So Inuoka is a bright and energetic first-year student at Nekoma High School. Standing 185.3 cm tall with a lean build, he possesses exceptional 5/5 speed and stamina, though his game sense and technique are developing areas rated 1/5. Initially a middle blocker, he becomes the first player to effectively block Shoyo Hinata and Tobio Kageyama's quick attack during a practice match against Karasuno. His success stems from focused adaptability on specific defensive tasks, compensating for limited strategic thinking. His energetic personality mirrors Hinata's, sparking an immediate friendly rivalry and mutual respect. After Lev Haiba displaces him as starting middle blocker during summer camps, motivating intensified defensive training, Coach Nekomata proposes a position change during Golden Week. Recognizing Inuoka's athleticism and the team's need for enhanced blocking, the coach suggests training as a wing spiker to leverage his physical attributes while accommodating Lev. In the Spring High National Tournament's "Dumpster Battle" against Karasuno, Inuoka is strategically substituted to bolster blocking against Hinata. He successfully blocks one early spike but later struggles against evolved techniques like the "Bonsai Block." His defensive contributions include a clean receive enabling Lev to score. Periodically subbed out, he shares the team's emotional loss, seen crying and comforted by Nobuyuki Kai. Beyond volleyball, his post-high school life involves working as a childcare professional, aligning with his encouraging and supportive nature displayed toward teammates throughout high school.
