Best shiratorizawa players haikyuu

Satori Tendō wins 61% of his duels and tops the Shiratorizawa Academy ranking ahead of Wakatoshi Ushijima.

The gap between ranks 2 and 3 tells a stark story: 147 ELO points separate Wakatoshi Ushijima from Tsutomu Goshiki, a distance wider than any other split in this ranking. Ushijima claims 1403 ELO despite trailing the unpredictable Tendō, whose 1419 ELO crowns him the community's choice. That Tendō edges past the team's ace reveals a fondness for his psychological tactics and unorthodox blocking style over raw power. At the ranking's base, Reon Ōhira sits at 1010 ELO with a 29% win rate across 24 duels, suggesting that even within Shiratorizawa's elite roster, supporting players struggle to capture the same attention as their flashier teammates. Taichi Kawanishi and Hayato Yamagata occupy similar territory just above him, their modest win rates reflecting the hierarchy fans perceive within the squad.

This ranking draws from 2941 duels submitted by 206 players, comparing all 8 contenders from the powerhouse academy. Updated on 10 October 2026, it captures where the community stands on Shiratorizawa's lineup after nearly three thousand head-to-head choices. The data remains open: cast your vote in new duels to shift the standings or cement the current order.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
