akiramezu:T/N: The Haikyuu!! guidebook includes comments by Furudate-sensei about Karasuno. (2/7)Hinata Shouyou“I took care he wouldn’t become a character I had nothing in common with. Although Hinata has a certain, how to put it, madness or unusual passion, he usually has the straight-man comedy role* and he can read the atmosphere. When I drew one of those little scenes when Hinata makes a quick retort to Kageyama, I felt “ah, Hinata turned out good, huh.”T/N: *For those familiar with manzai: he refers to the tsukkomi role.Name origin: 日向 翔陽“I gave him this name with the image of “sun” and “flying” in mind.T/N: 日 and 陽 mean sun. 翔 means flying.Kageyama Tobio“I actually created Kageyama before Hinata. He hasn’t changed very much since I first created him. I felt “ah, Kageyama turned out good, huh” - like with Hinata - when I drew about him being a passionate setter yet being an idiot.”Name origin: 影山 飛雄“I gave him this name with the image of “strong shadow” and “flying” in mind.T/N: 影 means shadow and 飛 means flying. -- source link
