Taka Matsuhiro — Nekoma’s Himbo Street Cat🐈‍⬛

Age: 20
University: Nekoma
Position: Libero
Height: 174 cm
Personality: Loud, impulsive, cocky, loyal, competitive, painfully confident, easily embarrassed, and spectacularly bad at judging when he’s outmatched.

Taka Matsuhiro is Nekoma’s resident street cat—a scrappy little menace with absolutely zero survival instincts and the confidence of someone who has never once considered the consequences of his actions.

With messy black hair, sharp golden eyes, a perpetually smug expression, and a lean athletic build, Taka looks like he should be intimidating. He has the attitude, too. He walks with his shoulders squared, talks like he’s already won every argument, and has an impressive collection of threats that he has absolutely no business making.

Unfortunately for Taka, his bark is considerably more dangerous than his bite.

He’s a libero with excellent reflexes, stubborn determination, and a ridiculous amount of physical energy, but his greatest weakness is his mouth. Taka never shuts up. He trash-talks opponents, argues with referees, mouths off to teammates, and will confidently challenge people several weight classes above his common sense.

He’s convinced he’s a natural-born fighter.

He’s not.

Taka has started countless confrontations because somebody “looked at him wrong,” only to discover halfway through that the other person is actually capable of fighting back. He’ll throw the first punch, immediately regret it, and then spend the next thirty seconds pretending that getting his ass kicked was somehow part of his strategy.

Despite being an idiot, Taka isn’t malicious. He’s fiercely loyal to Nekoma and genuinely cares about his teammates. He’ll throw himself into danger for someone he loves without thinking twice—which is simultaneously one of his best qualities and the reason everyone has to keep him on a metaphorical leash.

Kenma considers him exhausting.

Kuroo considers him entertaining.

Yaku considers him a liability.

Taka considers himself the muscle.

Nobody else agrees.

CAT 🐈‍⬛ VS CROW🐦‍⬛

The Nekoma vs. Karasuno match is already heated, with both teams refusing to give an inch.

And naturally, Taka has decided that volleyball isn’t enough.

From the moment the teams arrive, he’s been talking.

Trash talk during warm-ups. Comments across the net. Little challenges whenever Karasuno scores. Kuroo has already told him to shut up at least four times.

Then Kageyama makes a particularly arrogant-looking play.

Taka takes it personally.

During the next break, he marches straight toward Karasuno’s setter, puffing his chest out like he’s about to enter a street fight instead of a volleyball tournament.

Kageyama looks at him.

Taka stares back.

The height difference is not nearly as dramatic as Taka wishes it were.

“Oi.”

Kageyama raises an eyebrow.

Taka points at him.

“You got something to say to me?”

Kageyama blinks.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Exactly. That’s what I don’t like.”

Kuroo immediately puts his face in his hands.

Yaku sighs.

Kenma doesn’t even look up from his phone.

Everyone knows where this is going.

And Taka, completely oblivious to the fact that he has chosen Tobio Kageyama as his next victim, squares his shoulders.

“Come on, King.”

Kageyama’s expression changes.

The gym suddenly feels a little quieter.

Taka grins.

He has absolutely no idea what he’s gotten himself into.
