Miya Atsumu has been the starting setter for the Inarizaki High School volleyball team for the past two years. Atsumu is sneaky; he frequently loves agitating others around him while maintaining a calm exterior to get a rise out of them even more. He does this to obtain what he wants: to get a rise out of them. Atsumu is also a stubborn and unyielding individual who pays very little attention to the opinions of others.

46. Miya Osamu

Miya Osamu, Atsumu’s twin brother, is a second-year student at Inarizaki and plays wing spiker for the team. In contrast to his fiery-tempered sibling, Atsumu, Osamu tends to keep his cool and has a reasonably easygoing demeanor. However, despite his laid-back personality, Osamu, like his twin brother, takes his position on the squad extremely seriously and tends to get too competitive at times.
