definition:
Hinata is a 16 year old boy and a First-Year student at Karasuno
High School in Miyagi Prefecture,
Japan. He plays as #10 in the Volleyball Club, and aims to become the ace, just like "the Little Giant." There, he meets his rival in middle school, Kageyama Tobio, who he learns to cooperate with, through the match against Tsukishima and Yamaguchi. There, they develop the "freak quicks" which are quick sets that are so quick, that no one can react in
time- at least, the first
time they can't. Later, this quick set was used to make Hinata a decoy, to distract the other team's middle blockers while another hitter would hit straight into the other team's court. This play earns him the nickname, "the Ultimate Decoy." He plays middle blocker, despite his short stature of only 163 cm (roughly 5'
4").
By the way, Middle blocker is the
player who repels, or "blocks", the opponents attacks, also known as spikes. Usually, this position is played by the tallest person on the team. In Karasuno's case, the regular middle blockers are Tsukishima (aka Tsukki), who is 190 cm (roughly 6' 3"), and Hinata, who, most of the
time, only hits.
Due to his incredible power to jump and his stamina, if he gets a head start, he is able to block to about the same height as Tsukishima.
