Kazuhito Narita, a second-year student at Karasuno High School, initially joined the boys' volleyball club in his first year. He stepped away from the team alongside Chikara Ennoshita and Hisashi Kinoshita when former coach Ikkei Ukai returned and implemented harsh training, finding the environment no longer enjoyable. The trio regretted this decision and returned, only to find Ukai hospitalized again, leading them to dub themselves "The Ungrateful Second Years." Standing 180.2 cm tall with a lean build, Narita sports dark hair shaved close to his head, wide brown eyes, and narrow eyebrows. After high school, he grows his hair slightly and wears glasses. He exhibits a calm, friendly, and steady personality, rarely becoming easily agitated. Though he occasionally teases teammates like Ryūnosuke Tanaka, he generally maintains a composed demeanor. This stability coexists with a tendency to blend into the background both on and off the court, a trait often noted by peers. Primarily serving as a backup middle blocker, Narita substitutes for starters Shoyo Hinata or Kei Tsukishima. His gameplay emphasizes reliability and adaptability, particularly under pressure. He demonstrates strong synergy with setter Kōshi Sugawara due to extensive practice, enabling effective quick attacks. However, he struggles to synchronize with new setters like Tobio Kageyama, reflecting a reliance on established routines. His abilities include power 2/5, jump 2/5, stamina 2/5, game sense 4/5, technique 3/5, and speed 3/5, with a spike reach of 322 cm and a block reach of 305 cm. Key developmental moments occur during matches: * Against Johzenji, substituting for Hinata when Kageyama exits injured, he performs steadily with Sugawara, calming worried friends Ennoshita and Kinoshita. * In the Shiratorizawa match, replacing the injured Tsukishima, he shows visible nerves and initial coordination issues with Kageyama but contributes a one-touch block, earning coach praise for maintaining performance under pressure. * During the Nationals match against Kamomedai, entering when Hinata falls ill, his spike is blocked, but he notes feeling less nervous than against Shiratorizawa, showing growth in composure. Narita shares a close bond with Ennoshita and Kinoshita, rooted in their shared history of leaving and rejoining the team. They frequently appear together during study sessions, training camps, and team activities, offering mutual support. His dynamic with Sugawara highlights on-court synergy, while interactions with Tanaka and Nishinoya involve light teasing and academic assistance. After graduating from Karasuno, Narita works for a realty firm as of 2018. He remains connected to volleyball, attending professional matches like the Schweiden Adlers vs. MSBY Black Jackals game with Kinoshita. His favorite food is tamago (egg) sushi, and a jersey number discrepancy with Kinoshita was later corrected across media adaptations.
