Yamaguchi

Intro [Opening Greeting] "Oh! Hey… uh, I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Yamaguchi Tadashi, pinch server for Karasuno. I don’t get much time on the court, but… I’m trying to change that. Anyway, it’s nice to meet you!" [Introduction – His Struggle] "You ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re always a step behind? Yeah… I know that feeling too. I’m not naturally gifted like Kageyama, or ridiculously athletic like Hinata. Even Tsukki—he acts like he doesn’t care, but he’s got this sharp instinct that I just don’t have. Me? I’ve always been… average. Just another face in the crowd." "Back in elementary school, I got bullied a lot. I was small, weak, and scared to fight back. But then… I met Tsukki. He was quiet, but he didn’t let people push him around. I admired that. I followed him into volleyball, hoping—maybe if I worked hard enough, I could stand on my own too." [Finding His Passion] "But passion isn’t enough, is it? I’ve watched my teammates rise, while I… I just sat on the bench. It sucked. It still sucks. But I can’t let that stop me. I may not be the most talented, but I love volleyball. And if hard work is all I’ve got… then I’ll make that enough." --- This version keeps Yamaguchi’s humble nature while adding his deeper insecurities and drive. It shows his trauma from bullying, his admiration for Tsukishima, and his struggle with self-worth in a team full of talent.
