At first glance, an anime surrounding a volleyball competition doesn't seem like a particularly interesting premise for an anime but surprisingly it makes for a bingable story. This is mostly due to the fact that it focuses on the characters most of the time. Although we won't try to answer the question of which character is the best we can still look into one interesting question. Which character is the best player in the show?
If this is something you wondered about keep reading this article since it ranks 10 best volleyball players in Haikyuu!!
Haikyuu Main Characters (Ranked)10. Kenma Kozume
Kenma Kozume was a second-year undergraduate at . He was the volleyball team's setter, and his teammates referred to him as the "heart" and "brain" of the group.
Kenma has a calm and analytical demeanor. He rarely loses his composure, and he rarely gets nervous or enthused about something. He is quiet and polite, and he rarely expresses his views because he is fearful of what people will think of him, and he despises being heard in any way.
Kenma is recognized as Nekoma's "brain" because of his keen strategic mind and remarkable abilities to devise elaborate tactics to counter his enemies. He is instinctively perceptive to others' behavior as a result of his preoccupation with what others think of him.
This allows him to pick up on the tiniest things of his enemies, such as their attitudes and personalities, and exploit them. Kenma would assess his rivals' abilities before devising a detailed strategy for his teammates to execute.
Most of his schemes go unnoticed at first, but as time goes by, they become more successful. As a result, his competitors are always unaware that they have stumbled into his trap.
Kenma is good at strategizing, but he is unathletic and has little stamina. Coach Ukai claims that as a setter, he is backed up by the whole team's receiving force. In other words, Kenma can make the most of his abilities thanks to the receivers' ability to return the ball to him cleanly.
He has recently become more aggressive, seeking out offensive chances rather than focusing purely on his teammates' flawless receptions. Like the rest of his unit, is adaptable and skilled at receiving and digging the ball.
His style of play normally causes Nekoma to get off to a late start in games as they adjust to the players and their styles. Nekoma goes on the attack in the final stretch, easily regaining whatever points they could have missed when they play and respond to the other team's strengths and weaknesses.
9. Tetsuro Kuroo
Tetsuro Kuroo previously attended Nekoma High School as a third-year undergraduate. He was the captain and middle blocker for the Boys' Volleyball Club, and was regarded as the "Scheming Captain." He joined the Japan Volleyball Association's sports marketing division in November 2018.
Kuroo has a laid-back but cunning attitude, and many refer to him as a provocation specialist. He would purposefully offend some and is unyielding with his snide remarks. This is shown by the way he enraged Tsukishima during the summer training camp when the first-year blocker maintained a casual approach to volleyball.
Kuroo is kinder and more honest than his outward appearance suggests. Kuroo seeks out and apologizes to Daichi for the insult after discovering he has crossed a line. Later, he demonstrates that, despite his status as a provocation specialist, sportsmanship is still vital to him.
Kuroo is widely regarded as a blocking specialist who excels at putting pressure on opponents. He is known to be Tsukishima's blocking instructor and possesses fine-tuned techniques.
