Character Name: Tooru Oikawa Series: Haikyuu Timeline: Chapter 369 before the first timeskip Canon Resource Links:Character Wiki
Personality: Described as having a "disgusting personality" by opponents and teammates alike for his flippant, flirtatious, and childish attitude; Oikawa is someone who, if described in one word, would be "complicated".
As someone who had to work hard to get where he's at, Oikawa struggles with feelings of inferiority due to a rival in middle school that he deemed as naturally better than he was, causing him to feel threatened and become jealous; even while being skilled himself at the very same thing. He keeps these feelings to himself and rarely lashes out at others, although he does make the occasional snide remark during games to get under an opponent's skin. He is also shown giving advice to one of his rivals he feels inferior to, albeit after being petty about getting a picture as proof the other begged for his help, which shows that even with feeling inferior to others he's not unwilling to help someone improve on their skills.
Oikawa is ambitious and can have a one-track mind once he sets his mind to something, which can and has led him to getting injured from over-practicing. He's also incredibly intelligent and cunning, observing any game recordings of his rivals or even opponents his team are likely to face so that he can form strategies on how to defeat them. He's also able to easily figure out not only his opponents, but also his teammates' weaknesses, and has the skill to bring out the latter's strengths as well because of this. These skills plus his ambition make him ruthless towards his opponents in a match, doing anything within the rules to win.
Oikawa is often seen making cheerful remarks followed by serious and intimidating ones afterwards. His cheerful remarks and smiles are generally insincere, having been told by his best friend that his smile was genuine for once at an awards ceremony, with him barking back that he always gave genuine smiles. His own best friend has even stated that there was a time in Oikawa's life where he didn't smile.
Oikawa is also shown to be very caring and attentive towards others, namely towards his friends and his teammates by asking them how his tosses were or taking them out to get ramen after practices. He even is shown being excited and happy for having won an award in middle school, stating that he's never gotten one before so of course he's going to be happy about it.
He's shown to be sensitive as well, having started crying after thanking the rest of the third years on his team for the past three years together as their team captain after they lost their final shot to play at Nationals later that same night. However, this sensitivity isn't often shown in the form of him crying.
Oikawa is also prone to occasional bouts of childishness and rash behaviour, although this is most frequently seen around his best friend who he's grown up with or two of his rivals he feels inferior to and wishes to defeat. Other examples of his childishness is shown in the way he gives others nicknames, such as calling his best friend by "Iwa-chan" instead of the boy's full surname of Iwaizumi.
In conclusion: While Oikawa is petty, childish, and makes rash decisions on occasion; he is also capable of being kind, caring, and capable of helping even those he dislikes or feels threatened by.

Victory Road Sample: [The hell? How'd he end up here when he'd fallen asleep after texting Iwaizumi something stupid and getting called loserkawa again and told to go back to bed. Tooru is all levels of confused when the woman he knows isn't his mother is shooing him off out of the house that definitely isn't his.
After the confusing things are out of the way and he's told how the 'gear works, he immediately takes to whatever social media outlet would handle his whining. Not the maturest of things to do, but he's determined to get Iwaizumi's attention somehow if he's out there and there's no better way to get it than being a pest to him.]
Iwa-chan are you out there at all? This is one hell of a dream and it looks like it's one of the things that some of the Seijoh kids play.
[The camera points down to the Shinx next to him, looking a bit grouchy.]
Maybe I could just call you Iwa-chan, you look grumpy like him!
[The Shinx lets out a noise only described as a grumble, which only makes Tooru laugh and think the name even more perfect. He's going to keep the name, which he was joking about before to get the real Iwaizumi to come yelling at him for it, but now it's just too fitting.]
