Personality

Being the vice-captain, he has a kind and reassuring personality to his teammates and acts as a pillar of support for them. Although he is no longer Karasuno's usual point guard, he does not dream of stopping playing. As such, he encourages himself and all of his teammates to never give up, no matter how difficult the situation is. Sugawara's dedication to volleyball becomes clear when he decides to continue with the club's activities, even when most of the third-year students choose to withdraw to focus on his future. At a meeting, his teacher asked Sugawara why he is so determined to continue playing even though he is not a regular member, and Sugawara replied that he does not want to regret it in the future. He is also quite insightful in noting how Tanaka asked for the key to the gym right before the first years' 3-on-3 match, even though he is always late. He is also intelligent, as he can come up with useful tactics during games that his team members can use. An example of this is when he came up with the idea of ​​saying "bring it" and "send it to me" for Kageyama and Hinata's combo. Sugawara also came up with the hand signs during the night while all of his classmates were sleeping. Despite his caring demeanor, he is sometimes mischievous, as seen by how he supports Hinata when he barged into the first-year training camp uninvited. He also tends to get violent when he teases his teammates, often hitting them when he is excited to join the game; although this also has the effect of encouraging the team. He is also quite proud, although he rarely shows it. Notable examples are when he said: "Kageyama, from now on, if you start being bombarded with interviews, you will say 'I learned everything from a magnificent senpai named Sugawara.'
