Ikeda Senior High

Ikeda Senior High School is a High School in the Hyōgo Prefecture.

Volleyball Club
Ikeda Senior has been a long-time powerhouse school in Hyōgo. They always place within the top 4. They once made it to Nationals and even placed in the top 8. Their team has been known to consist of only tall players. The shortest reported player ever on their team was a Libero standing at 173 cm. They are mostly known for their blocks, as every player (excluding the Libero) is over 180 cm tall. Each player excels in offense, defense, and technique. They boast one of the Bulldozers from Hatsudenjo Academy, Satori Ryosuuke. Their 2 most tallest players, Hitarashi Terou, standing at 197 cm, and Satori Ryosuuke, standing at 205 cm, both play wing spiker. This is due to the fact that wing spikers stay on the court at all times, and with this rule, Ikeda can always have super high blocks.

Despite regularly placing 3rd in Prefectural Tournaments, Ikeda was defeated by Jindai Kita in the Quarterfinals of the Spring Qualifiers. Afterwards, the 3rd years retired and Shibata Kinnojo, Subaru's younger brother, took the Captain position.
