Shoyo Hinata is the protagonist of Haikyu!!, Haruichi Furudate's volleyball manga. He takes up the sport after watching the "Little Giant", a 170 cm Karasuno High player, and enrols at Karasuno to follow him, where he runs into Tobio Kageyama, the setter who beat him in middle school. Hinata plays middle blocker at a listed 162 cm.
What makes Shoyo Hinata stand out
-
A middle blocker at 162 cm.
The position normally belongs to the tallest player on court. Hinata gets there on speed and a jump that lets him meet the ball above the block, which is why so many of his figures are posed mid-air.
-
The setter who started as a rival.
Kageyama is the opponent he lost to in his last middle-school match, and then the setter on his own team. The two have to learn to play together first.
-
The Little Giant is the model.
Hinata's reason for choosing Karasuno is a short former player who stood out as the team's ace. The character is built out of that ambition rather than out of size.
-
Orange hair, and never still.
Spiky orange hair and a permanent grin identify him in every format here, from a palm-size figure to a Nendoroid to a plush.
