Kei Tsukishima

Kei Tsukishima (Tsukishima Kei) is a first year at Karasuno High School; he is a middle blocker in the Karasuno High Volleyball Club and is the younger brother of Akiteru Tsukishima. Tsukishima is very tall and has an average build for a volleyball player. Despite being a first year, he is the tallest player in Karasuno, standing at 188.3 cm. He has short blond hair and golden brown eyes. He is often seen with a frown or condescending smirk on his face.

After joining the Karasuno volleyball team, during games, Tsukishima wears Karasuno's black, orange, and white uniform with the number 11 on the back. In addition, Tsukishima wears knee pads, and white and green volleyball shoes. He is also the only player on the Karasuno team who wears glasses. Since Chapter 109, Tsukishima started wearing prescription sports glasses (a gift from his older brother, Akiteru) in the matches. Outside of matches and practice, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno male uniform, and white headphones around his neck.

Tsukishima is very blunt and has a habit of riling people up (usually Hinata, Kageyama, and even his senpais Tanaka and Nishinoya). He dislikes “hot-blooded people” and doesn’t like to exert too much effort due to the past experiences of his older brother. Aside from others like Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi, he has little to no respect for his other teammates and is shown to be quite irritated at having to be close to them (seen as Karasuno huddled up to build up their spirits and again when he expressed disgust in having to stay with the team during training camp). He can even be rude to Yamaguchi which really shows his spiteful personality. The second years think of him as someone with a warped personality.
