He seems to be overall good at spiking, receiving, and blocking.

When blocking, it's been shown that he can pressure his opponents to force the path of a spike.

Relationships

Tōru Oikawa

Like the other Aobajōsai 3rd years, he tends to pick fun at Oikawa. However, he does have a deep respect for his captain.

Takahiro Hanamaki

The two seem to be close friends, even among the four tight-knit third years of Seijō. They often join in or enjoy spectating Oikawa's mocking antics towards Iwaizumi, or tease Oikawa as well. Though both are of few words, they appear to be close with the other members of their team.
