کییومی ساکیوسا

Team: Itachiyama Academy (2nd Year)

Number: 10

He is Itachiyama's ace and is said to be the favorite to win the nationals. He is one of the top three aces of the country, along with Kiryuu and Ushijima. Appears to be calm and collected, but very competitive and proud at the same time. Sakusa is described as a very cautious player, who may analyze a toss before spiking, and this trait manifests itself in his daily habits as well. He claims to be a realist, which explains why he asks so many questions so he can assess situations.

Sakusa is a germaphobe, evident by the fact that he wanted to bathe first 'before anyone else contaminated the bath with their germs.' As such, he wears a mask to protect himself when not playing volleyball. He strongly dislikes crowds and would go to the back corner of the room or to an uncrowded place when there are too many people around him.

[Spoiler: Following his High School years he became an Outside Hitter for the MSBY Black Jackals, a team in Japan's top tier volleyball league (V.League Division 1). His number is 15.]
