"I am built upon the small things I do every day, the end results are not more than a byproduct of that" - Shinsuke Kita, this is one of my absolute favorite

[@schris3]

A life changing quote from Kita is about getting nervous before a game, and he basically says that guys feel nervous because in their hearts they want to do beyond their current capabilities and that's just ridiculous. For me is okay to want more, but do all the worrying and wanting afterwards.

[@M.Estelle]

Yes!! He says the only reason people need to get nervous is if they are trying to do better then their current capabilities. I always remind myself of this before comps in my sport. If you can do it in practice you can do it in competition

[@lolicon.8711]

Kita being a farmer post time-skip, is so iconic. He is undoubtedly the most matured character out there.

haikyuu really has such well written characters and storyline like it feels so much more than just a sports anime , it deserves all the popularity it has

[@famishedmonster]

Haikyuu feels like a holy book for life lessons. Never have i found a man-made story with THIS amount of rereading value. The more you re-read haikyuu, the better it gets, and the better person you become. 😩💖

I don't think I've ever seen anything that makes me cry as readily as Kita receiving his jersey. And, I have no idea why. Masterful character.

[@sanilpandhare]

YES

[@the_cruiserrrr]

We love Kita. I remember constantly rewinding his backstory because you could never get enough of him and His quiet confidence. One of the best parts of haikyuu is how you subtly root for the other teams as well because of how nuanced the characters are

[@bluecat344]

As someone always obsessed with the results, this video really changed my perspective of the work I do everyday. For example guys: if you choose to study or exercise everyday, the results are just the side effects. What's more important is that your actions are showing your discipline and perseverance.

[@marikothecheetah9342]

Yup. Just show up.

"If you've practiced enough, you likely ARE enough" bruh tears literally erupted. I've been studying this whole year for an exam whilst trying to balance it with working. Now, I've done many an exam before but I'm still sooo nervous for this one coz it's a big one that's important for my future. That line really hit me and I'm defo gonna use it as a mantra for when I go in for it!

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Glad it helped!

[@lancelaurel3828]

Hell yeah u got it bruh

[@skyefox]

Kita's weapon is his unwavering, exceptional competence. It's something that takes a long time to build up to, but is the fundamental building blocks of his character. It's what makes him so admirable, despite not having the crazy abilities of the Miwas or Kageyama, or Ushiwaka's physical advantages.

[@luckymankwok]

I think Kita is the embodiment of what the entire Haikyuu is trying to convey, that volleyball is not just what's happening on field, but every little detail that put into wotk off field, the little things that summed up; especially for Hinata's later arc (spoilers so not going into details)

[@Kage_Kotei]

The best leader is a hero. My favorite hero is an everyman, someone humble, modest, unremarkable on the surface. The only reason this pedestrian is at all notable is due to their strong will and work ethic. Despite their new-found talent and reputation they don't lose themselves. They are the definition of progressive growth, "little by little". To me this is the pure essence of Shonen... Now, whether or not Shonen lives up to this ideal is a whole other can of worms. At the very least it is the ideal most Shonen approach, and the ideal Shinsuke Kita has achieved.

[@sockthief9138]

I love people who genuinely and even excessively understands their limitations and still chooses to go above and beyond, not for himself but for those who he cares about. There’s something in it that makes me have hope in humans and of human will. I can’t put it into words, but if I had a chance to relive my life, I would like to be that person.

[@Kage_Kotei]

@@sockthief9138 For as long as we are alive we can still be that person. It's interesting how some people figure out their lives in their mid 40s. It seems like they wasted their youth and well they kinda did. But to make that change they couldn't dwell on it. Since they could never go back looking forward was the only way out. Same goes for us.

[@Deliriumend]

Kita's lessons are so important. And I think about similar everytime someone responds to an artist online with "I wish I could draw like that! You're so talented!" and they mean it as praise but it reads as so dismissive. Like, that person probably does have talent. But they've also probably been drawing for thousands of hours, over years of their life. One of the best things that ever happened for my mentality was the day I realized that I didn't want to "learn to draw" I wanted to "know how to draw." My brain wasn't interested in doing the work. Therefore it wasn't a path I could take because I wasn't willing to put in that work. And so whenever I think about it, or see a nice drawing that makes me wish I could do the same, I ask myself the same question "Do you want to learn to do that? Or is this just thinking it'd be nice to have already done that work?" Also important for everything else in life to. Do you want to learn to do that thing? Or do you just wish it was something you'd already done? It can sound depressing at first denying those things. But it also helps find the things where you brain goes "Yeah, I don't care if we suck at this. I want to do it and do it again until I can do something like this!"

[@Alex-ns6hj]

This video came to me and hit me like a truck. I’ve been pretty anxious lately because I’ve wanted to do so much academically as I have started taking this route seriously. I realize now that a lot of the things I was looking at wanting to do a lot of the times I just wished that I already have done the work so I could move on to the next thing and essentially was in a perpetual cycle of anxiety because I wasn’t performing to my expectations. Something that I must learn is gratitude and focusing on the process, and every single day at a time. this will yield results over time on its own. You’ve verbalized what I have been thinking and wrestling with for so long!

[@marikothecheetah9342]

I always say: you can be predisposed to do something but this only helps with basics. After that - you are stuck with hard work like everybody else.

7:15: "I am built upon the small things I do every day, and the end results are nothing more than a byproduct of that." POWERFULL.

[@Kattymint]

I loved Kita the moment they introduced him! Reminds me a lot of a quote from Bojack Horseman “It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day -that’s the hard part. But it does get easier.” We’re always so hard on ourselves, and expect perfection from the get go. Everything takes time, we just need to be patient and consistent. Small progress is still progress.

[@aurora-jp4ck]

Kita really seems to embody inner peace and actual, fully realized self love. He is himself -content and confidently so. Really impressive writing and wonderful perspective. Just being secure in yourself can change so much about your own self perception and how it translates to your life as a whole

[@icaimas719]

I´m of the same opinion as you on Kita´s job post graduation. When I saw the pages/panels, I was like: "Yeah, that´s Kita Shinsuke." It encapsulates everything he stands for. The daily actions and efforts he put into his work, with his yield as the product of this. And that Miya Osamu specifically buys from Kita later on just warms my heart! XD Kita is my favorite Inarizaki player. The way he faces the ordinary, daily life with such earnesty, the way he is so extraordinarily stable and reliable. The care he puts into everything and everyone around him is admirable.

[@christiankevin9743]

I don't want to say this changed my life after only a few days of watching it, but the 2 weeks after watching this video was the best weeks of my life. I really resonate with Kita's philosophy. He's now my role model. When doing everything, I always think something in the line of "What would Kita do?". Enjoy the process, the daily routine, do things right even the small things, and have confidence in yourself because you did enough. Thank you for this video

[@LessonsFromAnime]

I love hearing comments from people who have really implemented what I've said, glad it's working out!

[@RandomVex]

I find kita's storyline a bit confusing but the philosophy of greatness being an acumulation of things you do daily, thus greatness is a habit; that's really true and something I try to live by

Almost my whole life I felt like I am missing something ,I didnt like what I was doing ,I didnt like who I was ,I didnt like how I looked ,but then I came across many quotes from many great people that opened my eyes ,I thought that I had to look for something that will change my life ,but all along it was already there I just wasnt paying attention and its so easy in this modern life full of distractions, but finding your own happiness within yourself from all small stuff you do everyday ,the sunny day , the fresh smell of grass in the morning , little efforts you put in everyday. And its exactly quotes like Kitas that makes you realise that world is already beautifull place you just need to look the right way on it.

[@marikothecheetah9342]

Yes, yes, yes! Kageyama is called genius, but he works his arse off every step of the way. He never assumes that he will be always better than anyone else, he swallows his pride and asks Oikawa for advice JUST to be better. Not many people, even grown-ups, would do that. Kageyama is my fav character for this reason - he works hard and hates wasted potential ("What have you been doing for those three years?!") , and him, not being understood for that - that hit too close to home. Kita is my second fav for reasons you highlighted in this video. He steadily builds his strength and leadership. He is that one stable thing in Inarizaki's crazy team - and he does it great.

[@esparda07]

If a lot more people were like Kita, the world would be a better place. Kita has perfected the Zen mindset.

[@ying1296]

I don’t even watch haikyuu but I love this character so much. This kind of people in general is so so rare in fiction because they’re usually brushed off as a super small character because they’re just “not as interesting”, and it’s even more rare in reality. But in truth, they’re so precious

[@calebwenger7924]

I wish Haikyuu was released when I was in highschool. That's when I needed it the most.

[@NamiseSports]

Kita moved me a lot when I first saw him. I have played tennis all my life but I have never considered myself an outstanding player. I didn’t have a lot of raw talent, but I was blessed with a perfect height, a good mentality and the willing to put the hours in. Even though I don’t have a lot of achievements in the sport, I have some of which I’m really proud of. Now I’m playing again and for the first time in my life I’m playing as a young adult, with no pressure and enjoying it with friends. I know I will never achieve pro level, but that doesn’t stop me to being able to enjoy playing every day that I can, improving my daily habits, and being just a little bit better than I was yesterday. I’m playing with the hope of being better than when I was younger and played 4+ hours a day. With the right mentality, I might achieve it one day. One day at the time

when you mentioned that it was "common sense" to do what kita says or "its not that groundbreaking" i feel like many people in the world right now don't do what kita does to its fullest extent, for example cleaning. most people (including me) neglect it because it's "irrelevant" but it doesn't matter. its some small thing you do daily that's going to show some or the other result later on and i think that is beautiful. it doesn't matter when what or in what form the result show up in, but its about the feeling of completion we get by completing such tasks. i'm gonna replay these videos once in a while to remind myself. truly an amazing mindset

Thanks to him I got extremely close as every single day I chose not to skip any of the little things because in the end "I am built upon the small things I do everyday, and the end results are no more than a byproduct of that".

[@anglade1]

i have a quite similar reason to why one of my favorite sports anime characters is sendoh from slam dunk. although ion know much about basketball, watching him really makes it obvious of his dedication, skills and expertise towards his own sport (such like oikawa). but a very interesting thing about him is that he knows when to compromise winning. he is aware of how good the other players within his radius were, and just, played with great sportsmanship, nothing more nothing less. and another favorite scene that truly made him one of the most well written character in sports anime IMO was that one time he sat by the beach, quietly fishing. he gives himself enough freedom to breathe life, despite having every potential to become a star player. and even after his fame and whatnot, despite the fact that even rukawa looked up on his skills, he remained simple, a word inherently close to being humble, just like kita. and it makes the viewers feel the same and want to contain themselves with the same peace in life. no sport is ever as important as breathing life, accepting things as they are, no principle is bigger than just wanting to breathe life bcs life is so short and unpredictable to waste on getting frustrated from fame and things that are obviously not gonna last.

Throughout the almost half a decade of watching anime, very few characters resonated so deeply with me as Shinsuke did. It was the brilliance of simplicity and his pure intentions behind every action that made him so relatable. You've highlighted that aspect of his character beautifully. There is always something to learn from contemplation and declustering our thoughts and actions. Everyone can implement that in their lives in some form or another. Great vid!

[@dalitsobanda7658]

Congrats on 50K subs and here is to many more. Kita's advice is so good and simple that it is hard. I am someone who struggles with consistency. I tend to move like waves on a windy day. The weather will dictate the waves and it isn't always the best thing but it works sometimes. For years I have been trying to get into a set routine but think that is the wrong mindset. I am now trying to plan fixed actions that leave space for the waves. Steven Hollet and Chris Willamson were talking about how to avoid procrastination. In that conversation, they mentioned balancing the desire to do something, the cost, and the sacrifice. If you are like me doing what Kita does seems impossible but it isn't if don't box yourself in. Find the balance of a goal to move you forward and fear(motivation) to run away from. If you don't change what is the worst thing that will most likely happen and if you do change what is the thing you wish to happen. I hope you find your answers and grow.

[@user-bf6dh6gf6p]

[@hish33p32]

Wow I'd never expect my comment to be shown in one of your videos, the level of respect and relatability I have for you just skyrocketed, especially since I too thought that for every self improvement philosophy I'm very sure Kita's mindset of how "You are the sum of your daily habits" is the foundation for every other principle, since it's also based on the book Atomic Habits, "You don't rise to the levels of your goals, you fall to the levels of your systems". Much Love, this is also the culmination of everything you've covered, since if you watch this and another Barou video afterward, it would seem to contradict each other, but as you said, "What works for you, works for you", and the way that Kita who was both smart and disciplined ended up a farmer is just perfect writing. Hope we meet someday as high value men, much love.

[@ingridyau3012]

In this fast paced modern society, we feel the pressure to move quickly. Just like Kita feeling peer pressure in the elite team Inarizaki. If he compares his ability with star players, he will be anxious and unconfident. However, he knows his worth. He knows he is detail minded, caring and disciplined. He knows what it takes to be a leader, the pillar of the team on court and off court. He doesn't have to be the best player on the team. He doesn't have to concern where will excellence lead him like Tsukishima worried about. He doesn't view volleyball as a life goal like other elite players. He doesn't even care about winning or losing. The simplest way of living is to realize your unique edge. The realization may come really late and takes luck to be discovered. Like how Kita did not get to play on court, remained unrecognized, until the coach of Inarizaki saw his unique talent. Not all of us are lucky to be appreciated by a wise man who sees potential outside of conventional standards (compare Inarizaki coach with Washijo). But as we gain more life experience, with thoughtfulness and discipline, we will soon see how much we've grown and realize our unique edge in this world. There's no need to fit a person into one set of standards. There's no need to always be on the front lines. Keep moving, keep growing, at your own pace, in your own terms.

These days I struggle with time management and to be disciplined and he just reminds me of everything I promised myself. lol m 17 now and goddamn how was this man so darn perfect!?

im loving all your haikyuu videos, and would love eventually one about nishinoya, his way of thinking about things and fear really stuck with me

[@LessonsFromAnime]

He'll get one eventually dw, I do kinda have one on him (the collab)

[@Ahoushi1230]

I always go back to this video whenever I feel overwhelmed. This helps me slow down a focus on the important things.

The best job interviews are the ones where it turns into a casual conversation. At that point, you're no longer trying to be anything more than you are. You're simply doing something you've been doing every day for most of your life.

[@nauvir2046]

You're epic man. Just wanted to thank you for all your effort and care you put in each video. Kita would be proud "Well? Isn't my youtuber amazing?". Enjoy your day, sir. You're doing great 😄

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Haha cheers man!

KITA HAS BEEN ON MY MIND TOO FOR WEEKS AFTER WATCHING IT

[@mindbodyps]

I remember he said - Why are u nervous, you are going to do what you were doing every single day, its just different platforms, so just do what you choose to do

I love this video I come back to it all the time. It really helps me get through life :) I've watched all the anime for HAIKYUU but I've recently started reading the manga from the beginning and have loved it

[@LessonsFromAnime]

I'm so glad!

[@botumpidor]

This is one of the best videos I have seen. I finished the manga series a long time ago and totally forgot about Kita. But, now I remember why I used to love this guy so much back then. Thank you for this amazing video :))

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Wow, thank you!

[@melblack]

this is one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin, thank you! :) I absolutely agree, the beauty lies in the simple, small things we do on the daily. We just need to pay attention to them and stop worrying about all the big things.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Wow, thank you!

[@dambiyacheonsa5936]

I'm working on homework and using your videos as background noise. They are just making me remember how excited I was for this anime and appreciating it even more from your insight and pointing out things, I didn't fully catch or grasp when I watched the anime before.

[@Haimi_Jij]

when i got this video on recommendation, i thought it would be a simple video, which i will watch and move to another one. it was a simple video, but it did much more than that for me. As you spoke of him and his principle, i started crying, everything resonated too close to my heart. thank you so much for this video. I am happy i found you randomly during the most difficult time of my life.

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Glad I could help so much:)

[@Crazy_OWANDA]

Amazing video! you know I once read this short story somewhere in which everybody had a super power, and this one guy who ended up being the no.1 hero had no special power but because he put out kindness in the world. Everyday he would help someone, through just a small action and in the end he would see the result of his small actions, everybody held him to some sort of respect. Ik its not the same philosophy but its kinda an example of this philosophy. BTW amazed how u somehow get these insane life lessons from anime and decide to share it with the world, truly insane.

[@ankanbaidya4345]

Really. His ideology struck me when I was watching the show. I was a person who did his everyday duties at the last point of time and was really trying so hard to do every work in time. And now I am doing it better than before.. It feels really great.

[@mani3001]

I think out of all the life philosophies in Haikyuu, I like Kita’s the most Great video!

[@LessonsFromAnime]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lejocarry]

[@jannatulferdaus824]
