Yamato Sarukui, a third-year student in Fukurodani Academy’s Class 2, dons jersey number 3 as a wing spiker for the volleyball team. Born August 2 under the Leo sign, he embodies the zodiac’s confidence and enthusiasm, complemented by a physique of 181.5 cm and 74.2 kg. His 328 cm jump reach underscores his all-rounder prowess, balancing power, stamina, technique, and speed. Curly hair and a cat-like mouth define his appearance, his neutral expressions often mistaken for intentional smirks, inadvertently sparking social friction when teammates misread his demeanor. Yet his bright, approachable nature fosters tight-knit team bonds, particularly with captain Bokuto Koutaro, who affectionately dubs him “Saru.” Pragmatism guides Sarukui’s post-graduation plans to work as a Tokyo district office employee, while his preference for grated daikon highlights unassuming tastes. His name, inspired by the adaptable Sarukui eagle owl, mirrors his versatile court presence. Renowned for reliability and consistency in official matches, Sarukui thrives as a steadfast teammate. Though his developmental arcs remain unexplored in depth, his collaborative spirit shines during high-pressure plays with peers like Tobio Kageyama and Motoya Komori, cementing his role as both a skilled athlete and unifying force within the team.
