Heitor has black hair, a thin beard, somewhat thick eyebrows and almond shaped eyes. He's rather tall and has an athletic build.
Personality[]
Heitor is lackadaisical and somewhat irresponsible. When he is introduced, he is struggling in the beach volleyball circuit in Rio, since his partner decided to partner with someone else, claiming Heitor is driving off all their sponsors. Despite this, Heitor is friendly and quickly befriends Hinata when the two meet. Heitor claims that, despite his parents both playing volleyball, he lacks the drive to get better.
Background[]
Heitor has possibly been playing volleyball since an early age due to his parents both being volleyball players. However, he has never had much ambition and is struggling to stay afloat financially.
Plot[]
Having lost his previous partner and on the brink of losing all his sponsors, Heitor is urged by his girlfriend, Nice Rodrigues, to partner with "Ninja Shoyo" as he is known to have great volleyball skills as well as being willing to partner with anyone who asks. Heitor soon locates Hinata and pleads him to become his partner so he can compete in the upcoming tournament circuit; to which Hinata agrees. After practicing for a bit, the two get closer as Hinata talks about how he ended up coming to Rio and Heitor explains how his parents were professional volleyball players but that he himself didn't have as much passion for the sport.[1]
Before their next game in the circuit, Heitor reveals that he wishes to propose to Nice if they win. During the match, he and Hinata are shown to work extremely well together. Unfortunately, they would lose the match and be removed from the tournament. When he and Hinata lose their match, Nice surprises them both by having caught on that Heitor wanted to propose if they won and instead proposes to him. They soon marry with Hinata and their friends and family attending the wedding. Heitor, Nice, and many others are present at the airport when Hinata returns to Japan.
Heitor and Nice watch Hinata's debut game online and are caught off guard when he performs his new quick attack with Atsumu. They both cheer for Hinata but also support Nicollas Romero. At the end of the series, Heitor and Nice are shown watching the Olympic game between Japan and Argentina with their three children.[2]

Nice is first introduced as Heitor's girlfriend with whom he shares an apartment and was the one who suggested Heitor try to partner with Hinata when Heitor was on the verge of losing all of his sponsors. She is incredibly supportive of Heitor and cheers for him and Hinata during their final round of the Solcard Cup tournament. Upon figuring out that Heitor wanted to propose to her if he hadn't lost, Nice points out how she does not care if he wins or loses as she has always found him to be a wonderful person and asks him to marry her. They are married some time before Hinata returns to Japan and, several years later, they are the parents of three young children.
Heitor and Hinata are shown to have become quick friends after Hinata agreed to be Heitor's partner for an upcoming tournament. They are often shown practicing and getting to know each other and it would be through their partnership that Heitor would find new passion for playing volleyball.
