He is a only son of Daimon-cho's landlord, which locates on the edge of Fukui. He begins to play volleyball seriously after re-encountering his childhood friend Haijima. He often fails in the important moments since he is weak to pressure, although he has a high physical ability. Voice Actor: Enoki Junya Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work. This is often misunderstood to be the sportsmen's stories since the theme is a volleyball, but this keeps characters' relationship precious as well, and therefore I felt that this also has a story to it. Q2. Please tell us your impression and enthusiasm on your character. Kuroba loves volleyball, at the same time, he is not thorough and weak to pressure. I want to see how he grows up by being affected by Haijima. I want to delicately play him also by feeling the atmosphere of Fukui, since the story is set there. Character: Haijima Kimichika Height: 181 cm Uniform Number: 8 Position: Center A first-year student in Nanafu Seiin High School. He moved Tokyo when he was in elementary school because of his parent's work. He was in the high school with a good winning record in volleyball, but he moves back to Fukui after this incident. He is a volleyball freak who only thinks about volleyball. Voice actor: Ono Kenshou Q1. Please tell us your impression on this work. My ame is Ono Kenshou, and I will be playing Haijima Kimichika. I read the novel for the first time at the time of the audience, and I got an impression that this novel makes me cheer the characters naturally because they work seriously on volleyball. Q. Please tell us the impression and enthusiasm on your character. Kimichika is a volleyball freak who distances himself away from others. I want to show his hidden passion toward volleyball behind the cool impression. I was relieved because he speaks without dialect, since all other characters speak with Fukui dialect... Character: Aoki Misao Height: 193 cm Uniform Number: 2 Position: Middle Blocker A 3rd-year student in Nanafu Seiin High School. He begins to play volleyball after being invited by Oda after entering the high school. He is a smart student who is the vice captain the club and is the vice president of the student council, but has a bad mouth. Voice Actor: Umehara Yuuichirou Q1. Please tell me your impression on this work. This reminds me of youth because the characters devote themselves into volleyball so much. Passion and anxiety can be related by both people who were the athletes and those who were not. Also, this work sound more realistic by dialects. Q2. Please tell us your impressions and enthusiasm on your character. Aoki Misao is a smart boy who behaves as he is a easy-going minded. His passion toward volleyball is true, although he often hides his true feelings. I feel the way how Aoki supports the captain Oda very charming. I think you can enjoy the relationship between the two. I feel dialect as a challenging factor while I play him. Character: Oda Shinichirou Height: 163 cm Uniform Number: 1 Position: Wing Spiker A 3rd-year student in Nanafu Seiin High School. He is the captain of boy's volleyball club. He has passion toward volleyball than anybody else, but thinking to quit volleyball after graduation because he does not have enough height. Voice Actor: Itou Kento Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work. I learned that "2.43", the number in the title, is the height of the net for boy's volleyball. An actual number makes the net looks higher. This youth story contains passion, sadness and impatience through the sport played over the net, and I felt that this is charming. Q2. Please tell us your impression and enthusiasm on your character. The first impression is that he is short. Shortness of his height is evident when he stands by his teammates, although he is a captain and a wing spiker. To be honest, I never worried about my height. This is a new experience for me because this is a mixture of excitement and nervousness when facing Oda and playing him. Character: Kanno Akihito Height: 181 cm Uniform Number: 4 Position: Wing Spiker A 2nd-year student in Nanafu Seiin High School. He participates in the girl's volleyball club practice when the boys are practicing outside because he cannot exercise outside much due to his health conditions. Voice Actor: Aoi Shouta Q1. Please tell me your impression on this work. This work neatly depicts each character's feelings, including the misunderstandings often occurring in youth, and I think both volleyball players and non-volleyball players can enjoy this! Q2. Please tell me your impression and enthusiasm on your character. Akihito is a really nice boy, but he cannot exercise long in outdoors because he skin is weak. I want to deliver Akihito's good points through my acting. Fukui Publicist Comment: Aoi Shouta I am so honored to be nominated for this position! I will do my best to complete my task. Character: Ookuma Yuusuke Height: 187 cm Uniform Number: 10 Position: Middle Blocker A 2nd-year student in Nanafu Seiin High School. He switched to the volleyball from different club after being invited by the vice president Aoki. He has no delicacy than anyone else. Voice Actor: Kimura Subaru Q1. Please tell me your impression on this work. The novel by Kabei Yukako-sensei has neat depiction of the characters, and Yamakawa Aiji-san's illustration was heart-touching. I am already excited to be the part of this! Q2. Please tell me your impression and enthusiasm on your character. My name is Kimura Subaru, and I will be playing Ookuma Yuusuke. I felt him as interesting and dynamic characters since I first read his lines, so I will do my best to deliver the world view of this anime neatly as possible, so please look forward to it! The author: Kabeki Yukako This novel will become anime with many support since the serialization in 2012. "2.43" means "2m43cm", and also the height of net generally for boys and "Spring High School Volleyball Competion", so please measure it once. I am looking forward to see the games in animation held at much higher spot than the net. There are wonderful staff participating for this anime. The fans of the novel, the fans who learned about this by anime adoption, and the volleyball fans- please look forward to this. There is also a collaboration with Fukui Pref., where the story is taking place. Fukuoka? Fukushima? No, Fukui! Please also learn about Fukui.
