Short middle-school student Hinata Shouyou falls suddenly in love with volleyball after watching the national championships on television. Despite his small stature (162 cm), he decides to follow in the footsteps of the player nicknamed the "Little Giant" - the star of those championships - after seeing him play. He starts a volleyball team at his school and trains on his own. Eventually, three other members join in Hinata's final year of middle school, and at his insistence, friends from other teams join as well, just so they can enter tournaments. But in their very first tournament match, they lose to the favored team, which includes Tobio Kageyama, the player nicknamed the "King of the Court." Left devastated and heartbroken by the defeat, Hinata vows one day that he will defeat Kageyama.
