**Hachisuka Risa** (Japanese: 蜂須賀りさ) was previously a second-year student from Nekoma High. She was the Boys' Volleyball Club's Manager. As of November 2018, she works for the Japan men's volleyball team as their psychologist.

## Appearance

Risa is a medium height girl. She is well known for her characteristic hime hairstyle which she's worn since a very young age. She has chocolate brown hair and slightly darker eyes.

Risa is often seen wearing a black oversized shirt and red sweatpants. When she attends Nekoma's official matches she's seen wearing the team's jacket which has "Manager" written in the back.

In highschool regular activities she wears tidily the school's uniform, sometimes she might wear black pantyhose and black converse sneakers.

## Personality

Risa has a laid back personality most of the time. Despite being someone introverted she has really good communication skills which help her to overcame her lack of confidence when approaching strangers. She's known to be an overall respectful person with good mannerisms, having a respectful relationship with Nekomata and Naoi coach.

She knows Yaku since childhood as they were neighbors and has built a close friendship with him. Risa also befriended Kuroo, Kenma and Fukunaga.

Risa is highly observant and curious, constantly questioning things and open to learn. She has shown that despite her introverted nature she can be someone extremely funny and loud with her friends. Risa is also honest with them, she's not afraid to criticize decisions they make if she doesn't agree and can have really long debates, specially with Kuroo.

She fulfills her duty as manager to perfection. Risa is extremely responsible, reliable and often is seen taking other responsibilities such as learning how to properly buddy tape fingers, organizing friendly matches and taking care of the boys even when they are outside of club activities.

## Background

Hachisuka Risa comes from a high-class family, she was born in Kyoto and later on moved to Tokyo alongside her parents when she was 2. Her dad work as a diplomat outside Japan, while her mom as an important position as lawyer for an important company.

Despite this, she grew up in a rather austere way. At age 6 she met Morisuke Yaku who she soon befriended and built a brother and sister relationship.

She was supposed to be attend a private academy once she reached High School but insisted she wanted to attend Nekoma under the pretext "Yaku is my only friend, if I don't attend Nekoma then you should roll him in the academy too". Once she joined Nekoma High School she was immediately asked to join the Boys' volleyball team as their manager, she agreed mainly because she didn't like any other club.

During her high school years she became well known for being "Nekoma's emotional pillar" and for being the very first manager the volleyball club had. After graduating she decided to study psychology after being told by her friends how good of a listener and empathic she was. Risa later on joined the Japan men's volleyball team staff as psychologist.

She remains friends with everyone from high school. Despite Yaku moving outside Japan their friendship is still as strong as ever and they love to work together when the national team has to reunite.

As 2018, Risa is married to Kuroo and have adopted 2 cats and 1 dog they named after their "most annoying high school friends": Lev, Bokuto and Tsukki.
