He’s noted to be tall and lean with broad shoulders, well-built arms, and a muscular frame. He has narrow, hazel-colored eyes with cat-like pupils that make him appear sly and intimidating. His black hair is naturally messy and spikes upwards due to his bed head. He also has a fringe on his right side that partially covers his eye. As a result of his peculiar hairstyle, he is occasionally called "Rooster Head". Tetsuro has a laid-back yet scheming personality and is considered a "provocation expert" by many. He would actively provoke others and is unrelenting when dishing out snide remarks. However, he is kinder and more genuine than what his exterior image conveys. Tetsuro is also shown to be a highly observant and intuitive person when it comes to both volleyball and other people. Even as a kid, he was incredibly mindful of Kenma's quiet, withdrawn personality, and had the sense to not drag him out to do something the boy didn't have any fun in doing. Tetsuro is incredibly academic, and gets near-perfect grades. His favourite subject is chemistry, and he often makes unfunny periodic table jokes. He’s actually very considerate and thoughtful, constantly being aware of the people around him, and occasionally going above and beyond to improve their days. He will often tutor Kenma, just to be helpful. Also, he does not believe chivalry is dead, and always holds the door, walks on the side of the pavement closer to the road, and offers to carry things for girls (specifically his team’s club manager, who also happens to be the coach’s granddaughter). In matches, Tetsuro’s attentive nature as a middle blocker proves to be extremely lethal for Nekoma's opponents. He quickly tracks down and analyzes every move of the spikers, allowing him to put up a successful block and destroy the momentum of the opposing team. Around his teammates, he is a reliable, strong captain, often responsible for lifting the spirits of the team when they are feeling down using sly quips. He seems to derive enjoyment from facing strong opponents and hides his frustration with sharp smirks and boisterous remarks, all the while scheming strategies to break down the opposing team. Relationships: Kenma Kozume (Nekoma)- Kuroo moved into Kenma's neighborhood when they were young, and they gradually became close friends. Due to both of their shy and withdrawn nature, the two ended up playing video games in silence until Kenma asked what Kuroo wanted to do one day. Kuroo suggested playing volleyball, and Kenma joined in despite his initial disappointment over it not being a video game. Once Kuroo began opening up more, Kenma realized that there is indeed a loud guy underneath it all. Kuroo remained close with Kenma even after joining a new volleyball club, making new friends, and becoming more outgoing. He continued to be understanding of Kenma's reserved personally and respected the latter's wishes to not participate in certain activities. Eventually, Kenma decided to join the junior high volleyball in his first year, as a setter, because Kuroo said that setter’s were like masterminds. The two are still best friends, now being in high school. Kotaro Bokuto (Fukurodani) - Kuroo and Bokuto are good friends, know each other quite well, and often team up in their antics. Although Kuroo is more sensible than Bokuto, and will sometimes fool around with him, they often share similar reactions to events unfolding before them. He and Bokuto have a rather competitive relationship, though mostly trivial, and enjoy each other's company. Kuroo practices with Bokuto and Akaashi at the training camp despite being on different teams, suggesting that they must have known each other for a while. From how long they've known each other, Kuroo is highly aware of Bokuto's abilities and strength as a volleyball player and knows how dangerous he can be when in peak condition. Morisuke Yaku (Nekoma) - The two originally started off on bad terms due to Kuroo having once lost to Yaku and his team in a middle school tournament. As a result, they often clashed as first years at Nekoma. In contrast to Yaku, Kuroo prefers fish, girls with long hair, sweet curry, Mikasa volleyballs, going to the sea during the summer, dogs, and Japanese-style cuisine (however, it's unclear if he said some of those things so that he would oppose Yaku or if they are truly things he prefers). As third years now, they have a strong relationship and of trust and even some mutual respect. Yaku is Kuroo’s tritagonist of sorts. Kei Tsukishima (Karasuno) - Kuroo constantly teases Tsukishima while the latter is neutrally respectful towards him, occasionally looking towards Kuroo for inspiration. Kuroo taught Tsukishima many proper blocking techniques during the training camp and gave him advice on how to improve. Kuroo was the first to notice that Tsukishima felt inferior to Hinata during the summer training camp and would later apologize to Daichi for upsetting the middle blocker when he unintentionally hurt his feelings. Because of how much he would help Tsukishima, Kuroo became known as his mentor. Suguru Daishou (Nohebi) - As captains of two schools in the same prefecture (Nohebi Academy & Nekoma High), Daishou and Kuroo are longtime rivals, who enjoy mocking each other. Tetsuro and Suguru have known each other for several years and usually seem to bicker any time they meet. They also seem to have mutual respect as they acknowledge their respective teams' abilities and have challenged each other to meet at the Spring High finals. Somehow, Tetsuro knows a bit about Suguru's personal life, including his breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Mika. Suguru is definitely the very best of the best when it comes to irritating Tetsuro. Daichi Sawamura (Karasuno) - Though he sometimes teases Sawamura for his team being the one to do the most penalties during the training camps, Kuroo and Sawamura respect each other and share a desire to have their teams play against one another at Nationals. They are both seen having to keep an eye on their underclassmen on occasion. They are both very similar, and like to throw a little passive, yet irritating trash talk when they shake hands before a game. Nobuyuki Kai (Nekoma) - Kai became fast friends with both Kuroo and Yaku during their time as first-years at Nekoma, and he’s shown to have been amused by their antics since before they officially joined the volleyball team. When playing together, they are shown to have great faith in one another and a strong sense of teamwork. Shoyo Hinata (Karasuno) - Kuroo first meets Hinata when he found Kenma after the setter got lost. During the practice match between Nekoma and Karasuno, Kuroo would taunt Hinata about his height but recognized that he was faster than Inuoka and able to give him a hard time. During the summer training camps, he is friendlier to Hinata and would at times share blocking advice during free practices. Kuroo acknowledges Hinata as an opponent to be cautious of despite his lack of experience and short stature. Kuroo also seems to hold a certain level of gratitude toward Hinata for being a friend that Kenma was able to make on his own and noticed how Hinata's love for volleyball and strive to get better impacted others around him.
