__Introduction:__
Hayato Yamagata is a third year libero in Shiratorizawa Academy.

__Personality:__
He is serious and focused on the game. When Nishinoya pulled off an incredible move, Yamagata grinned widely. It's been shown he is similar to Nishinoya when it comes to 'getting into' the game, yet he seems more aggressive than most liberos. Yamagata is also seen being very supportive of his kouhai, Goshiki, and was shown telling Ushijima when he was being unintentionally rude towards him. He appears to be very protective of the younger years and often acts as a mentor.
