A/N: Hello, readers! I'm gonna write a character wiki for Atsushi in the form of the Haikyuu Wiki. So here you go!

[ EDIT (4/4/21): I unpublished this for a while so I could add a wiki for Sakamoto, that's why you're seeing this again. ]

❝ I'm an Ushijima... Giving up is not an option! ❞

Atsushi Ushijima

Atsushi Ushijima (Japanese: 牛島 淳 Ushijima Atsushi) was a first-year student at Karasuno High. He was one of the boys' volleyball club's wing spikers. In his third-year, he became the team's ace. As of 2018, he is married to Tobio Kageyama, changing his name to Atsushi Kageyama (Japanese: 影山 淳 Kageyama Atsushi). He's also a member of Schweiden Adlers, a Division 1 team in the V. League. As of 2021, he became a member of Argentina's National Team and participated in the 2021 Olympics. 

He is the younger brother of Wakatoshi Ushijima.

APPEARANCE:
Atsushi has dark brown hair and olive colored eyes. He is 183 cm (6' 0"). Which is the average height for a volleyball player.

While on court, Atsushi wears a standard black and orange Karasuno High uniform emblazoned with the number thirteen. He also wears white athletic shoes.

At other times, Atsushi dresses in the Karasuno High uniform, which consists of a classic black gakuran, white collared shirt, and black pants.

PERSONALITY:
Atsushi is mostly emotionless and doesn't really care about anything. Though once you get to know him he can be really caring. He is also blunt and doesn't sugarcoat his words.

BACKGROUND:
As a young child, Atsushi had always admired his older brother, Wakatoshi, as a volleyball player and his skills. His dream was to go to nationals with his brother at his side. However, it all changed during his third-year at Shiratorizawa Junior High when he decided to go to Karasuno instead of Shiratorizawa.

It was then that he made the decision that he didn't want to be just like Wakatoshi, he wanted to be stronger than him and even surpass him as a volleyball player.

STATISTICS:

High School Statistics

Power: 4/5.
Jumping: 4/5.
Stamina: 5/5.
Game Sense: 5/5.
Technique: 4/5.
Speed: 5/5.

Atsushi is a good overall player. Even though he is a wing spiker, it is shown that he can set the ball for his teammates like a setter.

Jumping Reach: 345 cm.

SKILLS:
• Spiking: Like his older brother, Atsushi has powerful spikes. His spikes tend to be strong and consistent. Because he is ambidextrous, he tends to switch hands when he spikes, making it hard for his opponents to know which hand he would be using. He eventually learns how to do straight shots due to Bokuto's teaching.

• Serving: Atsushi has a powerful jump serve that is equally as powerful as his brother's, as noted by Yamagata during their game against Shiratorizawa.

• Receiving: Atsushi is shown to be very capable and consistent in this area. It it noted that like his older brother, he tends to not move while passing and usually adjusts his leg position instead of making full steps.
