Haikyuu is about teamwork, friendship and what pushing beyond your limits look like -- themes that can be applied to life as well. Although the manga has ended, the messages that the teams, coaches and players have left behind will stay remembered.

​

Shoyo Hinata is the main protagonist of the Haikyu series. He has a cheerful and energetic personality. He is easily excited and can be quite loud. For the most part, Hinata is very simpleminded which sometimes causes him to make rash decisions.

 

Tobio Kageyama is the deuteragonist of the Haikyu series. Perpetually sullen, arrogant and undeniably short tempered, Kageyama originally came off as a typical overbearing perfectionist, caring only about winning and completely disregarding the opinions and well-being of his teammates. His habit of complaining about their performance and barking orders at them eventually led the players of his former team to nickname him the "King of the Court", a constant reminder of the oppressive, egocentric attitude he demonstrated during his volleyball career in junior high.
