Kiyoko Shimizu

Kiyoko Shimizu is a third-year student at Karasuno High. She is one of the managers for the Karasuno boys' volleyball team for majority of the series. As of November 2018, she is married to Ryūnosuke Tanaka and has changed her name to Kiyoko Tanaka. She currently works as a sports store employee. Kiyoko is a girl of average height with shoulder-length black hair that she tucks behind on the left side while the rest hangs on the right side with a single small hair piece hanging in the middle. She has grey eyes with visible long eyelashes, a distinct mole located on the lower left side of her chin and she wears square-rimmed glasses with pink rims and bridge. She is most commonly described as an extremely attractive, albeit "erotic" girl who would often garner a lot of attention from both male and female students; including from other school teams. Because of her appearance, Karasuno High is generally known as the team with the beautiful manager. Prior to her first appearance, she is seen wearing a white tracksuit with a single periwinkle stripe on both the sleeves of her jacket and on her sweatpants. Afterwards, she is most commonly seen to wear the Karasuno's volleyball club uniform from then on. Outside of club activities, Kiyoko is seen wearing a pair black tights with her school uniform, regardless of the season. This is mainly due to hiding the scars that she received from her days as a hurdle jumper. During her days as a track athlete, as shown in a flashback, she was shown wearing a sky blue colored tracksuit with purple tennis shoes and cyan blue accents. She was not seen wearing the glasses she commonly wears and she had her hair tied up in a ponytail. When Daichi had first recruited Kiyoko into being a team manager during their first year in high school, after she retired from track, she was seen wearing her hair in two pigtails. In her third year, she would be seen to occasionally wearing her hair up in a ponytail. Post-timeskip, her hair is seen cut short to about chin-length with bangs swept to the right side and she no longer wears her glasses or leggings. Kiyoko is generally known for her aloof and straightforward personality as she is known to be serious and passionate about her position as the volleyball club's team manager. She is also shown to care a lot about the team members in the volleyball club. Even going as far as to fix and wash up Karasuno's banner in order to boost up the team's morale. Surprisingly enough, she's shown to be very shy when it comes to giving a speech, such as when she wished the volleyball team to do their best. After Kiyoko recruits Hitoka Yachi and she later joins the volleyball team, she begins to open herself up a lot more and is seen smiling and talking more often, even cracking jokes to let Yachi ease up whenever the latter feels anxious. It can also be noted that Kiyoko is surprisingly strong and capable, as she was quick enough to knock a ball flying towards Yachi without flinching, which may be due to her past as a track athlete.
