Kei Tsukishima

Kei Tsukishima, also known as Tsukki, is a character from the Haikyuu!! series.
== Charactah Account ==
A member of the Karasuno High volleyball club, Tsukishima is very blunt and has a habit of riling people up (usually Hinata, Kageyama, and even his senpais Tanaka and Nishinoya). He dislikes “hot-blooded people” and doesn’t like to exert too much effort due to the past experiences of his older brother. Aside from others like Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi, he has little to no respect for his other teammates and is shown to be quite irritated at having to be close to them (seen as Karasuno huddled up to build up their spirits and again when he expressed disgust in having to stay with the team during training camp). He can even be rude to Yamaguchi (the person closest to him) which really shows his spiteful personality. The second years think of him as someone with a warped personality. He also teases Kageyama both by calling him "the king" as well as referring to the rest of the players as common folk, which angers him to the core.

* His birthday falls on the day of the Harvest Moon–which is when the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, on the Chinese calendar is celebrated in September 2015. Coincidentally, the first character in his name means "moon". In addition, Tsukishima was often seen with a crescent moon symbol on the back of his hoodies and jackets as a child.

* Furudate picked Tsukishima's name because “His last name has ‘moon’ to contrast Hinata’s ‘sun’. But I named him ‘firefly’ because he can emit light on his own.”
