Tadashi Yamaguchi (Japanese: 山口忠, Yamaguchi Tadashi) is a member of the Karasuno High Volleyball Club. He plays the role of pinch server in the team.

Appearance

Yamaguchi is a young-looking boy with an average build. He has short black hair, often portrayed as brown or even green with a flyaway piece of hair sticking up at the top. He is also well-recognized for his freckles. Back in middle school, he was teased for his freckles and overall scrawniness. He seems to have grown into it now and isn't bothered about it as much.

After joining the Karasuno volleyball team during games, Yamaguchi wears Karasuno's black, orange, and white uniform with the number 12 on the back. Also, he wears knee pads and white and black volleyball shoes.

Outside of matches and practice, Yamaguchi wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno uniform.

Personality

Yamaguchi is a pretty shy person who relies on others. Though he is generally a nice person, he tends to snicker along or join in with Tsukishima whenever he's mocking others. He is hardworking, as shown when he sought for extra training on his own, and how he continued practicing outside of the team after seeing how weak he was compared to his other teammates. After a fatal loss in the match against Aobajōsai High, he gained a lot of confidence thanks to his teammates and Makoto Shimada. During the summer training camp, he even stood up against Kei Tsukishima, who was surprised and called him "cool" for the first time.

Jump Float Serve

Early in the series, Tadashi began practicing the jump float serve technique. Although attempting and failing the serve against Seijoh at a tight moment of the match, he worked extremely hard to improve it. Not even Nishinoya Yuu (Karasuno's Libero) can receive his serves consistently.

Trivia

His favorite food is soft, floppy french-fries
He is smart, as he is in class 4 with Tsukishima; classes 4-5 being college-preparatory classes in Karasuno.
Current concern: Whenever he thinks a cute girl has come over to talk to him, all they want to talk about is Tsukishima.
In the fourth instance of Haikyuu!! Radio, Yamaguchi's voice actor for the anime adaption, Saitō Sōma, was asked "What sort of person is your character, Yamaguchi?" to which he responded "Loves Tsukki very much."
His seiyuu, Saitō Sōma, is also the seiyuu for Twelve, a character in the anime Zankyou no Terror. Number twelve is Yamaguchi's shirt number.
He shares a birthday with Kenji Futakuchi.
He is the only First Year to not be a regular in the first series of the anime.
