Playing Kawanishi Taichi, Tsuji Ryoushirou

From Shiratorizawa Academy, playing Kawanishi Taichi, my name is Tsuji Ryoushirou. Furudate-sensei, thank you so much for all your hard work on this series over the past eight and a half years! Kawanishi is a character that’s nothing but attractive, and it was a privilege for me to be able to play him. When I was cast, I remember being worried about how we could properly present such a heated match. But when I go back to rewatch that scene, I can so vividly remember that feverish heat. My time spent being involved with Haikyuu was so wonderful, and I was really able to bask in my youth again. Thank you so much for that experience. And finally, thank you so much for all your hard work on this series! Thank you!
lol this is just so cute, he casually said that he hacked into Ryoushirou’s (Kawanishi) account and then used でござる to introduce himself which is actually a more polite form of desu and not many Japanese people use this but you can still hear it in Anime. Moreover, he was fascinated by Instagram since he doesn’t have an IG account
I had this photo saved on my tablet that made me feel happy and inspired. I don't remeber which one of them posted it. I bet Tendou and Kawanishi would like to imortalize the rare occurance that is Shirabu smiling.
I have to thank Katoken for existing and being the cutest, most precious human out there. Nobu, your smile is the cutest thing and you are just adorable. Ryoushirou, you are the prettiest Kawanishi I've ever seen and I love how artistic you are.
In light of Engeki Haikyuu (and all other stage shows) having to cancel their tours during this pandemic, Kouhei (1st Tanaka) kicked off a hashtag on Twitter to get all members of Gekidan Haikyuu (the Haikyuu cast present and former) to chime in. Many are quoting their characters’ lines and adjusting them to fit the pandemic situation as well as giving other words of support to each other and to fans.

Ughh here comes that annoying (virus)
Ryoushirou uses one of Kawanishi’s thoughts from during the Shiratorizawa match when Karasuno is lining up to do a synchronized attack, but here he applies it to the coronavirus instead of a murder of crows~
AWW, this is soooo cute, AriKen saying EHHH? when Shuuji told him to say something instead, Shunichi hitting Nobunaga’s head and he was just like “ouch, that hurts” and I just loved how Katou Ken was slightly jumping over and over again at the back.
