Ishigaki comes across as genuinely kind and respectful—his teammates clearly like him, and he's friendly even to people he's just met. He takes his role as an upperclassman seriously, which means looking out for the younger guys on the team. Back before Midousuji joined Kyoto Fushimi, he and the other members had this casual, affectionate vibe going, trading nicknames like "Ishiyan" for him and "Nobu" for Mizuta. When he first encounters Onoda, he's helpful and considerate—picks up his water bottle, tries to settle him down. Even when people brush him off, Ishigaki doesn't seem bothered. He just keeps being friendly.
That said, he's genuinely hungry for team victories. When Midousuji calls the shots, Ishigaki executes them completely, no questions asked—even when it means pushing exhausted teammates to their limits or ditching them behind. It clearly takes a toll on him, both physically and emotionally. But he respects what Midousuji brings to the table: the guy's talented, he's relentless about winning, and his methods work. So Ishigaki does his part as support and as the older guy on the team, backing those tactics despite how they sit with him.
