Inspired after watching a volleyball ace
nicknamed "Little Giant" in action, small-statured Shouyou Hinata
revives the volleyball club at his middle school. The newly-formed team
even makes it to a tournament; however, their first match turns out to
be their last when they are brutally squashed by the "King of the
Court," Tobio Kageyama. Hinata vows to surpass Kageyama, and so after
graduating from middle school, he joins Karasuno High School's
volleyball team—only to find that his sworn rival, Kageyama, is now his
teammate.
Thanks to his short height, Hinata struggles to find his role on the
team, even with his superior jumping power. Surprisingly, Kageyama has
his own problems that only Hinata can help with, and learning to work
together appears to be the only way for the team to be successful. Based
on Haruichi Furudate's popular shounen manga of the same name, Haikyuu!!
is an exhilarating and emotional sports comedy following two determined
athletes as they attempt to patch a heated rivalry in order to make
their high school volleyball team the best in Japan.
