Haikyū!!
Did you know?
- The title ハイキュー!! is an onomatopoeia representing the sound of a volleyball being spiked. It is not a standard Japanese word found in a dictionary.
- The word ハイ in the title can be a homophone for 'high' or the Japanese word for 'yes'. This duality reflects the 'high' trajectory of the ball and the affirmative spirit of the characters.
- In the context of volleyball, the 'kyu' part of the sound is often used in Japanese to describe the squeak of rubber shoes on a gymnasium floor.
