5 Best Captains From Haikyuu!!, Ranked (Unexpectedly, but Bokuto is on the List)

What makes a good captain brilliant?

There are many outstanding teams in Haikyuu!!, and captains play a large role in their success. We have seen the crucial role of captains in games many times — they cheer up other players, act as liaisons, or serve as role models.

Not only Daichi, but also the leaders of other teams make a great impression (sometimes secondary characters surprise more). Haikyuu!!’s characters are generally well-written — their stories are different from each other and each character has their own distinctive elements and personality traits.

So which team captains can be called the best?

5. Kotaro Bokuto

Bokuto is hardly a good captain in the usual sense. The Fukurodani leader has a very capricious and fickle character. The other players often have to cheer him up, even though it is the captain's job to do so.

However, at the peak of his powers and in a good mood, Bokuto is very inspiring. His strength is also quite impressive.

4. Tetsuro Kuroo

Kuroo is a perfect fit for his team. Nekoma plays as a unified mechanism — this team doesn't have super strong athletes, but it's pretty successful (of course, they've gone far in the nationals).

Nekoma's leader doesn't stand out, but he's strong and not silly at all. He knows how to stimulate the most calculating and smart but very lazy player — Kenma.

3. Daichi Sawamura

Karasuno's leader doesn't have any outstanding skills. He is not as strong as the other captains. However, Daichi is a good example of a reliable captain: he maintains a good atmosphere in Karasuno.

When players are in trouble, Daichi is the first to try to help them. He can also be strict when necessary and does a great job as a coach.

2. Wakatoshi Ushijima

Ushijima is incredibly strong and serves as a role model for all the players. Largely due to the captain, Shiratorizawa is undoubtedly one of the strongest Haikyuu!! teams.

Ushijima is not only the captain, but also an ace (the strongest player) whose attacks are impressive. If Bokuto wasn't so capricious, he would be similar to Ushijima.

1. Toru Oikawa

Perhaps the only captain who is more of a setter than an attacking player. However, his serves are impressive — he is the first character to show a jump serve. Oikawa is very intelligent and has a good grasp of what is happening on the court.

Of course, he can serve as a role model, but his main job as captain is to analyze his teammates' abilities and choose the best strategies.
