Hosimi Kourai is short at 169.2cm, but has one of the best jumping abilities of all the players. In the story, he was selected to attend the All Japan Men's Youth National Team training camp, which Kageyama also attended, so there's no doubt that he is a talented player. However, since there are no game scenes, it's difficult to judge just how strong he is, which is why he was ranked this low. However, he already holds the title of "Little Giant," which Hinata admires, and there are high expectations for him, so he is a player to watch in the future.

Akaashi Keiji's strength and weapon is his calmness, which allows him to control his captain, Bokuto, well. Of course, his skills as a setter are excellent, but his strengths lie in his ability to control the inconsistent Bokuto, tossing the ball at the best possible time to help the ace perform at his best, and praising and encouraging him to improve. His ability to grasp not only the state of the game, but also the condition of the opponent or enemy is a subtle yet powerful feature.
