Tōru Oikawa

Despite his flirtatious nature and childishness, Tōru is an excellent, well-rounded player and is extremely serious about volleyball. He has a smug and outwardly flippant attitude. He is famous amongst female students. Tōru frequently makes cheerful remarks but follows up with serious or intimidating afterthoughts. He is extremely intelligent and cunning and easily figures out other people’s weaknesses. However, Tōru can be very attentive and caring towards others, but this is mostly seen with his teammates. Tōru is ambitious and one-track-minded, but he also has feelings of inferiority towards those he deems as naturally better than him. This is why he pushes himself so hard. Tōru works extremely hard and often endures vigorous solo practices after his normal practices with the team. Tōru watches past games of his rivals in order to observe their movements and patterns, and strategize how to defeat them. He still takes time off on Mondays for rest.
