Perspective

**Yuma Miya** (Japanese: **宮 悠真** *Miya Yuma*) is the starting setter for the Tachibana Red Falcons, a Division 1 team in Japan's V-League. Prior to that, for most of the series, he was a first-year student at Alexandra Military Academy and their volleyball team`s setter. Yuma also became commonly known as Japan`s third best high school setter. Like Tobio Kageyama, he was invited to the All-Japan Youth Intensive Training Camp in high school. He is the biological clone of  Akira Kunimi, and the adoptive younger brother of Atsumu Miya and Osamu Miya, being Hayato Yamagata`s boyfriend.

## **Appearance**

Yuma mostly has an indifferent expression on his face and doesn't show his emotions often. He has dark hair that is parted into two sides in the middle. He's quite thin, though he has a lean, muscular build. His eyes are dull brown and he has somewhat delicate features. His eyes make him look very apathetic and tired. He possess an average height for volleyball standing at 183 cm and is somewhat tall for a first year high school student.

## **Personality**

He is a quiet and indifferent person, though it's mostly out of habit and results from his government-based childhood growing up, before he was adopted by the Miya Family. He appears to be overly blunt, and states his opinion often, leading to verbal arguments with the rest of the team against Yuma. Osamu has described him as a overly blunt and emotionless person. Yuma dislikes loud, energetic people and appears to be a huge perfectionist when it comes to his tosses. Due to being raised in a government facility, Yuma has a cold and impersonal attitude towards other people and everything in general, being nicknamed **The Emotionless Setter** by Kuro Azumane due to his personality. Despite that, Yuma has a desire to break down his mental barriers built around him, and truly communicate with people. He is noted to possess an abnormal fear of talking to girls and generally skirts away from girls, other than his actual female volleyball teammates, usually relying on them to act as a "microphone" if you will to voice his thoughts.

## **Background**

Yuma lives in Hyogo Prefecture, and thus speaks in a Kansai dialect. He is currently a first-year at Alexandra Military Academy with the rest of his first-year teammates. He is recognized as the number three high school setter as well as receiving the Best Outside Hitter award during middle school and the Interhigh. Due to his top-notched skills, Yuma is one of the few players invited to the All-Japan Youth training camp.

Yuma has been playing volleyball with Rin, since his first year in elementary school. In the fourth grade, he attended a volleyball workshop where he met the twins`s current teammate, Aran Ojiro. During the workshop, Yuma witnessed personally how a skilled setter brought out the potential of their spikers by sending them the best tosses. This piqued his interest in becoming a setter.

## **Plot**

### **Tokyo Nationals Arc**

#### **Preparation for Nationals**

Yuma is one of the players invited to the All-Japan Youth Intensive Training Camp. During the first practice match, while Atsumu chuckles at the sight of Kageyama messing up, Yuma just rolls his eyes. Sometime later, during a break, he approaches Kageyama as the latter was talking to Hoshiumi. After Kageyama tells Hoshiumi that he's not really affected by his jumping power, Yuma faintly smiles and calls Kageyama a kind-hearted person. He then bluntly tells his fellow first year that he is jealous of Kageyama because he can express himself more thoroughly than he (Yuma) can. This surprises the latter, who looks at Yuma with a questioning look before calling him Kunimi.

Yuma is the current third-best high school setter in Japan. His tosses are said to be very easy to hit, never wavering and never off, thus creating the illusion that the spikers have improved.

## **Relationships**

### **Osamu Miya**

Yuma and Osamu have a unusual sibling relationship, and are notably cordial towards each other, more so than Atsumu and Osamu are with each other. They confide in each other, with Yuma clinging to his older brother often whenever he is in the vicinity, or when he is not around his female teammates. Between the brothers, Yuma is usually the one usually taking the initiative with Osamu following along. However, whenever Yuma steps out of line, Osamu is not afraid to use physical force to teach him a lesson. Despite being quick to quarrel and fight, they don't stay angry for long and quickly reconcile over playing a soccer game.

### **Atsumu Miya**

Yuma and Atsumu have a typical sibling relationship, and at times get into verbal arguments, as well as tease each other openly. As brothers, they are quick to quarrel and fight, but they get over it just as quickly.

### **Rin Lancer**

One of his female teammates, he thinks highly of her and she is usually who he holds onto whenever he has to be near girls. Yuma and Rin are shown to have a good relationship, and are stated to be childhood friends from a young age. He tosses to her whenever he is in a pinch during a match, and the two are said to have a telepathic connection with each other, as they communicate with each other by using only gestures and nods with each other in a match.

### **Alexandra Military Academy**

Yuma is on good terms with the rest of his teammates, enough that he and Rin will play jokes on them. Their usual targets are Alice Sugawara and Elaine Sawamura, who often play the straight girls to the childhood friends` gags. Yuma and the rest are shown to be terrified of Kiku`s cold logic. However, he has nothing but respect and admiration for Kiku deep down.
