Shoyo Hinata is out to prove that in volleyball you don't need to be tall to fly! Ever since he saw the legendary player known as “the Little Giant” compete at the national volleyball finals, Shoyo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever! Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else? It’s the Spring Tournament quarterfinals, and the two smallest hitters—Hinata and Hoshiumi—are already making the sparks fly! Kamomedai’s consistent and systematic blocking strategies have Hinata stymied, while Tsukishima’s cold and logical decision-making has Hoshiumi stuffed! It isn’t long before the game turns into a vicious back-and-forth battle between offense and defense! Haruichi Furudate began his manga career when he was 25 years old with the one-shot Ousama Kid (King Kid), which won an honorable mention for the 14th Jump Treasure Newcomer Manga Prize.

In 2012, he began serializing Haikyu!! in Weekly Shonen Jump , where it became his most popular work to date.
