Kei Tsukishima (Japanese: 月島蛍 Tsukishima Kei) is a first year at Karasuno High School; he is a middle blocker in the Karasuno High Volleyball Club and is the younger brother of Akiteru Tsukishima.

Appearance

Tsukishima is very tall and has an average build for a volleyball player. Despite being a first year, he is the tallest player on Karasuno. He has short blond hair, and his eyes are golden brown. He is often seen with a frown on his face.

After joining the Karasuno volleyball team during games, Tsukishima wears Karasuno's black, orange, and white uniform with the number 11 on the back. Also, Tsukishima wears knee pads and white and green volleyball shoes. He is also the only player on the Karasuno team who wears glasses. In Chapter 109 of the manga, Tsukishima starts wearing prescription sports glasses in their match.

Outside of matches and practice, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno male uniform. Also, he wears headphones around his neck.

Personality

Tsukishima is very blunt and has a habit of riling people up (usually Hinata, Kageyama, even his senpai Tanaka and Nishinoya). He dislikes “hot-blooded people” and doesn’t like to exert too much effort due to the past experiences of his older brother. Aside from others like Daichi, Sugawara and Asahi, he has little to no respect for his other teammates and is shown to be quite irritated having to be close to them (seen as Karasuno huddled up to build up their spirits and again when he expressed disgust in having to stay with the team during training camp). He can even be rude to Yamaguchi (the person closest to him) which really shows his spiteful personality. The second-years thinks of him as someone with a warped personality.

Tsukishima is shown to be proficient at blocking. It has been said by Kenma that he was a calm and collected blocker who thoroughly thought his actions through, quite contrary to Hinata's behavior. He's also been known to throw out some feints to surprise and off-balance his opponents.

Following the events of the Summer Training Camp Arc:

While at first he shows little passion or interest in improving his blocking, he comes to request further advice from Coach Ukai, who redirected him to Kuroo Tetsuro, known to be a veteran in blocking. He was given blocking advice by Kuroo and Bokuto. As a result of his training, by putting power into the very tips of his fingers and extending his hands out in front of him instead of above him, he learned to be exceptional at doing a "kill block." What's more, to match opponents with higher height & power, he learned to match the timing of his opponents and backing them to a corner with a "conclusive" block.

According to his big brother: Tsukishima isn't the sort of player who moves on instinct. He doesn't trust in his own strength, nor in the senses he's honed. He is so dispassionate that it borders on moronity. The only thing he trusts is the "information" in front of him.

Later during their match with Shiratorizawa, it's shown that Tsukishima is truly a man that can "read block."
