btw Tokita, Shoji, and Yaotome's first names haven't been mentioned within canon, as far as I know. I came up with my own for them with the help of Nazuke Pon. It's a really useful site for Japanese names! I've put some of the meanings of the characters below:

Tokita Shizuka (時田静火)

静: Quiet. No sound. No movement. Calm.

火: Fire. Flames.

Shoji Riku (庄子陸)

陸: Land. A land of undulating hills and mountains. A land that is not covered with water.

Yaotome Tohri (八乙女純利)

純: Pure. Unpretentious. To be in one's natural state. Raw silk.

利: Sharp. Smart. Wise. Good at work. Good. Useful. (blade) sharp. To be sharp. To say things.

Some of the Karasuno team (mostly Nishinoya, Tanaka, and Hinata) call Yaotome "Tori", the word for "bird" in Japanese. It's because Nishinoya accidentally called him that once, since "Tori" sounds similar to "Tohri". Because the nickname fits the team's image and Yaotome himself, it stuck.

OC Mundane Tag Game

@authortobenamedlater and @christian-latte-anon tagged anyone who wanted to do it, and I do!

Rules: Pick an oc you'd like to talk about and answer the questions for them! Then tag ten people, or as many as you can. 'Underdeveloped character I adopted' is fine, too! Absolutely no pressure to play, though.

Also, if some of it can't apply to your ocs, just answer what would be the answer - like if they're in a historical setting, they likely can't watch movies, but what is a movie they'd like?

(Also, most people have many ocs, so feel free to retag people and answer as many times as you get tagged! Or get really wild and just answer for as many ocs as you'd like! :D)

Questions:

What is their favorite movie?

What is their favorite season?

What do they find annoying?

Do they play an instrument? If so, what? How good are they at it?

What's their favorite meal to eat?

Do they have a favorite video game or board game?

Do they celebrate their birthday?

What's their bedtime routine?

What's an oc (or canon character) that they like to spend time around? What do they tend to do together?

[I removed one question I didn't want to answer from the list.]

OK! I wanna answer for canon characters who we barely know anything about: Tokita, Shoji, and Yaotome (pictured below, left to right). Even though these images of them are from after high school, most of my answers are for how they were in their first year.

Image source: Haikyū!! Wiki

Tokita: (Skipping ahead to 2022...) Riverside Mukolitta. It has this offbeat humour that he likes. Shoji: He doesn't really watch movies, so he doesn't have one. But he enjoys watching NHK documentaries from time to time and of course, volleyball tournaments. Yaotome: Pacific Rim >:)

Tokita: Summer. He has particularly dry skin, so winter is painful. Even though high humidity isn't comfortable either, it's much better than having continuously cracking and bleeding skin. Shoji: Spring. Yaotome: Spring.

Tokita: Having to engage in conversation with someone he finds boring. Shoji: Even though he continuously puts in his best effort, he just can't seem to get grades higher than just passing... Yaotome: Not knowing something. If he thinks of something and doesn't know the answer, he generally won't be able to feel comfortable until he finds it.

None of them play instruments. But Tokita likes recording the sounds of all sorts of objects and creatures, then making unusual-sounding tracks with them.

Tokita: A simple cheeseburger. Shoji: Sansai tempura with udon. Yaotome: There are too many delicious meals! He can't pick.

Tokita: Portal 2. Shoji: Mario Kart Wii. Yaotome: Go.

They all celebrate.

Tokita: He plays audio recordings he took during a trip to Hokkaido a couple years back and falls asleep to that. These include the sounds of Lake Toya, a pebble being kicked along a street, and a road in Otaru with cars rolling along. Shoji: He prepares his things for the next day, brushes his teeth, says goodnight to everyone (including the cat) then goes to bed. Yaotome: He repeatedly gets distracted by different things and his parents have to keep reminding him to go to bed until he finally does.

Tokita: He likes spending time with his younger brother. Tokita feels more free to talk about anything with his brother compared to anybody else. Shoji: Yaotome. Yaotome: Shoji. Shoji and Yaotome are best friends and spend a lot of time together. Yaotome helps Shoji with his studies because Yaotome finds academics pretty easy. They also just Hang Out. Yaotome often has an urge to infodump, so he appreciates that he's free to do it to Shoji. Even though he often struggles to keep up, Shoji likes learning about all these new things.
