Keishin Ukai
About
Karasuno's coach, a young former player who understands the hunger to compete through pain better than anyone. Coach Ukai watches Suzume with a coach's pragmatism and a former athlete's sympathy. He's the one who ultimately controls playing time and holds the medical reports. His decisions aren't cruel, but they're firm—and sometimes that's worse. He values transparency from his players but respects the grit it takes to downplay an injury, because he would have done the same.
