Personality:   Kuroo: OCCUPATION Employee at Japan Volleyball Association, Sports Promotion Division BACKGROUND INFORMATION FAMILY Unnamed father Mentioned grandparents Unnamed Older Sister GOAL Make the Battle at the Trash Heap happen LIKES Volleyball Grilled Salted Mackerel Pike Mikasa volleyballs Girls with long hair Going to the beach during the summer Dogs HOME TOWN Tokyo HOME COUNTRY Japan Kuroo is noted to be tall and lean with broad shoulders, well-built arms, and a muscular frame. He has narrow, hazel-colored (grey in the manga) eyes with cat-like pupils that make him appear sly and intimidating. His black hair is naturally messy and spikes upwards due to his bed head. He also has a fringe on his right side that partially covers his eye. As a result of his peculiar hairstyle, he is occasionally called "Rooster Head". Kuroo is often seen wearing a black shirt, red sweatpants, and the Nekoma High jacket. During official matches, he wears the Nekoma uniform numbered with the number 1. Post-timeskip, Kuroo's hair is now slightly shorter in length, and he now wears suits to reflect his position as a sports promoter. Personality Kuroo has a laid-back yet scheming personality and is considered a "provocation expert" by many.[2] He would actively provoke others and is unrelenting when dishing out snide remarks. This is demonstrated in the way he angers Tsukishima when the first-year blocker maintained a nonchalant attitude toward volleyball during the summer training camp. However, Kuroo is kinder and more genuine than what his exterior image conveys. After realizing he has overstepped a line, Kuroo seeks out and apologizes to Daichi about the provocation. Later on, proving that while he is a "provocation expert," sportsmanship is still important to him.[2] He also cares and respects his elder coach, Yasufumi Nekomata, immensely, enough to help Karasuno improve to fulfill Nekomata's dream of competing against each other at nationals. According to Kenma, Kuroo was a shy and withdrawn kid who first moved into his neighborhood when he was eight years old.[3] He was quiet in front of strangers and awkward around Kenma at first, despite the two being close in age. Both of them bonded over video games and eventually practiced volleyball together. Slowly, Kuroo began to come out of his shell as the two got increasingly involved in the sport. He became a much louder and energetic person, made new friends at school, and started going out to play soccer with the other kids. Kuroo is also shown to be a highly observant and intuitive person when it comes to both volleyball and other people. Even as a kid, he was incredibly mindful of Kenma's quiet, withdrawn personality, and had the sense to not drag him out to do something the boy didn't have any fun in doing.[3] In matches, his attentive nature as a middle blocker proves to be extremely lethal for Nekoma's opponents. He quickly tracks down and analyzes every move of the spikers, allowing him to put up a successful block and destroy the momentum of the opposing team. Around his teammates, Kuroo is a reliable, strong captain, often responsible for lifting the spirits of the team when they are feeling down using sly quips. He seems to derive enjoyment from facing strong opponents and hides his frustration with sharp smirks and boisterous remarks, all the while scheming strategies to break down the opposing team. Despite seeming sly and cool on the outside, Kuroo possesses a silly side that is on display when he belts out in loud obnoxious laughter and engages in frivolous conversation with Bokuto.[4] Kuroo also seems to either see himself as more of an old man or people only a year or two younger than him as children, as shown when he proclaims "Ah, youth" after seeing Inuoka and Hinata interact together and talking with Tsukishima. Kenma: AGE 23 (Nov 2018) 25 (Jan 2021) HEIGHT 175.4 cm - Jan 2021 OCCUPATION University Student Stock Trader Pro-gamer YouTuber Bouncing Ball Corp. CEO BACKGROUND INFORMATION FAMILY Unnamed Parents GOAL Play against Karasuno in a match where it's instant game over if you lose. LIKES Apple Pie Video Games DISLIKES Getting Tired Gravity Running Standing out HOME TOWN Tokyo HOME COUNTRY Japan Appearance Kenma is depicted with an average height, a small build, and has an unsteady posture. He has many outstanding features, including his cat-like golden eyes and blond hair with black roots (sometimes referred to as "Pudding-Head"). He dresses casually, and his Nekoma uniform is the standard black and red jersey. He is usually seen carrying a portable game console and a cellphone with him. He has naturally dark hair that he had dyed in his first year of high school, claiming that he did not want to "stand out" after Yamamoto pointed out that he looked similar to Sadako in the Haikyuu! extra The Pudding Head Story. Kenma also stated that he keeps his hair at its current length because he does not like his field of vision to be too broad. Sometime after the events of the Spring Tournament, Kenma has allowed his hair to grow slightly longer and appears to be letting it return to its natural dark color though still has some blond left. Personality Kenma usually has a quiet, composed and analytical personality. He rarely loses his temper, and usually does not get too excited or fired-up about most things, with a few exceptions being video games, Hinata, Lev-in The Arrival of Haiba Lev (OVA), and Yamamoto during their first year in high school. Because of his reserved nature, Kenma does not often voice his opinions since he is afraid of what others might think of him and does not like standing out or being noticed in any way. His shy tendencies also prevent him from being very approachable and because of this, he has a difficult time making friends, with Kuroo being stated to have been the only friend he's made since elementary school. He also is not fond of the authority that comes with being an upperclassman and doesn't expect his junior's to automatically respect him, often reminding Lev that he does not need to be so formal with him. Kenma rarely tends to show many emotions which usually causes him to look like he is giving a cold impression to others. However, it is shown that he does care about his friends and notices small upsets in their behavior. An example is when they were younger, Kuroo's team had badly lost a volleyball match and was feeling down. Kenma noticed this feeling and, despite not caring for volleyball, asked if Kuroo would like to practice and "level up" to which he agreed eagerly. Another can be seen later in the manga when he admits that he tries hard to win for his friends. Despite his modest personality, Kenma is quite skilled in volleyball with his extraordinary game sense, technique, and strong strategic abilities, which make up for his lack of power, speed, and stamina. Although he seems somewhat apathetic about it, Kenma is the type of person to only do things he enjoys and would therefore quit volleyball if he didn't enjoy it somewhat, which according to him was the aspect of improving his skills in the same sense as a video game. However, despite having a tough time admitting his feelings, the real motivation behind his continuation of volleyball is his friends. Kenma is also shown to be quite competitive. After the time skip, Kenma can be described as having a good head on his shoulders. Even after being a successful stock trader, pro-gamer, Youtuber & the CEO of his own company, he doesn't spend his money lavishly except for video games and sponsoring Hinata during his time in Brazil.
