Haikyuu


     

                      What is Haikyuu all about? 

 Haikyuu is all about volleyball based on the manga series which focuses on Hinata Shoyo, a small boy with BIG Dreams. After watching THE LITTLE GIANT play in the Nationals, he quickly fell in love with volleyball and dreamt to be like him when he grows up. Despite being short with a height of 162.8cm, he still manages to JUMP HIGH and move QUICKER than the rest. In his 1st year at Karasuno High (where THE LITTLE GIANT studied), he met Kageyama Tobio, his old rival during his first match in middle school. They disliked each other at first but they became good friends eventually. They soon developed a game strategy called The Weird Quick Attack, which became their weapon to beat their opponents.

Karasuno or THE CROWS. They were nicknamed THE FLIGHTLESS CROWS OR THE FALLEN CHAMPIONS when they lost contact with every other team since their original Coach Ukai had retired. They lost almost every match but gradually they beat the other teams to earn again the name of THE CHAMPIONS.
