Tobio Kageyama is a member of the volleyball club of Karasuno High School. In the club, he is a setter. He was originally nicknamed "The King of the Court" a nickname given by his teammates at Kitagawa Daiichi High School. Despite his personality, he is considered a true prodigy or an absolute genius by many players and coaches in the prefecture.
After joining Karasuno, he managed to change his attitude with the help of his friends and tried to rediscover the feeling of playing as a team and not as a loner.

History
Past
In his old school, he was commonly called by his nickname "The king of the field" infamous for his arrogant attitude and his inability to cooperate with his teammates, he preferred to command them. He played with his team against Hinata's team and won the match:(25 - 5, 25 - 8).
Kageyama has bad experiences in his former school. His selfish attitude and his desire to win did not suit his teammates. During a match, Kageyama gave them orders to win and was too demanding. His teammates, annoyed, refused to receive his passes which were much too fast for them, and left the field leaving him alone. The coach had to replace him, which deeply traumatized Tobio.
This is the main reason why he is so afraid of his team abandoning him once again, and he gets angry when people call him by his nickname or refer to his former behavior.
Season 1
At the beginning of her first year in Karasuno, Hinata sees him at the gym. Just after their reunion, Daichi, Sugawara and Tanaka arrive in their turn and recognize Kageyama directly. They are curious, and they don't understand why "The king of the court" came to Karasuno when there were schools with much more famous volleyball teams. Hinata, feeling completely excluded from the conversation, shouts loudly that he is present and that he will be the champion of Karasuno.
Daichi explains that they should not be enemies but partners but neither of them listens to him, which irritates the captain. When Hinata challenges Kageyama, this last one sent an extremely powerful service and Tanaka himself admitted that he would not have known how to receive it. Kageyama returned the serve a second time but the ball bounced off the head of the club's supervisor which took the wig off his head and landed on Daichi's head. The latter, known for his kindness but who when annoyed becomes terrifying, takes the applications of Kageyama and Hinata and gives them back, he kicks them out and says that he doesn't want to see them again until their relationship has improved. Hinata and Kageyama beg him behind the door but without any answer. Desperate, Kageyama promises that he will try to get along with Hinata, Daichi opens the door and asks him if what he says is true. Frightened, Kageyama tells the truth and says that he will make the team win and that they don't need Hinata. After that, they stay outside while thinking of a solution to enter the volleyball club. Kageyama then proposes to challenge the volleyball club for a match, to show them that he can get along with Hinata. The club accepts by making Tanaka play with them, and Daichi also imposes the condition that if they lose the match, they will be accepted in the club but Kageyama will never play as setter for the team. This irritates the latter, but he accepts the condition. After their interview with the volleyball club Hinata asks Kageyama why he likes to be a setter while saying that hitters are more "classy". Kageyama then gets angry and yells in his face that setters are the control towers of a team, that they hold the ball the longest and starts to explain the job of a setter in a match, to make Hinata understand why he wants to be a setter.
Then they stay outside, complaining because they want to go back inside and play. At the end of the day, Tanaka, who knows that Kageyama and Hinata are still outside, asks (speaking loudly, so that they can hear) to Sugawara what time is the training the next day, to which Sugawara answers that it will be at 7 o'clock, as usual. Kageyama and Hinata, having understood the message, decide to come the next morning at 5 o'clock in order to train before the others arrive, even if they don't have the right.
Kageyama and Hinata arrive the next day, but they can't open the door because it is locked. Tanaka arrives and opens the door for them, but they start to argue about who will go in first.
They start the training, also helped by Sugawara who joined them by understanding what Tanaka wanted to do. Hinata tries to convince Kageyama to make a pass to him, but he refuses because he doesn't think that Hinata is strong enough to make the team win and score points.
Later, Kageyama, while buying a drink in a vending machine, overhears Hinata and Sugawara talking about him, and Hinata's wish to beat him and become the best.
After class, Kageyama tells Hinata that he found a place to train, near the soccer club, and they train together until nightfall, when Kei Tsukishima interrupts their training and provokes Kageyama, saying that he will win their 3-on-3 match. He calls him a "king", which makes Kageyama angry, and he grabs Tsukki by the collar, before releasing him and leaving without saying anything. Hinata then defends Kageyama, catching the ball that Tsukki took from them and telling him to leave Kageyama alone, and that they were going to win the 3 against 3.
Hinata trains hard the following days. So, the morning before their match, he is able to catch Kageyama's serve without any problem.
They train hard and Hinata reaches his limit when Kageyama thinks he's ready and decides to pass to him. Hinata is happy, and hits his first pass from Kageyama with a big smile.
The morning of the day of their match, Kageyama is seen walking and Hinata coming with speed behind him. Their run to the gym, when they arrive they are already tired and Tanaka comments about it.
Their match starts by Tanaka with Kageyama drawing, when Hinata tried to score, he got blocked by Tsukishima continuously. Because of this continuous Tsukishima make appeal and fun of Kageyama him the "king", but he got defended by Hinata when Tsukishima started to talk about lost game of Kageyama when nobody came to dope his draw.
The match continues and Kageyama thinks to spike Tanaka, but Hinata comes from behind and instinctively throws to him, although Hinata has spiked the ball, it ended up out of bounds.
Kageyama thought of another method to beat their opponents, explaining a fast attack to Hinata in a strange way. Kageyama throws the ball but Hinata is not able to catch it and he starts to shout at him only to stop halfway. Then Sugawara comes and explains to Kageyama to try to synchronize with Hinata's movements. He thinks about her and then tells her to use her strongest raise, and her best speed because he will use all his abilities. Hinata doesn't understand, but still, he jumps and points with closed eyes. He gets the time of the ball first but continues to move in his face the next times. Kageyama realizes that it is not easy, but it is fun and smiles. But Hinata yells to him to smile because his play still bad to receive the ball to his face.
They started with their fast attack and attacks with Tanaka thanks to Hinata who served them as a decoy.
And so, they won the game with the score of the second series 25-21.
At the end, Daichi and Sugawara were surprised because they didn't expect Hinata and Kageyama to coordinate so well. Afterwards, they were accepted in the club and they received their black uniforms, the same day.
