They often left him out specifically and made him run longer than the other members did. When he joined the boy's volleyball team in high school, Kenma thought of quitting at first because of the uneasy relationship he had with the third years at the time. Kenma later joined the junior high volleyball club where he received the number 4 on the team. Eventually, Kuroo convinced him to come with him to a practice session and even convinced him to be a setter by telling him of the setter position that seemed like it would be a good fit for a strategist like Kenma and also didn't require much movement although Kenma would later learn this wasn't entirely true. Kuroo was timid, but excited, as he introduced Kenma to volleyball.Īlthough Kenma did not like sports back then, he found that volleyball was somewhat fun and especially enjoyed watching games on discs that Kuroo would have. Then one day, Kenma asked Kuroo if he had something in mind that he had wanted to play. Though the two seemingly had little in common besides their age, they spent a lot of time together which at first had mostly consisted of playing video games. His only friend back then was Kuroo, who was around his age and lived next door. When Kenma was younger, he was shy and unable to make friends on his own. Even after being a successful stock trader, pro-gamer, Youtuber & the CEO of his own company, he doesn't spend his money lavishly except for video games and sponsoring Hinata during his time in Brazil. Kenma is also shown to be quite competitive.Īfter the time skip, Kenma can be described as having a good head on his shoulders. However, despite having a tough time admitting his feelings, the real motivation behind his continuation of volleyball is his friends. Although he seems somewhat apathetic about it, Kenma is the type of person to only do things he enjoys, and would therefore quit volleyball if he didn't enjoy it somewhat which according to him was the aspect of improving his skills in the same sense as a video game. Another can be seen later in the manga when he admits that he tries hard to win for his friends.ĭespite his modest personality, Kenma is quite skilled in volleyball with his extraordinary game sense, technique, and strong strategic abilities, which make up for his lack of power, speed, and stamina.
Kenma noticed this feeling and, despite not caring for volleyball, asked if Kuroo would like to practice and "level up" to which he agreed eagerly. An example is when they were younger, Kuroo's team had badly lost a volleyball match and was feeling down. However, it is shown that he does care about his friends and notices small upsets in their behavior. Kenma rarely tends to show many emotions which usually causes him to look like he is giving a cold impression to others. He also is not fond of the authority that comes with being an upperclassman and doesn't expect his juniors to automatically respect him often reminding Lev that he does not need to be so formal with him.
His shy tendencies also prevent him from being very approachable and because of this, he has a difficult time making friends with Kuroo being stated to have been the only friend he's made since elementary school. He rarely loses his temper, and usually does not get too excited or fired-up about most things with a few exceptions being video games, Hinata, Lev - in The Arrival of Haiba Lev (OVA), and Yamamoto during their first years in high school.īecause of his reserved nature, Kenma does not often voice his opinions since he is afraid of what others might think of him and does not like standing out or being noticed in any way. Kenma usually has a quiet, composed and analytical personality. Sometime after the events of the Spring Tournament, Kenma has allowed his hair to grow slightly longer and is returning to its natural dark color though still has some blond left. As shown in a Haikyuu! extra, Yamamoto claimed he looked like Sadako while gaming with his black hair covering his face, much to Kenma's dismay. He had dyed his hair in his first year of high school, claiming that he did not want to "stand out".

He is usually seen carrying a portable game console and a cellphone with him. He dresses casually, and his Nekoma uniform is the standard black and red jersey.
