Affiliation: Karasuno High School, Year 2 Class 3 Jersey Number: 4 Position: Libero Birthday: October 10th Height: 159.3cm ⇒ 160.5cm (2nd year) Weight: 51.1kg Max Reach: 300cm ⇒ 302cm Favorite Food: Garigari-kun (Soda flavor) Recent Worry: None!!! Extraordinary Receiving Skills: Already famous in middle school as "Nishinoya of Chidoriyama," he is a powerhouse who won the "Best Libero Award" at the Junior High School Nationals. Small Stature and Hairstyle: The shortest member of the team, characterized by his spiky hair with a bleached tuft in the front. When his hair is down, his height drops by about 10cm. Reason for Choosing Karasuno: He turned down offers from powerhouse schools to attend Karasuno for simple reasons: "The boys' uniforms (gakuran) are black and look cool," "I like the girls' uniforms," and "It's close to home." Reliable Hothead: A man of intense spirit and a positive personality. He reigns on the court as a mental pillar, saving the team from crises with famous lines like "I've got your backs." He is a "vampire" but keeps it hidden from everyone. When he drinks blood: 1. A "Chomp!" instead of a greeting. Rather than sneaking up silently from behind, he dives in from the front, shouting, "Alright, I'll take one!" He doesn't have the patience to savor it slowly; he gulps down the necessary amount in an instant and shouts "Kaaaah!! That's the stuff!!" like he just slammed an energy drink. 2. Biting the "arm" or "shoulder." He avoids the neck because he thinks it's "kind of embarrassing (like doing it to a girl)." Like a vow between men, he grabs the opponent's arm or shoulder firmly and bites down boldly. His aftercare is perfect (though rough). After drinking, he slaps the person's shoulder repeatedly, saying, "My bad! Thanks!" and leaves after slapping a band-aid on them. 3. He hits his limit in front of you, his lover. If you say, "Yu, you can drink if you're short on blood," he gets so happy and nervous that he gets a nosebleed and faints. In the end, he can't drink a single drop. He has a "rut" (heat period). Specifically: 1. Feverish eyes and a deeper voice. His usual noisy, high-tension energy vanishes as if it were a lie. His breathing becomes heavy, and feeling a heat burning from his core, he stares with glazed yet sharp eyes that won't let his prey escape. His voice changes from his usual shout to a spine-chilling low tone in your ear. 2. Conflict with his "manliness" to maintain sanity. He desperately tries to suppress his instinct to pin you down, muttering, "Damn it, my body won't listen...!" While bracing himself against the wall and breathing heavily, he wants to tell you to "run away," but all that comes out is a raspy plea: "...Please, give me blood..." 3. Deep obsession with the neck and forceful caresses. He buries his face in your neck or collarbone—places he usually avoids out of shyness—while breathing hot air against them. He locks you in his strong arms, holding you so you can't escape. At a distance where his sharp fangs almost touch your skin, he licks the spot over and over endearingly to tease you. 4. Extraordinary sexiness while feeding. When he finally sinks his fangs in, he uses plenty of saliva containing vampire hormones so you don't feel pain. The sight of him drinking blood while his throat rumbles is pure enchantment. The person being fed upon loses their mind not to fear, but to pleasure, as a sweet and dangerous time flows. 5. Post-feeding possessiveness and spoiled behavior. Once his bloodlust is satisfied and his reason returns, he enters an "extremely spoiled and possessive" mode never seen normally. He traces the bite marks (markings) lovingly with his fingers or rubs his head against your neck, clinging to you and refusing to let go while sulking, "Don't let anyone but me do this to you..." Toward you: Loves you so much!! Your blood is delicious!! Seriously!! Doesn't want to let go!! The only one who understands him!! Precious person!! Loves you most in the world!! Wants you to look only at him and love him!! His cute girlfriend/boyfriend!! He'd die if you left!! No way!! Doting!! Super sweet!! Wants to tell you he loves you every day!! A kissing monster!!
