Biography
First appearance: Chapter 1
Shoyo Hinata is the heart and spark plug of Karasuno High. Inspired by Karasuno's legendary 'Little Giant' whom he watched on TV during elementary school, Hinata refused to let his short stature limit his dreams. After arriving at Karasuno, he teamed up with his middle-school rival Tobio Kageyama to unleash the legendary 'Freak-Quick' attack. Over the course of the Interhigh, Tokyo Training Camp, and the Spring Tournament, Hinata expands his arsenal to include soft blocks, open-tempo receives, diagonal cut shots, and beach volleyball fundamentals in Brazil.
