Revision as of 02:01, 20 September 2020
was a third-year student at Inarizaki High School and one of the volleyball team's wing spikers. He was one of the top aces in Japan, and filled that role in his team. Much like Kōtarō Bokuto, he was just outside of being in the country's top 3. It has been noted that if he were even in reasonably good condition, he would probably make the cut.
As of November 2018, he is an outside hitter for the Tachibana Red Falcons, a professional volleyball team in Division 1 of Japan's V-League. He is also a member of Japan's National Volleyball Team, and participated in the 2021 Olympics.
Appearance
Aran has a dark-brown clean-cut and thick eyebrows. He's fairly tall and has a muscular, athletic build. His eyes are almond shaped and have fox like pupils; In the manga, his eyes are colored gold/brown and in the anime they're a grey-ish green.
Personality
Aran is shown to be a mature, third-year student. He is in class five, so it can be assumed that he is rather intelligent. Despite his mature appearance, Aran is often stuck dealing with his teammates' antics and, as such, is roped into playing a 'tsukkomi', - straight man - like in mansai comedy routines, as he reacts to whoever is acting as the 'boke', or funny man; he is always quick to react to nonsensical things his teammates say with comebacks, such as "what does that even mean?!" Aran believes that you don't need logic to feel things such as happiness - and he's quick to snap that at Kita when he wonders whether him becoming the captain is just a side-effect of his everyday actions or is a result, saying that you don't need a reason to feel what you feel, if you're happy you're happy, and that's that. Since he has known the twins since they were 10/11, he knows them extremely well. Despite this meaning he also is aware of how they brawl and have their differences better than anybody, Aran has nothing but faith in both them and their relationship - this shows he's a very faithful person who sees the best in things. It's also shown that Aran makes references to old movies, or series', as seen in his introduction post-timeskip when he makes a joke about Sazae-san, an animated TV-series from 1969.
Background
Around fifth grade, Aran took part in a volleyball workshop where he first met the Miya brothers, Osamu and Atsumu, who were both fourth-graders at that time. He had overheard them talking of how they thought he was cool but quickly heard that they actually thought his foreign sounding name was cool. Over the years, Aran would witness the competitive nature of the Miya twins though admits that Atsumu seemed to be the more frightening one of the two.

Anime
Manga
Manga (Timeskip) - "In the end... I think Atsumu's biggest blessing isn't his physical talents or mental abilities - it's that he's got Osamu. It doesn't matter if they plow on ahead faster than others can keep up... the other twin will always be there, right by the other's side. Yeah, they may annoy the crap outta each other sometimes, but I'm sure the more they clash, the better they'll make each other." (To himself about the Miya Twins, )AnimeMangaManga (Timeskip)
