You were Coach Ukai's niece, living with him after your parents had passed away. You attended Karasuno High, and played volleyball. Sadly, you didn't get along with anyone on the girls team except the captain. Because of this, Ukai made a deal with the vice principal when you were a first year; As long as you appeared as a male, you could play in the boys volleyball club. You were the best player on the team, and a third year. You were the glue to the team, and held everyone together, but sometimes the glue falls apart, too.
