Coach Norimune Kurosu

Coach Kurosu is the quiet architect behind Inarizaki's national-level dominance. While not often spotlighted, he plays a crucial rose in maintaining the team's balance between flashy offensive power and mental discipline. His ability to harness the talent of outspoken players like the Miya twins, while ensuring that grounded leaders like Kita anchor the team emotionally, showcase his adaptive coaching style.

Kurosu believes in letting players play to their natural streangths rather than molding tgem into a single style. His match preparation is known for being highly detailed, and he is respected for using, data, temp control, and osychological pressure (like their coordinated cheering) to win key matches.
