(He has no public SNS.)
Fun fact: He was able to watch Winners and Losers, the last Haikyuu!! stage play run Kimura Tatsunari was a part of. He was humbled to be given the role, especially since he has always seen Kimura Tatsunari as Kageyama Tobio personified.

Fun fact: He was only 19 when he was cast for the role of Tsukishima Kei. The cast treats him as their baby because he's the type to cry easily, in contrast to his character.

Fun fact: He also plays volleyball, which is fitting for his role as the captain of Karasuno. Another baby face - you'd never think that he's born in 1988! He also loves using those donut stickers on his photos.

Fun fact: He has looked up to Ino Hiroki and has always respected his portrayal of Sugawara Koushi. After they were both cast in Boku no Hero Academia's stage play (with Hiroki as Iida and Naoki as Kirishima), he's glad that they've gotten close!

Fun fact: He asked Arita Kenji (Ushijima's stage play actor) whether or not Kageyama and Hinata's freak quick is possible in real life - and to think he knows ACTUAL volleyball players (Keita/Shouri/Kousuke)!
