Акитеру Тсукишима (яп.: 月島明光 Tsukishima Akiteru)— старший брат Тсукишимы Кея и выпускник старшей школы Карасуно.
Внешность
У Акитеру короткие волосы медового цвета (тёмно-русые в аниме) и карие глаза. Рост Акитеру составляет 185.2 см, всего на несколько сантиметров ниже младшего брата. Также у него среднее телосложение и широкие плечи. Вес у него на 11.1 кг больше, чем у брата, хоть Акитеру и ниже на 4.9 см. Манера поведения у него достаточно дружелюбна (в отличие от брата).
Обычно он носит футболки, толстовки (худи) или кофты с джинсами, и в новеле он надевает костюм на работу.
Во время волейбольных матчей и тренировок, Акитеру забинтовывает все свои пальцы.
Личность
Акитеру добрый, веселый и дружелюбный. Однако кажется, что он не хочет обременять дорогих ему людей своими проблемами, беззаботно отмахиваясь от них. Он выражает свою печаль и огорчение, когда никто не видит. Однажды, он всё-таки достиг точки кипения.
Несмотря на всё это, он очень решительный и легко никогда не сдаётся, и как однажды было сказано, у него "неукротимый дух". Он не любит разочаровывать людей, особенно в себе.
Акитеру постоянно всех мотивирует и поддерживает, а также очень сильно заботится о своих близких. Акитеру также может быть очень проницательным, особенно когда дело касается его младшего брата.
Также, Акитеру может проявлять немного задиристый и подкалывающий нрав, но, в отличие от своего брата, имеющего более антагонистический характер, его поддразнивания воспринимаются как более игривые и добродушные.
Предыстория
В средней школе Акитеру был капитаном и асом волейбольного клуба мальчиков Амемару. Несмотря на это, его можно было назвать довольно опытным. Он принял решение пойти в старшую школу Карасуно и присоединиться к волейбольному клубу с намерением победить Шираторизаву и выйти на национальные. Акитеру провел свой первый год, оставаясь после тренировки каждый день, поскольку его целью было стать первокурсником основного состава (first-year regular). Он был настолько предан тренировкам, что его мать каждый день делала ему 3 бенто - один после утренней тренировки, один на обед и один перед работой в клубе во второй половине дня.
However, no matter how much Akiteru practiced and worked hard, he never made it as a starting member, or even on the bench. Akiteru never gave up, but because of how much his little brother looked up to him, Akiteru couldn't bring himself to tell his little brother the truth and told Kei he was playing in matches. One day, when they were practicing in their backyard, Kei asked if he could come watch a match but Akiteru told him he'd get too nervous with Kei watching. Kei then asks what position Akiteru still plays and if it's the same one from middle school. Akiteru tells him yes, and Kei assumes he's the ace because of this. Unable to disappoint his little brother, and maybe fearing losing his little brother's unwavering belief in him, Akiteru goes along with it. However, it is implied that Akiteru believed it to be true that he really could become the ace if he worked hard enough.
He and Kei would talk about volleyball every day, and Akiteru would tell Kei what the coach had scolded or praised him for that day. Akiteru would also describe matches to Kei in detail.
But as his high school days go past, Akiteru never gets any closer to being a regular, unbeknownst to Kei. When he comes back from a practice match, he tells Kei he hit a lot of spikes, however the expression he hides from Kei tells that Akiteru's frustration and pain, as well as the guilt from having to lie to Kei are starting to take it's toll.
On Akiteru's last match of his high school career, Kei secretly showed up to the match with Yamaguchi and another classmate who's brother is also part of Karasuno to support Akiteru. However, Kei was quick to learn the truth and spotted his brother across the court in the bleachers, cheering on the team with the rest of the members that didn't make it as regulars either. Akiteru is horrified that his brother discovered how disgraceful he really was.
After, Akiteru had an emotional breakdown in his room, tearing his posters and knocking his volleyball trophies from middle school off his shelves, as well as several books and magazines and even the chair at his desk. Kei witnessed Akiteru hunched over on the floor of his room, gripping his Karasuno Volleyball Club jacket and sobbing.
Сюжет
Арка экспедиция в Токио
Akiteru first appears in Tanaka's flashback of his sister talking to him about how Akiteru was on the same team as the Small Giant. Sometime later, as Kei's going through his change, he thinks of Akiteru and the agony he went through in high school. Kei remembers his brother tearing his room apart in anger and reveals that he'd learned from Akiteru's experience to never put in so much effort for a simple sport like volleyball.
A week after the summer camp ends, the day before the Spring High Preliminaries, Kei comes home from practice to find his brother there. Akiteru comments on how much Kei has grown and how he surpassed him a long time ago. The two go outside to talk and it's revealed that Kei hasn't spoken to Akiteru in a while because whenever Akiteru is home, Kei holes himself up in his room unless it's mealtime.
Akiteru asks Kei about his trip to Tokyo and if the camp was rough, which Kei denies but Akiteru can tell by his expression. Silence then falls between them, and Akiteru starts tossing a volleyball against the backboard of the basketball hoop. Both brothers flash back to a moment in the past when Akiteru went along with Kei's assumption of him being the ace while doing exactly what they were doing presently, the memory weighing heavy on both of them. Eventually, Kei breaks the silence and asks Akiteru if he's still playing. Akiteru tells him yes and reveals that he has a volleyball team which goes to tournaments as well. Despite Kei not saying anymore, Akiteru knew the real question Kei wanted to ask: "Why are you still playing even thought it was like that in high school?" Akiteru explains that despite still feeling frustration whenever he thinks about it and how he can't even see it as a good life lesson, what happened in high school didn't discouraged him from volleyball; rather, it only motivated him to continue playing, because he already knew what made volleyball "fun." He tells Kei that he wants to be somewhere where he can give his all until he's satisfied, and Kei smiles at that, making Akiteru smile as well and the brothers share their first peaceful moment in years.
Akiteru eventually turns back to Kei and asks about his tournament the next day, and is impressed at Kei being a first-year regular, but Kei tells him he believes he's only a regular because of his height. Akiteru quickly scolds him and tells him that his height is something to be proud of, and can be an advantage since high school boys are still growing and their plays are imperfect because of this.
Kei makes a smart comment at this, and Akiteru scolds him again for being uncute.
Арка отборочных на весенний этап
Akiteru stays at home with his mother while Kei goes to his preliminary matches. When his mother asks him if Akiteru is okay with not watching Kei play, Akiteru tells her he told Kei he was thinking about going, but Kei gave him a sour look. Akiteru then suddenly remembers something and turns to ask his mother about Kei's glasses; However, the scene cut off before Akiteru could explain.
When Kei comes home from his match, Akiteru greets him and asks about how the match went and what the opponents were like. After hearing his brother's almost defeatist attitude towards the first year who was over 2m tall because he believed a loss was inevitable against someone like that, Akiteru invites Kei to practice with his team sometime.
Kei eventually takes him up on his offer. At training, Kei goes against Gō Akaizawawho teases him for his weak blocks. Akiteru quickly challenges him and assures that his brother will be able to block Gō. Kei does succeed, annoying Gō and amazing Akiteru.
Before the play-offs in October, Akiteru gives Kei sports glasses as a gift and encouraging words. Kei thinks of these before he puts his sports glasses on to play.
Despite Kei telling Akiteru to not attend his matches, the latter sneaks into the Shiratorizawa vs. Karasuno match with a disguise on. Saeko quickly spots him and exposes his disguise though, causing Kei to glare at his brother from the court. Akiteru quickly ducks behind the railings, avoiding Kei's line of view. It's unknown if Kei really did realise Akiteru was there at this time. He then sits with Shimada, Takinoue, Yachi, and Saeko as the teams start to line up and cheers on Karasuno.
During the announcements for the starting lineups for Shiratorizawa and Karasuno, Saeko calls out Kei's name when he's announced for Akiteru. Akiteru whispers at her to stop, out of fear that his brother might notice him there. As the game starts, Akiteru confirms with the others that Karasuno will have to play five sets and they start worrying about the team's stamina. Saeko quickly exclaims that they can't lose faith already.
Kei calls out to Tanaka to recieve the ball but he says it too quietly for Tanaka to hear, resulting in a campfire with him and Asahi. Akiteru scolds Kei to be louder, although it seems as if Akiteru is saying it to himself as he's still trying to not let Kei know he's there.
Saeko notices Ushijima is a left-hander, and Takinoue explains Ushijima's position as "opposite hitter". Akiteru comments, rather solemnly, that in the past they used to give the title of "Super Ace" to those in Ushijima's position.
Kei misses a block, and a spectator makes an insulting comment, causing Akiteru to growl and shoot him a dirty look, leaving the spectator surprised that Akiteru even heard him despite being 4 rows ahead.
When Saeko expresses concern that a spike from Ushijima is impossible to recieve if Nishinoya can't do it, Akiteru explains that it's hard to receive a ball hit by a lefty compared to a righty due to the difference in ball rotation and how the slightest bit of difference will produce a huge shift. When Saeko and Yachi express concern about facing a left-handed spiker with those who are used to "righties," Akiteru tells them that Kei isn't the sort of player who moves on instinct because he doesn't trust in his own strength or senses. Saeko scolds him for saying such a thing about his brother, but Akiteru replies that he means it in a good way, proudly boasting about his brother's dispassionate personality and how because of that, the only thing Kei trusts is the information he has in front of him.
When Nishinoya is finally able to recieve the ball, Akiteru expresses awe, describing him as amazing. He is also impressed by Daichi's strategy of rebounding off the blocker's hands. When Hinata is rotated onto the court, Akiteru comments that he really is a "small giant", to which Saeko corrects as "more like a small giant in the making." Akiteru also expresses disbelief when he witnesses Tendou's blocking ability. Combining that with Ushijima's ability, Akiteru claims Shiratorizawa really does feel like "an opponent beyond all reason." Kei is finally put on the court and when he blocks Tendou's spike, Akiteru cheers proudly with the others, and again when Kei puts in the final piece of the "total defense" towards the end of the second set. However, he seems to become concerned again when Shiratorizawa catches up and equals the score again. Akiteru begins to start noticing a change in Kei's attitude and behaviour, although he can't quite put his finger on what it is exactly. Yachi notices his concern, and tells Akiteru that Kei seems he's more fired up than usual, when he usually acts so cool. Akiteru is inwardly surprised that Kei seems to have other friends at school besides Tadashi. Later on, Akiteru becomes impressed when Tanaka performs a blockout, and concerned but just as impressed when Reon made a strong serve at this point in the game like it was nothing. Karasuno gets ahead, and after a time out, Kageyama messes up the serve and Akiteru expresses inward concern that if Karasuno loses this set, they'll be in a really tight spot. After seeing Kageyama and Hinata in action in a really improbable situation, he comments that when it comes to things beyond all reason, their own side is no different (referencing his previous statement about Shiratorizawa.)
When Kei manages to block Ushijima for the first time, winning the second set for Karasuno, Akiteru is proud beyond belief. After Karasuno cheer for and praise Kei, Akiteru bursts into tears. Saeko assumes it's because he's happy his little brother made a block like that, but Akiteru reveals he's happy that Kei is finally fitting in with his team. After he recovers, he notes that Kei was able to block Ushijima because Shirabu's toss was probably off, and Kei was the one who may have caused that disruption, meaning it wasn't a split-second super play like Saeko claimed she thought it was, but something Kei had been planning and anticipating. Yachi then comments on how Kei is smart so he always seems like he's thinking about things, in both volleyball and life in general. Akiteru apologizes for his younger brother's eccentricities, which others may find weird but inwardly blames himself for it. However, Yachi adds that just now, Kei must have only been thinking about stopping that one spike single-mindedly, as if he was solving a difficult question on a test. Akiteru thoughtfully agrees, reassured by Yachi's words.
Shiratorizawa starts well in the 3rd set, and Saeko wonders if they're "revving up again". Akiteru explains that it's more like they've leveled out, returning to their own pace from the fast rhythm Karasuno had pulled them in. Towards the end of the 3rd set, Akiteru overhears a spectator comment that it really is impossible for Karasuno, but he rebutts it, saying Karasuno's offensive power it just as good, the only thing left is pulling off a break somehow.
As Takinoue, Shimada and Akiteru are explaining Kawanishi's blocking tactic to Saeko during a time-out in the 4th set, the former Coach Ukai shows up, commenting that they should've put that level of thought into their plays in the past. Akiteru, Shimada, and Takinoue quickly greet their former coach with fear. Later, Akiteru seems to notice something strange when Ushijima spikes through Kei's and Asahi's block, but it's not said outloud what it is exactly (although in context with Yachi's comment, it could be about Kei's frustration levels.) When Tanaka is forced to attack with a high set from the back, Akiteru comments that it'll be tough, proven when Tendou easily blocks Tanaka. Akiteru becomes impressed when Hinata uses a running approach for a block, commenting that he honestly thought he was going to spike it instead and later becomes annoyed when Kawanishi snatches back a point like it was nothing. Towards the end of the set, Kei pulls off a one-man time differential, and Akiteru explains it's a technique not seen much nowadays and that it's no good against read blocking so it's not something you can pull of multiple times, leading Saeko to conclude that Kei was waiting for a time when they absolutely needed to score to use it. Takinoue later points out Ushijima still seems to be spiking with ease, but Akiteru comments that his legs must be getting tired from hitting a lot, to which Shimada agrees. When Yunohama is swapped in with Kawanishi, Yachi wonders if Shiratorizawa has 2 pinch servers, which Akiteru tells her it is Shiratorizawa and that they probably have plenty of top-class players on the bench. Ushijima scores a net-in when the score reaches a deuce and Akiteru expresses both disbelief and frustration. When Kageyama tosses to Hinata, causing Tendou to block it out and win a point for Karasuno, Akiteru seems extremely impressed by Kageyama's skills as a setter, even though Akiteru himself felt Kageyama should have let the left-hand hitter handle it instead, but coach Ukai senior tells him it was because Kageyama was making a "silent boast." Akiteru becomes impressed by Kageyama again when Kageyama uses a soft shot in his serve when the opposition defense moved back. When Karasuno finally take the 4th set, Akiteru is almost trembling with excitement and relief along with the others.
After the 5th set starts, Akiteru explains to Saeko it's a 15-point set, meaning it'll take no time at all and hopes Karasuno are able to keep going without falling behind a point gap. A few points into the 5th set, Akiteru frustratingly observes to himself that they've been tossing to Ushijima a lot more since he got into gear. A little later, Akiteru is impressed by Kei's level of concentration despite being tired due to the long rally. He points out that it's not unusual for one's body to move faster than the mind, yet Kei only seems to be singling out the information he needs. However, Kei suddenly gets injured right after and is taken off the court to go to the infirmary. Akiteru goes to his brother out of concern, who asks what Akiteru is doing there (although he reveals he knew all along) to which Akiteru boastfully replies that of course he'd come see his little brother in all his glory. To ease the tense atmosphere, Akiteru makes a joke about the injury not seeming to be life-threating, which Kei brushes off, turning his back to his brother and acting pretty casual and care-free about the situation. However, Akiteru can still tell it's bothering him and that he's afraid Karasuno will lose without him there. He reassures Kei to believe that his team can win, even without him. Akiteru ends up waiting with Kei and Kiyoko in the infirmary. Once Kei returns to the court, Akiteru follows him and watches the rest of the match by the doors.
In the end, Karasuno wins and advances to the Spring Cup. A proud Akiteru is shown excitedly pointing out his younger brother to a stranger next to him.

Отношения
Кей Тсукишима
Kei is his younger brother who is currently in Karasuno's Volleyball Club. The brothers used to be very close and adored each other. Kei used to look up to Akiteru as his hero and because of this, Akiteru is the reason for both Kei's initial interest in volleyball and current attitude towards it, namely the idea that one should not put too much effort into his club activities because he will only end up getting hurt in the end.
Akiteru is very caring towards Kei and often taught his brother volleyball skills in his free time. Akiteru also seems to be rather protective, as he lied to Kei to keep him from being disappointed and let down, and possibly losing interest in volleyball. However, their relationship was damaged when Kei discovered the truth. Since then, Kei would avoid talking to Akiteru and whenever the latter came home from college, Kei would lock himself in his room until dinnertime. However, despite his cold attitude, Kei cares for his older brother deeply, as he took Akiteru's pain as his own to serve as a reminder everyday of what effort and hard work can do to someone. His care also shows by him acting less sardonic and antagonistic towards his older brother than he is with most other people, and when Akiteru's encouraging words as he gave his little brother the sports glasses were enough to motivate Kei.
Akiteru is very proud of Kei and is incredibly supportive towards him, always believing in him and ready to stand up for Kei and his capabilities whenever someone doubts him, even to the point of protectiveness if insulted. Akiteru can also seem to read Kei and tell what he's thinking or if he's lying, or at the very least, when he has a change of behavior or attitude just by his expression or body language alone, no matter how subtle. Akiteru also seems to be a little teasing towards Kei sometimes, but it's very light-hearted and good-natured.
However, Akiteru is secretly always wondering what Kei thinks about him and seems very hesitant to do anything he thinks might upset him i.e. going to the games when told not to or when Akiteru tried to finish work quickly so he could pick Kei up on time, afraid that Kei would not want to come to training again if Akiteru was late. He largely blames himself for Kei's cautious attitude which can cause him to overthink and is determined to make up for it.
It's implied that they seem to share the same interest in dinosaurs, at least when Akiteru was younger, as dinosaur figurines similar to Kei's can be seen in Akiteru's room. It's also implied Akiteru thinks of Kei as "cute" or seems to expect it, despite Kei now being a 190cm tall high school boy, and gets annoyed when Kei acts "uncute."
After the summer camp in Tokyo, the brothers finally talked to each other about their past and reconciled based on it. They are now slowly putting their relationship back together.
Маленький Гигант
Акитеру был в той же волейбольной команде, что и Маленький Гигант, на протяжении старшей школы, но Маленький Гигант был младше его на год. В то время как Акитеру провел свой третий год в старшей школе на трибунах болельщиков, Маленький Гигант, будучи второгодкой, стал асом команды. Так или иначе, знали ли они друг друга лично или нет, неизвестно; однако Акитеру упоминал Маленького Гиганта, когда наблюдал за игрой Хинаты, сказав, что тот действительно как «Маленький гигант».
Также на протяжении матча против Шираторизавы Акитеру. объяснял, что позиция Ушиджимы была известна как «Супер Ас» в прошлом, и Маленький Гигант, в свою очередь, будучи второгодкой, был известен как «Маленький Супер Ас».
Саеко Танака
Они вместе учились в Старшей Карасуно, но Акитеру был старше неё на год. Несмотря на то, что Саеко не была членом волейбольной команды и не была знакома с ним лично, она знала, что Акитеру был членом клуба. Однако, когда они встретились на матче Шираторизавы против Карасуно, не было ясно, узнала ли его Саеко или нет.
Во время матча Академии Шираторизавы против Старшей Карасуно, Саеко заметила подозрительно одетого Акитеру и привела его к Шимаде и Такиное, назвав его шпионом Шираторизавы. После того, как недопонимание было улажено, Акитеру остался с Саеко и на протяжении матча объяснял ей волейбольные тактики.
Го Акаизава
Akaizawa is the oldest member of Akiteru's current team, the Kaji Wild Dogs. Akiteru likes to tease him by challenging Akaizawa with his little brother, telling him that Kei will be knocking down his spikes before he knows it and in the 5th light novel, that his little brother hates to lose. In the 5th light novel he describes Akaizawa as an annoying old man, but someone who likes to be relied upon and is a good senpai at heart. He asks Akaizawa advice on where to find sports glasses for Kei.
Тадаши Ямагучи
While they haven't interacted so far, it is implied that they do know each other personally. Yamaguchi refers to him as "Akiteru-kun" while Akiteru calls him "Tadashi" and knows he's his little brother's only friend. Akiteru was also the indirect reason his little brother and Yamaguchi became friends. Yamaguchi was also there when Kei found out the truth about Akiteru because he came with Kei to see Akiteru play for the first time. Yamaguchi is also aware that Kei stating "pathetic" at that time was not directed towards Akiteru.
