1, 5, and 13 for Hayama ^^

Yayyy, more Hayama questions! My moots know me so well! 🧡✨

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Oh boy. Where do I start?

Well, first of all, I obviously like the character. Not like, I absolutely adore the character. Why? I don't know, I just do, and I always did. I think I will explain the process of how exactly I fell in love with his character, because I think it's a big part of why I like him and explains some things.

Ever since he appeared on the screen for the first time, ever since I heard his voice for the first time, I knew he was going to be one of my favorite characters. Something about him was special, and I couldn't really tell what, but something felt different, and refreshing. His first appearance was so short and yet so impactful, and it left me so curious. I could simply not wait to learn more about him and see if I would really love his character as much as I thought I would.

Then, the Rakuzan-Shutoku match came up, and my Shutoku heart was broken in advance because it was almost obvious that Shutoku will just be used as a tool to showcase Rakuzan's power and greatness. While I was sad to watch Shutoku lose, a side of me was curious to learn more about the Uncrowned Kings, and especially Kotaro. Then, the scene where Kotaro is yelling about how strong their opponents are and being excited about facing them had me thinking 'What a sweet and cheerful guy', and that was a first green flag for me.

The episode kept going on and the match was progressing. Kotaro didn't do anything special yet, and oh, Shintaro is getting doubled teamed and the ball is in Kiyoshi's hands. His opponent is that cute blondie I have my eye on. Well, that was my current favorite character, Kiyoshi, against that new guy, Kotaro. Kiyoshi passed Kotaro with ease, and I was like 'Seriously?', but still found Kotaro's amazed expression and mood after being passed amusing and interesting. He was like a puppy, he was there for a fun time. Green flag. Then, Kotaro was being scolded by his teammates, and he didn't seem too bothered by all of their complaining. I really thought he was so cool and chill for being able to take criticism so easily, and I loved it. I already liked him a lot.

Then he destroyed Kiyoshi like he was nothing. And he also showed that he can, indeed, be serious, and that he has a pretty special and cool skill. I was biased, and I thought that Kotaro was a heartless bastard for a long moment... He was still pretty cool, and his dribbling was pretty cool. He was just talented, he was just better. That didn't really make him a bastard. Well, my bias was still on Kiyoshi's side, but Kotaro was cool. That was my mindset until pretty much the end of the Rakuzan-Shutoku match.

I don't really know the order of events in the WinterCup finals, but I remember how I felt about them. So, yeah...

Then the WinterCup final match started, Kotaro was against Taiga. Immediately, everyone figured out he was kind of powerless against a Miracle like Taiga, so he switched positions with Seijuro and disappeared for a while. I remembered being very disappointed and sad that Kotaro didn't even try to face Taiga... I just really hoped for a comeback.

Of course, there was a comeback! When Kotaro asked for Taiga to add Senpai to his name I chuckled. He wanted respect, and I sort of respected him for that. In their duel, it was revealed that Kotaro has animal instincts! He was also compared to a cheetah, which is one of my favorite animals since I am a kid. That was a pretty nice coincidence! I was also pretty surprised by how fierce, serious and vindictive Kotaro could be. I remember thinking 'What a dude', in a good way of course.

When Rakuzan entered the zone and Kotaro faced Taiga again I remember cheering for him so badly! When he yelled 'Comeback time!' I was like 'YES SHOW HIM'... Unfortunately, Taiga was still quicker than him and stopped him. Still, that was a cool moment, and I remember being so hyped up about it.

When his showdown with Shun happened, I really loved how Shun's and Kotaro's personalities clashed. I was pretty much on the edge of my seat as long as they were in the main focus of the episodes. It was intense. I loved how Shun made Kotaro go all the way out and all of his skills were super cool and flashy, my little self was blown away! I loved how quick and decisive Kotaro was, and I really enjoyed seeing people cheer for him, too. His proud smile made me feel things.

That moment where he was called 'The Raijuu' and he was all pressed about it was also pretty cute and funny! It also reminded me that he was just a happy and silly guy!

When he laughed at Shun's pun my heart melted. I was happy that someone appreciated Shun's genius and creativity, and I was so happy that it was Kotaro. What a sweetie cutie pie he is.

When Shun and Tetsuya forced Kotaro to get into Taiga's field of defense and he was defeated my mind just went 'Oh no'. I remember being really bummed out that Kotaro was stopped after everything.

In the next moment we saw Kotaro being all angry, clenching his fist with steam coming out of his head, I remember stopping for a moment. His internal monologue was sort of making me feel like he was going to break something, or someone. Then, he took a deep breath and stopped. That impressed me a lot. Yet again, I was like 'What a dude'. I loved him.

At some point in the match, I noticed how supportive Kotaro was of his teammates. He was cheering for them, praised them, comforted them, calmed them down when they were angry and expressed his concerns when they seemed like something was wrong. Made me think of how observant, open, genuine and close he actually was with his teammates.

And then he kind of ruined it.

Whatever Kotaro said about his Senpai was disrespectful as heck, and it got me thinking how merciless Kotaro can actually be. I was pretty pissed at him. Still, the match continued with Chihiro in it and the Uncrowned Kings played with him well. The moment when Seijuro lost his cool and started making mistakes and Kotaro calmly said how there was no point of keeping him on court made my jaw drop. Disrespectful. Rude. Cold. Distant. Made me realize just how goal-oriented Rakuzan players could be. Still, couldn't blame him, or any of them. The motto of their captain and school is literally about how winning is everything and only the results are what matters in the end.

When everyone started cheering for Seirin after Shigehiro's speech, I just remember being extremely bummed out. The moment 'power of friendship' was introduced and everyone connected and formed that friendship WiFi zone, I could tell who the winner was, and I was not so impressed. Until the end of the game, I could see that everyone tried their best, and after the buzzer beater, I remember being happy for Seirin. They did it! They won! I was happy for Tetsuya and Shigehiro and Taiga, I was happy for Teppei, Shun, Riko and everyone, but when I saw the devastated looks on the faces of Rakuzan players, I still felt bad. I've been there, too. I know how much the feeling sucks. Failing to be the best when it was expected of you. Being so close to holding the golden trophy, but having the silver one put into your hands.

I remember that I was sad that the series finally ended, and I needed a moment to collect myself, I needed a little break.

After all of the feelings and impressions settled and calmed down, and after a lot of thinking, I just decided that Hayama Kotaro was my favorite character. It felt right.

When I realized that there was nothing else left of the anime, and that there was no more Kotaro screen-time, I decided to research about him and see what's up with him in the books, CDs, games... That was the absolute best decision ever.

His Wiki page and Character Bible sheet reveal so much about him, and I remember being super excited to learn everything there was. Learning what his name meant was so cool. His motto ('Strike while the iron is hot', which translates to 'Куј гвожђе док је вруће' in my native language) was a line I had in a school play when I was a kid. He liked kappamaki. He was into skateboarding. He had two older sisters. He liked World History... I was so happy that there was so much more information about him, his personality and his private life. I loved literally everything about him!

Then, I discovered The Replace Plus novels, special CDs, video games... Little pieces of information regarding Kotaro's personality and life were scattered here and there, and when I found them I was so excited and I cherished them like gold! I loved having a clearer idea of what kind of a person Kotaro was, what he did, how he lived...

It was still the golden era of KuroBasu, so I could easily find bunch of fanart and fanfiction related to Kotaro. I could also find friends who also had him as their favorite character! I was a little shy on the Internet so I didn't really meet a lot of people, but I had a few friends who I would talk to about him. We discussed his personality, made up headcanons, made our own fanart, one of them wrote fanfiction... It all just brought me closer to him and his character.

Every now and then some lost or rare piece of KuroBasu media gets uploaded somewhere and I learn something new about him! The KuroBasu crew is also working hard on new lines of merchandise, and sometimes, Kotaro makes it to the lineup! There is a chance we will get to learn more about him in the future, and I am here for it. In the meantime, I will enjoy drawing him and writing about him, and I will incorporate everything I already know about him!

Well, what more can I say? I just love everything about Hayama Kotaro. He is really special to me and he is my biggest comfort character ever. I will always have a little space in my heart for him! 🧡

I have a few canons about Kotaro that I found over the many years of being in the fandom that I would like to share!

He lives in the dorms and his roommate is Mibuchi Reo

Akashi Seijuro considers him a very close friend, putting him in his most intimate circle of friends

He has very stretchy cheeks and is very aware of his facial muscles, which allows him to make funny faces

He once ate snowballs

He is pretty bad with technology (mostly because he has no patience with it)

He has a bad poker face

He dislikes his UK nickname, 'The Raijuu', because it makes him feel like a tiny, rare beast

He can wiggle his ears

When someone is taking a photo, he has to get in on the action

He plays video games online with Mibuchi Reo

He is a gymnast and he does Horizontal Bar

He knocked out Nebuya Eikichi when he played the role of Mibuchi Reo's husband for Akashi Seijuro's movie

When he speaks he uses a lot of modern slang words

He lets Mibuchi Reo do makeup on him

He spends his free time by skateboarding around the neighborhood

In his original color scheme he had platinum blond hair and black eyes; in manga he always has his eyes colored fully black

In his original design he had two snaggle teeth and spiky hair at the back of his head

Hopefully there is something new in here that you didn't hear of! These are some of my favorite and random canons about Kotaro that people don't usually talk about!

5. What's the first song that comes to your mind when you think of them?

It is one of my favorite Japanese songs from one of my favorite K-POP girl groups: 'Happy Happy' by TWICE! When I first discovered this song and watched the Music Video I was melted away by the vibe! The beat was so cute and bubbly and the MV was so colorful and cheerful and adorable! It just put a huge smile on my face, just thinking about the song right now is putting me in a good mood!

One of my first thoughts after I finished watching the MV was 'Kotaro would eat this up', and honestly, I still think he would. Whenever I listen to that song I think of Kotaro, and if someone uses the words 'Kotaro' and 'song' in the same sentence, 'Happy Happy' starts playing in my mind.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon, and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

The emoji that reminds me of Kotaro the most is probably this one: ⚡! He is known as 'The Raijuu', which means 'Lightning Beast', so the lightning emoji is an obvious one that would remind me of him!

He would definitely use lots of different emojis while texting, and would sometimes send the most specific and random emojis that exist. He just likes to add fun and color everywhere, even to the simplest messages! Another thing I think he would do when texting is just not use capital letters or any symbols like question marks and commas correctly. Capital letters for yelling, and commas and question marks when it feels right. While writing the words, he is thinking of what emojis to use, not about if his message is grammatically correct, readable or understandable. Of course, I think he would use slang while texting, and would use a lot of abbreviations like brb, lmao, wyd, ily... A lot of people don't know what he's trying to say a lot of times, but Kotaro would just find it funny!

'we had homework 😐❓📚🖊️ lmao'

'ok mum 💐😋👌💖'

'im at the park,, hbu 🛹😎🏀🍃'

'TF THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN BRO 🤨❓❓❗'

'i disagree w u!!! 👎🚫😃'

'actually reo i think its UR time to buy groceries + im kinda broke rn and ik u got money 🥦🥬💰 also buy me kappamaki pls 😘💗'

Re- reading the replace plus I can confirm midorima has a soft spot for momoi

[active-mind-15]

I have a headcanon that when the Teiko gang is older, Akashi gets tired of seeing Aomine and Momoi being oblivious to the relationship they have with each other, so he conspires with the other GoM + Kuroko to get them together and it works.

Kuroko no Basket Illustrations by Fujimaki Tadatoshi Source: Kuroko no Basket Replace 1

[wannabe-cartoonist-blog]

Random thought but if you had a whole crew of everyone required to make movies at your command, live action or animation, whichever you want, what kind of fan works would you make for KnB?

Oh man, not a movie technically but I would greenlight a Replace Plus anime adaptation SO fast. I love the moments where the teams and characters goof around outside of games/practice, and a whole series that focuses on that would be absolutely peak to me. Seirin exploring a creepy abandoned building? Shutoku helping Midorima find a lucky item? Kaijo shenanigans as they try (and fail) to land girlfriends? Sign. Me. Up.

But, if there was only one plot point I could adapt, I’d want to adapt the Teiko stuff. It’s so cute and so fun to see the GoM being young and silly (with maybe a little special episode on little Kagami and Himuro in America). Seeing animated KnB slice of life would heal me.

The next thing I think that’d be fun would be a prequel movie about the coaches when they were younger and played together on the Japanese National team. It would be so cool to see them in their prime, see what kind of skills they have. They all have interesting personalities that I think would be fun to see play off each other. And I’d love to see them playing against other countries/meet basketball players/new characters from other countries (like Yuri on Ice, which I’ve never seen but know features foreign competitors). (And maybe see a young rookie Team USA Alex vs. Team Japan Araki? 😉)

[kuroko-no-cuties]

BWAHHH Mitobe giving Kiyoshi a checkup after he said he tasted Riko’s cooking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Knb replace plus manga - series high’s basketball clubs biggest crisis

[mirioho]

considering he let his little sister hang this on his bedroom door I feel like it's just canon he's a softie for her

No one in the world has a softer heart than Midorima, although he hides it very well by acting tsundere.

The only person he’s not tsundere with is his little sister; with her, he’s absolutely the best big brother in the world and would do anything for her.

[mytragedyperson]

You can't imagine how excited I am to find someone who love both Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket! See, until now, I have different moots who only love either series above and think the other is less something. I'm the only one who loves both series in my groups, until I found you... 😆🤩

Now, as fan of both Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket, I will NOT ask which is better, because both series are amazing....

But, can you imagine in AU crossover, which characters will be besties from both series if they ever meet? Why do you think that? Please pick at least 5 characters from each series...

Also, if you were asked who are in Haikyuu and KnB that you can see based on canon that are gay/bi/pan/demi, which characters are they?

Thx ⭐

Yes. I've spoken about this before a little. And am happy to talk about it more.

I'll start with something over considered/spoken about before

1. Kageyama and GoM (especially Aomine and Momoi)

- not really surprising. If I can find a way to add Kageyama to something I will. As I said I discussed this one before.

- After his last middle school volleyball match, Kageyama simply can't play volleyball anymore.

- It was all he had left and even it ended up betraying him, letting him push everyone away.

- He can't stay and go to school in Miyagi, he could run into a former teammate, so he moves and goes to the same school as one of the GoM.

- Around this time, he discovers basketball, and his brain sees shooting and links it to setting, only he doesn't need anyone to spike it.

- He's fascinated

- He ends up practicing shooting and gets quite good, though he's not immediately as good at the other skills, he doesn't need to be, he doesn't plan to actually play basketball.

- Except someone on his school's team sees him shooting one day and decides over the summer to at least get him to try put, so after summer, they drag him to practice.

- He tries to get out of it but they get him practicing anyway and he does well enough to make it on the team.

- He actually enjoys basketball but feels like he's betraying his grandfather by quitting the sport he taught him and replacing it with a different sport.

- I've decided he goes to Touou and Momoi was the one that saw him shoot and took him to practice.

- Anyway he finds out about the GoM and is curious so finds and watches their games.

- he's fascinated by them. He's been called a prodigy himself, but it's nothing like this.

- and the way people talk about them, calling them monsters and freaks for what they can do on a basketball court? Well, Kageyama knows a thing or two about that.

- Kageyama is not a "basketball prodigy" in the way the GoM are, he's not like Kagami either. Basketball is new to him. He can provably figure out some of it due to similarities with volleyball concepts, but there will be rules and skills that are unique to basketball that he doesn't have at the start.

- He doesn't figure it all out instantly. It takes a lot of practicing, both on his own and with his teammates.

- along the way he meets the GoM.

- Momoi kind of adopts him after she realises Kageyama has no social skills but typically doesn't mean to hurt or upset people.

- Because of this, he meets Aomine.

- their friendship is not smooth sailing.

- Neither of them are good at friendship or socialising, but it wouldn't be terrible either.

- it doesn't take long for Kageyama to open up to them, mostly Momoi, about middle school, and Momoi has a way of getting everything out of him.

- in return, Momoi tells him a little bit about the generation of miracles, not a lot but enough for him to know how much Aomine used to love basketball.

- The GoM bond over being let down by their teachers and coaches in the past, particularly in their respective middle schools.

- Also, Kageyama is awkward with Kise at first, because Kise kinda reminds him of Oikawa, especially when Kageyama sees him and Kasamatsu interact, so Kageyama tries to avoid him at first.

- But Kise isn't really jealous of Kageyama in any way so they do eventually become friends. Kise still teases him a lot but its very different to how Oikawa mocked him in middle school. Also Kise is so physically affectionat, and so is Aomine in his own way, and Kageyama does not know how to handle it.

- also when he does lose his temper, they don't get scared and back down or shit talk behind his back, Aomine gives as good as he gets. All of Touou does. And Momoi is very good at calming him down and helping him say what he means.

- Kageyama still manages to meet Hinata again when Hinata gets lost during a training camp nearby. Hinata's shocked to learn he's no longer on a volleyball team. Hinata convinces him to practice with Karasuno just once (basically kidnaps him to do so) and Kageyama has fun but playing volleyball just isn't the same without his grandfather

- Kageyama grows to love basketball and becomes friends with his team and he doesn't stand out, so he isn't treated like a tyrant and a monster.

- at some point Kageyama finds out what happened to make Aomine fall out of love with basketball. Aomine doesn't tell him.

- okay now stuff I didn't discuss before.

- Him, Kise, Kagami, Aomine, basically all of them get so competitive over the dumbest things

- they heal together

- Akashi and Midorima don't like him at first because he's too dumb for them, but they eventually grow to like him

- they're all very protective over each other. They can mess with each other, but someone else does it, they'll all fight.

- if Kageyama is rich, like his family, maybe Akashi and Kageyama's parents know each other, and Akashi and Kageyama find out when they're both dragged to the same fancy rich people party.

- Kuroko doesn't know how to feel about Kageyama at first but they eventually have a very chill friendship.

- kageyama is secretly a really good chef and Murasakibara falls in live with his cooking.

- Kageyama gets his real, genuine smile back.

so Kageyama and GoM in general. They bond over the perils of being prodigies

2. Oikawa and Kise

- I mentioned before how I think Oikawa and Kise have some similarities

- model Oikawa AU

- They're bothe besties and rivals. They hate and love each other and are constantly talking shit about each other but also have each other's backs in the cutthroat modeling industry.

- Kise and Oikawa have known each other since before Kise met Kageyama.

- When Oikawa finds out Kise knows and is friends with Kageyama, he gets very whiny, but secretly he's happy that Kageyama has good friends. He felt bad when he realise Kageyama quit volleyball and moved away and he does apologise

- Oikawa constantly brags to the GoM about how much Kageyama used to look up to him.

- Oikawa and Iwaizumi double dates with Kise and Kasamatsu. Like, Kasamatsu and Iwaizumi are so done but too in love with their respective boyfriends to argue.

They have so many fangirls

Wait Kise and Oikawa fake dating to get their fangirls off their backs. (Iwaizumi and Kasamatsu don't want that kind of attention, it's less we're secretly dating and more only the people we actually know need to know)

Kise and Oikawa both just gossiping and talking shit about people. Like, these two are just besties

3. Osamu Miya and Murasakibara

A very chill friendship

They just hang out

maybe quietly judge people

eat snacks together

Osamu can cook so he makes stuff for Murasakibara

Murasakibara gets a friends' discount at onigiri Miya but buys so much onigiri from there that it cancels out really

On a similar note Suna, Osamu and Murasakibara.

They nap together

As i said their friendship is very chill, very calm. They're all just kinda hanging out and maybe quietly judging the people around them

4&5. Kagami Taiga, Aomine and Tanaka and Nishinoya

couldn't decide which one so both

They love Kagami. I'm sorry, Kagami is always ready to start shit and they love that

They think Kagami is so cool

Kagami sees their protectiveness over Kiyoko and Yachi. We already know Kagami respects women

Actually at first Kagami thinks Tanaka and Nishinoya have a crush on Kiyoko only because of her looks, until he offhandedly asks why they like her. Nishinoya can't really answer but Tanaka goes on a full rant about everything about Kiyoko and Kagami is like 'damn he really likes her. Okay, my bad'

This is just the trio of guys that think they're so cool but are really kinda losers. (I mean that affectionately, i love them, they're just not the cool guys they think they are and that's okay)

Chaotic friendship. Like this is not them being calm and hanging out. Half the time they get together it ends in them trying to fight someone

Kagami is their impulse control, the level-headed one. And he's Kagami, so the impulses are very much not controlled. Kagami is there.

oh my god, Kagami is secretly their scary dog protection. You know he's kind of a big guy, muscular. I imagine him glaring at you, if you didn't know him, would be fairly scary. Kagami and Nishinoya trying to fight someone for disrespecting women, they don't care. Kagami rolls up, doesn't even say anything, but suddenly those guys are very much sorry.

Add Aomine to this too. Someone was hitting on Momoi and making her uncomfortable. Listen, i love Momoi, I'm sure she'd try to stand up for herself but some men don't like that

Tanaka and Nishinoya see and intervene, as they would if it was Kiyoko, Yachi, etc.

Guy doesn't really care, isn't intimidated.

Kagami rolls up, recognises Momoi, doesn't really know the situation so goes over to check on Momoi, who quietly explains wahat's happening. Death glare.

Then Aomine comes. If this guy didn't already regret his choices and run off, he soon wishes he did, because Aomine can and will kick his ass, Kagami might too, hell, any of them would at least try to kick their asses.

And thus the most chaotic friend group forms. Not a braincell in sight (unless Momoi's with them), not an impulse controlled, so chaotic, so competetive, so loud, so ready to fight anyone and everyone all of the time. Someone save Momoi, she already had her work cut out for her with Aomine and Kagami, when they became friends or whatever they've got going on. Now she has to deal with Tanaka and Nishinoya too?

sexuality

Based on canon, first, Yachi is either lesbian or bisexual. I know it's mostly anxiety but no one can ever convince me the panic that made her agree to join the volleyball team wasn't a little gay, but at the same time I could see Yachi and Yamaguchi getting together at some point, so Yachi is bi, I think, at least in the anime

Sometimes I think there's a strong case for Kageyama being somewhere on the asexuality specturm. Just, the only people he seems to notice are those related to volleyball, so he's either gay but exclusively attracted to volleyball players or he's some form of asexual. I don't think he's attracted to women, personally, i just don't see it.

There's no way Kagami and Aomine are straight. They definitely fuck offscreen at some point and then just never mention it. Kagami could easily be gay, i see nothing to tell me he's attracted to women. Aomine could be pan, bi or gay and ot ultimately depends but, like, I really don't think either of them are straight. Not even for 'i ship them with each other' reasons. Aomine acts like Kuroko's jealous ex at first, upset because his ex partner found someone new, but he also becomes a source of encouragement and inspiration for them, especially Kagami. A lot of the time, when the focus is on Kagami during a game, it goes to Aomine soon after. For someone who pretends not to care, he really seems to care quite a bit.

I can't really think of others I think are gay, bi, pan, etc. because of the canon show. Like, I generally think most of them could be LGBT but that's mostly because of who I ship them with. Canonically? These are all I can think of for now. I've thought Yachi was attracted to women since I first saw her onscreen with the Kiyoko scene.

As I said, Kageyama I am undecided but I do think he could have been attracted to Oikawa. I see nothing to suggest he's attracted to women or girls or whatever. He could be one the asexuality spectrum somewhere

If anyone wants to send me asks for headcanons, snippets, drabbles or just questions like this, please feel free to ask. Hell I'm bored, ask me whatever as long as its fandom related or fiction related. To see what fandoms I write for, check my pinned post. I will probably add to it in the future as I think of things I liked and would be happy to write for. But it is for practice purposes.
