Plot[]
He first appears during Karasuno's practice match when Yachi was first brought to the club. During the match, he was impressed with Karasuno's individual and team plays.
He would later appear during the First Year Training Camp at Shiratorizawa Academy. He is fairly surprised that Washijō was allowing Hinata to stay during the camp, as it is well known that the elderly coach has no interest in short players. He expresses how it seems a waste to have Hinata be a ball boy and admits that he would train the middle blocker to be a wing spiker after seeing tapes of matches he had previously been in and recognizing his potential.
