Koutarou Bokuto, also known as Airhead, Horned Owl Bastard, Owl with Frosted Tips, Mr. CoolestMcCool, Bokkun, Beam Weapon, Simpleton Ace, Horned Owl Head and Mr. Just-A-Normal-Ace, is a character from the Haikyuu!! series.
== Charactah Account ==
Koutaro is a 3rd year Captain and Wing Spiker of Fukurodani Volleyball Team. Together with Kuroo, he teaches Tsukishima Kei Volleyball despite the fact that Karasuno High is a formidable opponent.
He has a playful, energetic and child-like personality and is described by his team as having mood swings, where even the slightest thing can change his mood which then impacts his performance. He is often referred to as 'simple-minded' because of this, but is both admired by his own team and the opponents for his impressive skills and morale-boosting demeanor.
When he makes a comeback, he clearly shows his pride as the ace and believes he is the 'strongest'. Bokuto is energetic (similar to Hinata), often making jokes about everything and acting rather dramatically about his plays. His personality is so compatible that he gets along with many people. However, he's rather ignorant to other people's discomfort, such as with Tsukishima.

== Trivia ==
* Favorite Food: Yakiniku (Barbecued meat, usually beef)
* Pre-timeskip Concern: "...How do you spell 'concern'?"
* Post-timeskip Concern: He's not really sure about taxes and stuff.
* According to the Haikyuu store in Japan, Bokuto has smaller hands than Akaashi because the latter has long fingers.
* His worst subject is Mathematics.
* His birthday is three days before the Autumnal equinox within the Japanese calendar.
* His star sign is Virgo.
* He is the third oldest third-year on the team.
* According to Akaashi, Bokuto has at least 37 weaknesses.
** 6: He loves to show off.
** 37: If he becomes too fixated on one thing, he'll completely forget how to do anything else.
* In his second year, at the Spring Tournament, he bought an unpopular t-shirt that reads: "The Wisdom of the Ace: Firstly, the figure of the ace is one that inspires his allies. Secondly, he should shatter any wall. Thirdly, he should hit any ball to his utmost ability." Unsurprisingly, he and Hinata find it cool.
* Akaashi states in the manga and English subbing that Bokuto just missed being one of the top three ace's, while in the English dub he says that Bokuto was once one of the top three but fell out for unknown reasons.
* In a flashback Tsukishima has of the training camp, Kuroo and Bokuto were shown to have switched hairstyles.
* Whenever he's in his 'emo mode', his hair deflates.
* He starred as himself in one of Ennoshita's roadshows called "The Day Armageddon Arrives on Earth".
* Despite being the captain, Bokuto wears #4 rather than the expected #1. This is most likely because Fukuroudani is the type of school where #4 is traditionally worn by the team's ace. His jersey in the manga and in the anime does have the mark that also signifies him as the team captain.
