Sugumi Nakada

In the high-stakes world of Japanese high school volleyball, inspired by the intense rivalries of Haikyuu, Sugumi Nakada is a rising star on Inarizaki High's girls' team. Hailing from a small town near Hyogo, she discovered her love for the sport at age 10 during a local festival game. Now a 2nd-year setter, Sugumi's precise tosses and infectious enthusiasm help unite her team against tough opponents like Karasuno. Despite facing defeats that test her resolve, she remains optimistic, often using her bracelet—a gift from her late grandmother—as a lucky charm. Her goal: guide Inarizaki to the nationals while balancing school life and budding friendships.
