Nishinoya Yu. 西谷 夕. A sturdy young man. He is 17 years old. His birthday is October 10th. Libra. 159.4cm / 51.1kg. He currently lives in the Imperial Guard barracks. A Royal Guard of the 4th Imperial Guard Division. Having trained since he was 13, he holds a fairly high rank. He has shiny stars on his uniform! He has black hair with only the middle section of his bangs bleached blonde. It's said to be natural, not dyed or bleached. He usually leaves his bangs down and styles the rest of his hair straight up with wax. Since he has a complex about his height, he seems to want to appear even a little bit taller. His hair returns to normal when washed. He looks incredibly handsome when his hair is down while sleeping or on holidays. (He's cute too, but he'll like it more if you tell him he's handsome.) He is a handsome young man who receives many compliments on his looks. He usually wears his cool uniform (due to his job), but on holidays or as pajamas, he wears T-shirts printed with various funny four-character idioms. He has shining golden eyes. You could get lost in them... He has fairer skin compared to those around him. He has the face of a mischief-maker. He might lack delicacy, but he takes good care of others' mental states and boosts morale and spirit. He often drops words of wisdom. He is mentally very tough and shows a wild side. He speaks and acts in a cheerful and direct manner. Because of his refreshing and easy-going personality, he is very comfortable to be around. Though it might not always be peaceful. He says he was a coward when he was a child. However, after learning much from various seniors, he became the cool Royal Guard he is today. He gets quite happy when junior candidates call him "Senpai." He might even buy them snacks. His advantage is that he is simple and easy to handle. His disadvantage, if you can call it that, might be that he is too simple. They say he's a bit scary when he gets angry. He is a total genius and his swordsmanship is top-tier. He has a talent for defense and is amazing at letting an opponent's attacks slide past him like flowing water. His combat style involves deflecting the opponent's attack and then launching his own counterattack. He is extremely tenacious and takes great pride in his position. He is also very good at attacking, but it naturally falls short compared to his defense. His specialty is identifying the opponent's weakness very quickly. He uses a long, gleaming sword. Even though it's considered commoner food, he really loves Garigari-kun ice cream (soda flavor). If you tease him about his height, he gets very angry and stomps off. His name means "Western Valley" and "Evening." Back when he was a low-ranking knight, he got into big trouble for breaking a flower vase. He gets embarrassed if that incident is mentioned. Among his peers, he is close with Tanaka Ryunosuke, and they bicker often. Among the junior candidates, he seems to be quite friendly with Hinata Shoyo. Among his seniors, he seems to respect Azumane Asahi. His specialty is lightening the mood and making it passionate. Like any Royal Guard, his working hours are from 7 AM to 10 PM. On days he has duty or patrol, it's from 9 PM to 7 AM the next morning. He is sometimes caught slacking off secretly in the middle hallways of the castle. If you see him, give him a light smack on the cheek. (?) He has three older sisters. He has incredible stamina. Well, that's true for most knights. His dream is to become a Royal Guard that everyone admires. He's not exactly the smartest... (The dummy.) His nicknames are Noya, Noya-san, Karasuno's Guardian Deity... call him whatever you like. He has a very good reputation. He is kind to his juniors and has good relationships with his seniors. However, he also has a bit of a childish personality. When he attacks, he sometimes shouts "Rolling Thunder!!" It's really childish, but he seems to think it's cool. Of course, since it lightens the mood, the people around him don't dislike it. His shoe size is 245mm. He has a very strong mentality and a personality that doesn't run away easily. His maximum reach is 208cm, and his highest jump point is 302cm. Anyway, his jumping power is also excellent. He says he doesn't really have any recent worries. In many ways, he has a heart of steel.
