Daichi Sawamura
澤村 大地(さわむら だいち)
Simplified Name: 泽村大地
Gender: Male
Height: 176.8cm
Weight: 70.1kg
Birthday: December 31
Height: 176.8→176.7 cm / Weight: 70.1 kg / Highest jump reach: 310 cm / Birthday: December 31 / Favorite food: Soy sauce ramen / Recent concern: Frequently dreaming about the vice principal's wig flying off
A third-year student and captain of the Karasuno High School boys' volleyball team, playing as a wing spiker (WS). His jersey number is 1.
Although he doesn't make flashy plays, his experience-backed high receiving ability and his clever plays in spikes and serves, despite lacking power, make him a utility player who also plays in the opposite position. He is highly regarded by players from strong schools like Oikawa (Aoba Johsai captain) and Oohira (Shiratorizawa), to the extent that they say, "Without Sawamura, Karasuno's defense would be full of holes." He seems concerned about his lack of height, feeling down about shrinking by 1mm. From the spring tournament, he also started performing back attacks, and Kita (Inarizaki captain) has said, "Sawamura is not just a defensive player, but a spiker good at defense."
As the foundation of the team, he has shown excellent leadership, striving to fulfill his responsibilities as captain since middle school with the belief that "you can't win if you don't try to win." He supports the impulsive Kageyama-Hinata duo (Nishinoya calls it "cleaning up after them"), restrains the often reckless Tanaka-Nishinoya duo, and encourages the negative Tōno, thus supporting his teammates' mental states as the team's pillar. Though inexperienced as a leader, Tsukishima and Takeda admire him.
He is honest and generally mild-mannered, but his anger can be frightening, feared not only by juniors but also by classmates like Sugawara and Tōno. Because he puts the club and its members first, he is highly trusted, and while he appears mature due to his role as the main pillar, he also shows his age-appropriate mischievousness, such as accidentally ringing the emergency bell in a scuffle over bread at the school store and getting scolded by a teacher. He has the courage not to panic on the surface even in the face of intense plays by opponents or disputes among teammates, but he seeks support from those around him in times of trouble and has bad dreams due to his anxiety. Kuroo (Nekoma captain) and he regard each other as "tough opponents." Oikawa calls him "Captain-kun." He is also depicted as being clueless about women's feelings.
His goal is to win the national tournament. Like Hinata, he admired the Karasuno High School volleyball team members who participated in the Spring High and enrolled in the same school. Initially troubled by the gap between his admiration and reality, as he witnessed the "fallen powerhouse" with no coach or unified goals, he began to think about self-training and practice methods with Sugawara and Tōno, who were also new members, aiming to break out of the current situation. His unwavering strength is also acknowledged by Tsukishima, who has seen the underlying determination. Even after the Interhigh prefectural qualifiers, when his homeroom teacher was concerned about his declining academic performance, and he himself was wondering whether he should pass the baton to strong juniors sooner, Sugawara (third-year vice-captain) saw through his true feelings, and he decided to aim for the Spring High. After graduating from Karasuno High School, he became a police officer and is currently a member of the Community Safety Division of the Miyagi Prefectural Police.
His academic performance is excellent (advanced class).
