BokuAka

BokuAka is the slash ship between Bokuto Kōtarō and Akaashi Keiji of Fukurōdani from the Haikyu!! fandom.

Canon
Bokuto Kōtarō is a third year at Fukurōdani while Akaashi Keiji is a second year. Both being in the volleyball club, Bokuto is the team captain with Akaashi as the vice captain and official setter. Despite not having a backstory (yet), it is canon that these two have a close friendship with each other. Their ship has the dynamic of one being loud, childish and flamboyant while the other reserved, witty, blunt and more mature.

Fanon
The roles between the typical one pining and the other one oblivious is very versatile in fan works. Although, it is most common in fics for them to be in college or post-graduation with jobs and Kuroo Testurō and Kozume Kenma as their closest friends. Often times, these four are shown to have a common past of playing volleyball together or against each other throughout high school and perhaps even being in the same team through the course of college. Past team members like those of Fukurōdani, Nekoma, Aoba Johsai, Karasuno and Shiratorizawa are peppered or integrated into their current lives as co-workers, friends, past partners and the like.

An attribute between them that is very distinct from other Haikyū ships is the event of Bokuto's emo mode (also known as his dejected mode). Akaashi is the only one fully capable of tending to Bokuto's moods- which is mentioned to be over 37 in total, all of which Akaashi has memorized. Additionally, it is also canon (according to an official Haikyū shop in Japan) that Bokuto has smaller hands than Akaashi.
