Sakusa, Kiyoomi

佐久早聖臣

He is Itachiyama's ace and is rumored to be the favorite to win the nationals. He ranks among the country's top three aces, alongside Kiryuu and Ushijima. He appears calm and collected, yet is also very competitive and proud. Sakusa is described as a highly cautious player who might analyze a toss before spiking, a trait that also shows up in his daily habits. He claims to be a realist, which explains why he asks so many questions to assess situations.
Sakusa is a germaphobe, as shown by his desire to bathe first 'before anyone else contaminated the bath with their germs.' Consequently, he wears a mask to protect himself when not playing volleyball. He strongly dislikes crowds and will retreat to the back corner of a room or an uncrowded place when there are too many people around him.
