Most of the players are powerful enough to become aces of the team. Most also went to Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High and were invited to Aoba Johsai to join the volleyball team.

Aoba Johsai's notable are Oikawa, the Miyagi's prefecture best all-around player and the Captain, and Setter of the team, and Iwaizumi the team's vice-captain and ace with his powerful spikes and serves, and also Kyotani, a 2nd year that struggles to play along with his teamates but has power spikes.

It has been noted that the team's strength is actually based on the star setter, Tōru Oikawa, who balances and brings out all of the players' abilities.
