oikawa spends time watching past games of his rivals, observing their movements ahead of time and strategizing how to defeat them.

Voiced by: Atsushi Tamaru (Japanese); Mark X. Laskowski^[2] (English)

Kunimi is a first-year and one of the wing spikers. He was Kageyama's former teammate at Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High. He is also known as "Curtain Hair." He has a lazy personality, due to which he usually tends to be lax and not play to his utmost strength. Kageyama didn't like this, and used to shout at him to play with his full strength at middle school, whereas Oikawa does the opposite. By conserving his strength throughout the game by being lax, he starts playing with full power during the later half of the games, when everyone else is exhausted, giving him higher chances of scoring and making him reliable.

Kentarō Kyōtani (京谷 賢太郎, Kyōtani Kentarō)

Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi (Japanese); Michael Wronski^[6] (English)

Kyōtani is a second-year wing spiker, nicknamed "Mad Dog" by Oikawa. His play style is reckless, since he likes hitting the ball with everything he's got, without looking at whether he might be blocked. This also makes him a double edged sword. His personality is rough, since he displays absolutely no team work, and doesn't even care about respecting his seniors, reprimanding them when anything is off. He stopped coming to practice because of this, but then returns after the first tournament, thinking that the third years might have retired by them. Despite his rough personality, he is a strong player. His middle school team is known to have been strong only during the years he was in it. He also has great body control and great dexterity, being able to spike with either hand.

Though he only listens to Iwaizumi, having been beaten by him in various games, Oikawa is the only one who can actually put him to good use in the game. Eventually, he starts becoming one with the team.
