- genuinely crashed out bc tera and maru forced him to watch the entirety of the kissing both. "why tf am i watching this... WHAT IS GOING ON?! I'M PISSED! TURN THIS SHIT OFF! i am actually losing my fucking mind!"
- whenever he sees a group of crows, he always counts how many there are to determine if he's gonna have a good day or not
- his gf freaked out upon finding out he shaved off his hair. "your beauty is destroyed!! 😭" dont worry, she ended up liking it eventually
- think his gf's name would be Kiriyama Miyuki. i thought it would be interesting if the kanji of their first names have similar meanings (Sakae (栄) - Prosper, Miyuki (幸) - Good Fortune)
teradomari
- started putting his hair up during early middle school when his older brothers teased him about his height. then the growth spurt happened
- the few times he and his younger brother get to bond nowadays is when they're playing mario kart or sonic adventure 2 together
- secretly plays cats & soup and would rather break his phone in half than have anyone catch him playing it
maruyama
- meteorology nerd. idk, based purely on vibes
- can predict the weather with terrifying accuracy
- likes wearing a lot of knitted clothing, especially made from wool or other very soft fabrics. teradomari likes to tease him by calling him a sheep or a "cloud with legs"
- additionally, he likes a lot of soft and fluffy stuff in general
atema
- the only person to realize their team colors are literally the mikasa volleyball and for some reason everyone insists they don't know what he's talking about. he's convinced he's being gaslit
- HAAATTEEESS the texture of jeans. he never willingly wears them. he’ll wear any other form of long pants before he wears jeans. if he has to wear jeans for whatever reason, he will just cry after a while. its so overstimulating
maiko - has the most inconsistent music taste. his playlist makes zero sense. you'd go from the most pop song ever, to something depressing, to 70s rock, one nickelback song, more pop, something indie, rock again—
iwamuro - claims to be the only 2nd year on the team with common sense then proceeds to stuff someone's bag full of rocks bc they tried to bully himekawa
kaikake - once went to the beach by himself and sat in the water for 3 hours and went home like nothing happened. he didn't even do anything, he just sat there
tsukioka - smells vaguely of sandalwood and frankincense?
mikawa - once showed up late to a hangout and literally entered atema's house to all the 2nd years at each other's throats over a game of flip 7
himekawa - was in charge of the music during a road trip and everyone started singing as soon as stronger than you from steven universe started playing
AN: sorry it’s been a while since I posted BUT 👀 I still have a dream to write at least 1 set of HC’s per team because I know each one of these bbys has a fan somewhere. It’s me, I am the fan.
You can’t tell me these aren’t some seriously blushie boys
They will simply perish the moment they find out they have a manager
Literally, they could have no clue who you are but once they find out, watch out
Instant protection squad!
They have like six second years so never fear Yn, you are secure
Coach Osado is actually the one who recruited you
He knew you were a good student and capable of managing a team
When he asked if you still needed a club and you responded “yes”, the deal was sealed 🤝🏻
The first person he’s gonna inform is our amazing third year setter, Echigo
That poor boy is exhausted
Literally carrying the teams moral on his back 😅
Needless to say, he’s stoked about having a manager!
However, Coach Osado and Echigo decide not to inform the rest of the team of you
Because there’s nothing better than a good surprise right?
Right : D
So on your first day, you walk into the gym and the boys are already warming up
They stop and look towards you 👀
Freaking so noisy istg-
They watch as your beauty lights up the space, and they all just stare at you
Literally 👁️👄👁️
Someone better make sure to get a mop because there is drool everywhere!
You smile at them and wave, walking over to Coach as Echigo stands and walks towards you both
Teradomari is super confused 🤨 and looks to his friend for answers
Too bad his friend is Maruyama, who is probably definitely simp #1 on Team YN
“Dude don’t stare at them! We don’t even know who they are!” Tera gritted out as Maru snapped from his thoughts
Literally just these goons all ogling you
Hope you don’t have social anxiety Yn 😅
All the second years, Tsukioka, Mikawa, Iwamuro, Atema, Maiko and Kaikake are silently thanking whomever sent you walking into the volleyball gym
Our precious Angel, Himekawa is just staring at you, face blush red as he watches you laugh at something Echigo says
Suddenly Echigo and you approach the team, a huge smile plastered on your face
“Guys this is Yn, our new manager,” he spoke as suddenly the gym went dead silent
Before ultimately erupting into chaos
“Our manager- as in our teams manager?!?” Maru shouts, standing up before running at you and Echigo for a group hug
“As in the collective groups manager?” Tera added
“Like YN’s gonna be at all the practices manager?” Maiko interjects
Echigo 👉🏻😐🙄 yes
“Wait wait- like YN’s gonna travel on a bus with us to tournaments and stuff?” Tsukioka promoted
You this whole time 👉🏻😅
Coach Osado 👉🏻 rethinking this entire decision
“YES- yes YN is our manager!” Echigo finally said, moving his hands in a circle to indicated that he was including everyone
“I’m really happy to be joining you! Thank you for this opportunity!” You smile as the boys instantly die on the spot from how adorable you are
“I think I’m gonna faint!” Maru shouted as you quickly ran over to him
“Do you need water or something?” You said, concerned as his eyes widened and locked with yours
Thankfully Tera became conscious during this process and quickly intervened
“Umm I think he’s ok Yn, here I’ll show you around,” he said, grabbing your arm as you waved to the boys and began about your first day as the teams manager
Now I wish I could say they chilled out, but they in fact, did not 😬
Sure they didn’t almost pass out every time they see you but man did they adore you
They all clamored to help you in anyway they can
There is no way coach has any issues getting these boys to practice
“YN come help me with spikes!” Mary shouts
You 👉🏻 ok 🥰
“No YN I need you to help me with my cross court shots!” Teru interrupts
You 👉🏻 sure 😃
“YN is going to be too busy helping me with serving!” Tsukioka interjects
You 👉🏻 okey dokey 😅
“I need the most help Yn!” Kaikake whines
You 👉🏻 on it 🫠
Good thing Echigo is there to straighten everything out
“Whoa whoa ok that’s enough fighting over Yn! You guys should learn how to practice on your own!”
You 👉🏻*instant relief* 😌
“Besides Yn is going to be too busy helping me with setting to help any of you,” Echigo adds 🙃
“YOU ALWAYS HOG YN!” Maru shouts as Tera and the entire team join in
You 👉🏻 🧍😀
Despite all their fighting, they do agree on one thing
And that’s protect Yn at all costs!
Seriously you probably have better security detail than most politicians YN
Especially at tournaments
Because these boys aren’t only nervous about the game
But now they have to worry about protecting their innocent Yn from boys 😱
At the qualifiers for nationals, these boys are already on edge
You’ve tried to calm them down by giving them words of encouragement by man are they tense
Coach suggests that maybe it would be beneficial for them to eat something to calm their nerves which you agree
But oops- it looks like you forgot the bentos on the bus
Darn it 😏
Oh well, nothing a short brisk walk won’t fix
Only they boys don’t know you have left them because they are too nervous to even function
And while you are on your adventure, there’s a few players who have been paying extra attention to you
High school hormones 🙄
So when they finally see that you’ve escape the guard and are now alone, they decide to pounce
“Hey there! I didn’t know Tsubakihara had such a pretty manager!” On of the boys said
You just blush and continue to walk, knowing you need to feed your boys
“Man I wish we had a cutie like you on our team,” another one of them says as to you
You continue to ignore them because you have a goal!
Back in the gym, it’s Himekawa who first notices your absence
He’s so nervous that his nervous are almost working for him and making him way more vigilant
He looks around confused before Atema finally says something
“What’s up dude?”
“Umm where did Yn go?” Himekawa asks as suddenly everyone looks up
It’s like the nerves just melt away as they all suddenly start to panic
“Omg YN’s lost! We lost our manager!” Maru shouts
“YN was just here a few minutes ago calm down!” Echigo says as coach interrupts
“I sent YN to get some bentos to calm you boys down,” he says as the boys eyes widen
“Like alone?!?” Teru questions
“There’s so many boys here! We have to find YN!” Iwamuro yells as the boys take off in search of you
By this time, you’ve made it to the bus and the now super annoying boys are still following you 🙄
Like please take a hint we have a job to do ok!
Just as you are about to say something, the doors slam open and your entire team comes running out
Literally it’s like that scene where Ukai runs to save Takeda from Inarizaki’s coach
👇🏻
“LEAVE OUR YN ALONE!” Maru shouts as the boys and you just stare
The boys 👉🏻😐
You 👉🏻🙄
They block you from the other boys as they puff out their chests and assert their dominance
“YN are these hooligans causing you issues?” Tera asks as you stare at him
“I’m fine,” you say
“Why are you bothering OUR manager?” Maiko questions
You 👉🏻 really I’m ok 😅
“We were just making sure nobody hurt them. They were walking all by themselves,” one of the annoying boys said
Oof- that really hit a nerve
“We knew right where Yn was the entire time!” Maru shouted
The team 👉🏻 🤨 we did?
“Yeah we trust Yn to do things on their own!” Atema added
The team 👉🏻 we do?
“So why did you come running-” you started before being interrupted
“Well would you look at the time! Sorry we have to go warm up now!” Tera shouted, pushing you away as the other boys grabbed the lunch boxes and you headed back inside
Once inside the boys deflated, feeling relieved that they had found you safe
“You know, those guys are who we play first,” you smirked 😏
Daily Tsubakihara Headcanons :D (watch me forget tomorrow lol)
Tsukioka is like insanely strong, able to carry Iwamuro and Atema at the same time.
Maiko wears makeup to school, he doesn’t care at all (his sisters taught him how to do makeup)
Atema and his twin are identical and the team were shocked when Tomomi (his twin’s name) showed up at the gym (It’s like a Mabel and Dipper situation, but I’m considering making Tomomi trans because I can) [im pretty sure One of the Pines twins are trans]
The entire team will kill for Himekawa
Teradomari plans to confess to Maruyama since 1st year but chickens out everytime
Iwamuro is studying to be an orthodontist/dentist because his younger sisters never brush their teeth
Akifumi is taller than Himekawa by 0.01 cm and he doesn’t know how to feel about that
Mikawa collects shells for the other second years
Echigo and Teradomari’s siblings love Maruyama
Maiko has the same hairstyle as Hondo but flipped, and he’s extremely salty about that
Atema used to be part of the track team with his sister when they were younger (there were co-Ed teams)
Iwamuro was part of Basketball team
The former third years are pretty and that’s the reason they’re known as the pretty boy team!
fun fact: the reason I found you is because of your headcanons on Kakugawa and Johzenji! I loved that you liked the background characters and I always wanted to talk to you!
HSUDSOY AWW THAT'S SO SWEET!! i love a good ensemble cast so yeah i'm always down to talk about as many characters as possible!! these are all lovely hcs btw they are HILARIOUS
From Chapter 238, the two pinch servers from Tsubakihara (surnames first):
Top image - Mikawa Dai 三川 大, 2nd year
Bottom image - Himekawa Aoi 姫川 葵, 1st year
As per the naming trend, Mikawa and Himekawa are also both onsen located in NIigata prefecture. The kanji for ‘Dai’ means ‘large/big’ while that for ‘Aoi’ represents a hollyhock. The hollyhock is also represented in the official seal of the Tokugawa shogunate/clan.
Mikawa’s older brother was a former member of the volleyball club (i mean if you see the former third years, they looked similar right?)
Maiko and Tsukioka are competing for the ace position, well less competing, more deciding which one (Maiko says Tsukioka should be ace since he’s stronger but Tsukioka argues that Maiko should be ace because he’s more versatile)
Teradomari’s younger brother is taller than Maru by an inch and he’s offended.
“Teradomari-san’s hair looks like French fries”- Himekawa, literally the first day he meets him
Iwamuro’s bangs gets styled by his older sisters nearly every day
Kaikake (Akifumi) is a chill person, Atema is not
Atema’s birthday is February 29 ( i looked it up and 1996 is a leap year so it’s canon in my books)
Echigo’s girlfriend is a sweetheart and I hope they get married
The second years compared Atema to cats on a daily basis, just walking pass makes them compare them
Atema is extremely smart and lets the others copying off his answers and notes
on the other hand, Atema is extremely impulsive and slapped cheese on Echigo’s head because he could.
Maiko paints everyone’s nails if he can
Maruyama once had a revelation in an McDonald’s bathroom
I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T GET BACK TIL TODAY BUT THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVELY TYVM! and as funny as they, please absolutely do not feel obligated or pressured to send them in LMAAAO. i joke around a lot about being motivated to make content when i see that other people want them, but do it for yourself first!! i wouldn't be posting about all the obscure teams otherwise LMAO
Maiko comes from a rich family, and he helps the others pay for things.
Tsukioka tutors children that have trouble with school
The only time the team saw Echigo lose his chill is when he was yelling his older sister for using one of shirts for DIY
Maruyama is good at giving emotional advice, not much at using it for himself
Teradomari outgrew his older brothers, the second oldest is taller then the oldest. The 3 collectively fear that the youngest will be the tallest
Kaikake is a triplet and the youngest one. Atema and him bond over it
Himekawa has a sweet tooth
Mikawa is the least likely to arrested, I’m just saying
Iwamuro’s sisters all has some form of a resting bitch face
Atema didn’t chose a Vice captain for the team yet, and he never did
atema once fought with his sister in front of the gym, they both has matching bruises on their cheeks from each other.
It will take a long fricking time for Teramaru to confess to each other.
HELL YEAH i'm SO down for insufferable pining teramaru! i also raise you that himekawa is ALSO unlikely to ger arrested. not because he doesn't start shit but because he's REALLY good at talking down whoever is trying to throw them in jail LMAO
Tsukioka is the oldest second year on the team, and super supportive to everyone, in a gruff way
Atema’s twin is older than him actually, by 4 minutes. And Atema is the youngest second year
Himekawa is a god at math
Echigo is internally screaming underneath his calm exterior
Teradomari carried everyone at least twice
Akifumi is the most calm chaotic person you can meet
Iwamuro can say things with the straightest face
Maruyama jumped into Teradomari’s arms once
Maiko has two older sisters that are models
Mikawa’s freckles are one of his favorite traits.
Atema is the captain in his third year, no one knows how it happened, the third (second) years joke that Echigo rolled a die to figure it out
Atema is the smartest one, but he doesn’t use it for good, and he also doesn’t use it when he ate his sister’s bento out of spite for her stealing his hair brush
Also fun fact I actually have a Tumblr account but I’m nervous that it would look like im stealing an anon’s credit! Im going to show it afterwards when you answer this ask!
HBDFLSFBLSJ FIRST OFF ANON I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY WAY I'D THINK YOU WERE STEALING IF YOU HAD SHOWED YOURSELF
i'm just. a very small funky fish in the middle of a great big sea!! and from what i can tell ppl this dedicated to tsubakihara content are. well. pretty small LMAAAO (coughHILYZcough). i def don't have the traffic for someone to go "oh hey i'm going to steal these ideas", but i appreciate the thought and i'm looking forward to the reveal!!
ALSO I SUPER AGREE ABOUT ATEMA LMAO. he's shaping up to be my favorite on tsubakihara. and the teramaru . . . so cute . . .
