HAIKYUU TRIVIA

HAIBA LEV

灰羽  リエーフ

• Height :  - 194.3 cm  (April)
               - 194.5 cm (July)

• Weight : 79.7 kg

• Birthday :  October 30

• Age :  16

• His favorite food is oinarisan.

• Lev and Yaku are parallels in physical traits. While Lev is a towering figure, Yaku is short, even if he doesn't like to admit it.

• His star sign is Scorpio.

• His half-Russian heritage gives him height, exceptional limb length, and physical ability.

• Lev first meets Hinata in Chapter 78, and the relationship between the two is both competitive and playful, as the two have similar personalities.

• He is shown to be quite childish and cheerful, as displayed by his making fun of Hinata's height.

• His jersey number is 11.

• His most notable ability yet is his whip-like spike, first displayed in Chapter 79. Hinata, in particular, is amazed by this spike, telling Lev "It's incredible, how your spikes made it seem like the blockers being there didn't even matter."

• Just like Kenma, he doesn't like Kuroo's prematch speeches and famous quote "we're like blood in our veins...".

• Lev's current concern is that his senpais try to give him weird nicknames.

• Lev's appearance, as well as his piercing eyes, causes people to believe he is much more intimidating and serious than he actually is.

• Though he can be blunt, he never seems to mean any harm and adopts a playful attitude towards most things. Lev's bluntness leads him to point out Yaku's shortness , much to Yaku's annoyance. The libero makes sure to reprimand Lev; often physically hitting him in his anger.

• Lev has an older sister named Alisa.

• His basic abilities are weaker (much like Hinata's, as Kenma had mentioned), but his strike, height, and physical ability make up for this.

• Lev's teammates don't seem to acknowledge his calling himself Nekoma's ace; Taketora in particular, who claims "a guy who can barely handle a defense can't go calling himself an "ace"".  Kenma even goes so far as to say, "His basics in throwing spikes and stuff are absolutely awful, even worse than Hinata's. His back spin kicks are crappier than Hinata's, too."

• 'Lyovochka' is his Russian pet name from Alisa.

• He is nicknamed Behemoth and Skyscraper by Yaku.

• Lev is a half-Japanese, half-Russian first-year. He was born and raised in Japan and, consequently cannot speak Russian, despite being of Russian-Japanese descent.

• During the Spring Training Arc, he started improving by learning to read block.

• His name Lev (Лев) means lion.
