Yuudai Hyakuzawa plays wing spiker for Kakugawa High School's volleyball team as a first-year student. At over 200 centimeters tall, he's genuinely imposing—the kind of guy who immediately stands out in a room. Despite his physical dominance, he's soft-spoken and pretty reserved, maintaining a respectful attitude toward his upperclassmen. He usually keeps a neutral expression unless volleyball gets him fired up.
What's notable about Hyakuzawa is how new he actually is to the sport. By the time of the Miyagi Prefecture's First Spring High Preliminary, he'd only been playing for about six months. It shows in his initial mindset: before facing Karasuno, he figured his natural height and athleticism would just be enough to win—that volleyball was basically straightforward. When Hinata proves him wrong, though, something clicks. Rather than make excuses, Hyakuzawa seeks out his senior afterward to eat crow about his overconfidence, which says a lot about his character. He doesn't really react to praise from his teammates either, just acknowledges it with a simple nod.
