U-17 All Japan Players' Database (High Schoolers):
High Schooler 1st String
Byoudouin Houou
In his past, he wandered around the world in various other countries. That imposing and majestic personality of his, along with his mastery over the inter-dimensional power, are the marks of the supreme ruler.
Supplemental Info:
-His and Tokugawa's fates are connected.
-He gets along with Duke.
-He has wandered around the world playing tennis.

Favorite Color: Gold
Favorite Food: Green Tea
Thing he wants most: Shinai
Thing you're bad at: Nothing
Specialty outside of tennis: Nothing
Stats:
Speed - ?: At any rate, his leg strength is not up to standard. With that speed, it is unknown how he can keep up with the rest of the 1st string.
Power - ?: His muscle strength is perhaps not much more than average. However, the Glowing Shot's might is far exceeding even Duke's level.
Stamina - ?: Even if we were to assume there is room for growth in his stamina, when he was wandering the world going through special training and living the life of a hermit, he acquired a hardy and tough body.
Mental - ?: Having gone through special training up on top of the cliff, it seemed he acquired the inter-dimensional power and a spiritual nature. Already now, there are no weaknesses.
Technique - ?: Even though he was already night perfect by his 1st year in high school, it is expected that after the world campaign, he has obtained something even greater.
Kurobe Memo:
Can there really be a high schooler that is already at this high a level? There is nothing to criticize about his true abilities, but his manners are crude. We should teach him some more respectful manners so he doesn't embarrass the title of being an All Japan Representative.

Tanegashima Shuuji
He cannot help giving off an atmosphere of aloofness. When he sees a straight edged person, he can't help but to mess with them.
Supplemental Info:
-He's from an island in the south
-Since he hates airplanes he came to Tokyo by ship
-While out walking with Kimijima, He was scouted and has been a model for a magazine

Thing he wants most: Earplugs
Thing you're bad at: Airplanes
Specialty outside of tennis: Swimming
Stats:
Speed - 5: No matter what kind of ball, he is able to deal with it nimbly and return it. His kinetic vision was forged from rail shooting games.
Power - 5: The secret of his superior muscles lies in the bones. It seems the collagen he gets from consuming pigs feet bestows favorable results to strengthening his bones.
Stamina - 5: Because he is always trying to see through his opponent's abilities while in battle, he seldom gets his pace disturbed. He almost never has to worry about his stamina depleting in the middle of a match.
Mental - 7: Because he is the kind of person who does things just to amuse himself, he can change even a pinch into a chance. Because flexibility supports his foundation, whether it be enemy or ally, he has the acumen to see through and surpass them.
Technique - 6: With the skills to hit a can into the trashcan behind himself without even looking, he has a shining level of control.
Kurobe Memo:
He has natural incredible perception and a large field of vision which he uses to see through one's weaknesses. Because he's always riding his Segway around, he has become accustomed to seeing things that move at incredible speeds. However, his one flaw is that he is a very moody person. In real matches, he has a tendency to recklessly show off.

Duke Watanabe
Brimming with the shining presence of about 3 children. He follows around Byoudouin and calls him 'Boss'.
Supplemental Info:

-In order to maintain his hairstyle, he needs to buy a new comb every two months.

Thing he wants most: A new comb
Thing you're bad at: Rain
Specialty outside of tennis: Filleting Fish
Stats:
Speed - 5: He has a nimbleness you could not imagine him having from how he looks. He has the strongest leg strength of everyone in the 1st String.
Power - 7: With his boastful superhuman strength, he is the No.1 in terms of Power of the 1st String. In addition, he has a tough enough body that he could endure a 108th Level Hadoukyuu.
Stamina - 5: With his considerable power, the number of opponents who have to forfeit matches early is quite large. However, even though he rarely has to go through a full set, his stamina is plentiful.
Mental - 5: His never ending smile is the manifestation of someone who has a surplus of power. There has only ever been one instance in his entire time at the camp that I have seen Duke get angry.
Technique - 5: Using his racket angle and wrist snap, he can drive through a very accurate shot.
Kurobe Memo:
He has a far superior physique due to being half white. He is able to fire off huge shots with his perfected muscle strength and body balance that will strip away the morale of his opponents. Henceforth, I would like him to aim at polishing his speed and stamina even further.

Echizen Ryoga
Concerning himself, he has a silent and cool personality. He has the same surname as the middle school 1st Year Echizen, it seems they're related by blood or something.
Supplemental Info:
-Even though he was abroad, he is bad at English and hates to speak it. Even while in America, he did everything in his power to only speak Japanese.

Thing he wants most: Racket
Thing you're bad at: Rain
Specialty outside of tennis: Breakdancing
Stats - No Data:
Speed - ?: He's quick enough to instantaneously see through 10 shots hit at him simultaneously and avoid them. However, I believe we've yet to even see half of his true abilities.
Power - ?: Despite his appearance, he can certainly fire off some heavy shots. His physical strength should be considerably high.
Stamina - ?: With his slender and tall build, he seems to have very little to no body fat. His entire body seems to be flexible and springy muscles. His entire body seems almost completely like that of a professional athlete. There is high expectation for him in a real match.
Mental - ?: He has the facial expression of one who is constantly overflowing with self confidence. His mental strength doesn't seem to waver at all from anything. This is possibly from his extended period living abroad.
Technique - ?: Comparable with Byoudouin, it looks like he is endowed with considerable skill. However, his true abilities are currently immeasurable.
Kurobe Memo:
This player that Byoudouin brought back with him has many mysterious qualities. Because he is a player that Byoudouin recognizes, it is of no question that he has massive potential behind him.

Kaji Kazena
He has fair skin and is a slimming man, but is a stubborn person with a dirty mouth. After his match with Oni, he was sent to the Medical Center and is now essentially retired.

Favorite Color: Wheat Color
Favorite Food: Marshmallows
Thing he wants most: Hair Wax
Thing you're bad at: Noise
Specialty outside of tennis: Divination
Stats:
Speed - 7: He has absolute faith in his speed, but when faced with the presence of Oni, he had no ability to answer him because he could not see through to his real level.
Power - 5: His power is average. While away on the expedition, it seems his power rose considerably, however in his match with Oni, it was completely useless.
Stamina - 5: Before the expedition, stamina was an insufficiency he was tasked to work on. However, after he returned home, it seemed he has conquered this problem. However, his body fat percentage seems to have increased some. It would seem while he was abroad, he destroyed his body balance through poor eating habits.
Mental - 4: He has keen perception, but on the other hand, his weakness is that his power of concentration drops when faced against an opponent he isn't suited for.
Technique - 5: He has a vast array of skills in his repertoire. While on the expedition, it seems like he worked out a new technique too. However, he was defeated before ever being able to show it.
Kurobe Memo: It seems that while he was abroad he strengthened his physical body quite a bit. He is able to freely use his skillful technique to advance onward in the matches. However, just before this, he decided that to get stronger, he needed to fortify his mental strength and get rid of his fickle personality.

Ohmagari Ryuuji
He has a bold way of thinking. However, if you dare to tread upon his concrete morals within himself, you will see his indignation.
Supplemental Info:
-He likes spicy foods
-He is unexpectedly polite. If you don't return a book to it's proper place, he'll get mad and such because he's fussy about manners. He's the kind of guy who will always give up his seat to the elderly.

Blood Type: Type A
Hobbies: Reading (Including Manga)
Family Members: Father - Mother - Little Brother
Committee: Physical Education Committee
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Food: Tan Tan Men - Taiyaki
(TN: Tan Tan Men is the Japanese way of saying a Dan Dan Mian. Which is a Szechuan noodle dish that is covered with a sauce that comprises of sesame paste and chili oil. Taiyaki is a type of sweet red bean stuffed pastry usually in the shape of a fish.)
Thing he wants most: Headband
Thing you're bad at: People who take something from somewhere and don't put it back where it is supposed to go.
Specialty outside of tennis: Speed Reading
Stats:
Speed - 5: From the net, the movements of Nitouryuu are completely those of a sword dance. The secret behind such elegant movements is in the martial arts based footwork.
Power - 5: The power he puts on the ball is medium, but the arm strength with which he handles his racket is considerable. He is able to handle doing pull-ups at Coach Tsuge's instruction all day long.
Stamina - 7: He boasts being the No. 1 in stamina amongst all of the 1st String. Because he competes in various things like triathlons, he is very boastful of the limits his stamina can be pushed to.
Mental - 3: Because he has such absolute confidence in himself, he tends to accept challenges and proposals from his opponents readily. As he really looks down on lower ranked opponents, his weakness is that he sometimes overestimates his own abilities.
Technique - 6: Being able to manipulate 2 rackets at the same time is no easy task. Nitouryuu is his own personal surefire way to win. It's impossible for anyone to imitate it.
Kurobe Memo:
His drastic move called Nitouryuu requires precise racket manipulation and exquisite control. Combined with his tenacious stamina, it's quite the serviceable technique. He had come up with this style on his own while in the camp. His persistence and fighting spirit that he used to crawl up the rankings to the 1st String is quite admirable.

Thing he wants most: Everyone's love
Thing you're bad at: Slithering things - People who are too blunt
Specialty outside of tennis: Skin care
Stats:
Speed - 5: It's astonishing how fast his negotiation speed is. However, the slowness of his service speed is just one of his issues. (TN: "Service speed" is written in English.)
Power - 4: He has a strong and reassuring ability to break into a negotiation. However, with his body type, he is lacking overall in muscle strength.
Stamina - 4: He has an established reputation for being very persistent in negotiating in a match. However, even in the best situation, he lacks stamina for a whole set. We hope he will train this henceforth.
Mental - 7: He has the mental fortitude to never give up any kind of negotiation. He understands better than anyone that tennis is a mental sport.
Technique - 5: Backroom deals, internal discord, favorable conditions... his specialty negotiation technique would make even adults feel embarrassed.
Kurobe Memo:
Sipping victory after selling out his comrade. His play style isn't fair, but it can be said that it is the hand necessary for his continued survival of the U-17 in the world. In addition to his outstanding natural negotiation powers, it seems like if he was to extend his universal sphere of influence, he would have no enemies far and wide.

Stats:
Speed - 5: Even though he carries an old injury on his left knee, his leg strength is nothing to laugh at. For the sake of his career as an athlete, he needs quick and early treatment.
Power - 5: For the purpose of improving the accuracy of his "executions", he has trained his upper body. Though his lower half needs attention.
Stamina - 4: When he gets too stirred up, he increasingly begins to make wasted movements and deplete his own endurance. Though he hates running, Coach Tsuge had been trying to persuade him to train more in that area.

Technique - 7: He excels in applying his creativity and skill to modelling techniques after historical execution methods.
Kurobe Memo:
The opponents he faces often do not get away unscathed. Even his voice is contrary to sportsman like conduct. However, I do not know any man who has shown more tenacity and pride in his own tennis up till now.

Specialty outside of tennis: Taking walks
Stats:
Speed - 6: With his great height, he has an exceptionally long stride. He can use his efficient footwork to instantly move under the ball.
Power - 4: The weapon that is his height makes the power of his smashes and serves terrifying. However he still needs to build up his only moderate muscle strength.
Stamina - 4: In terms of stamina, he falls a bit behind the rest of the 1st String. His weakness is that in the latter half of a match his movements become tired and slow. He urgently needs to strengthen his stamina.
Mental - 7: He is called the Mental Assassin. With just one glare he can amplify the pressure on the opponent.
Technique - 4: He has an incredibly high speed serve and can hit the ball very cleanly. He has high skill.
Kurobe Memo:
He has a 1 hit sure kill serve. He has just high enough abilities to be a singles player. However, in the match against Atobe and Niou, he showed just how strong his unshakeable will power was. With one glare, not even an animal will come near him. He seems a bit lonesome as a result.

Mouri Jusaburou
The master of doubles who conceals his true strength under his aloof personality. Thanks to Ochi's influence, his habit of skipping practice has decreased.
Supplemental Info:
-He was actually attending Shitenhouji before deciding to transfer to Rikkai.

Thing you're bad at: Hot things (TN: He's a cat tongue.)
Specialty outside of tennis: Pro Wrestling Holds
Stats:
Speed - 5: His left and right footwork at the net is more than acceptable. His front to back movements, however, do have a few issues to be fixed.
Power - 4: He is too lacking in power to actively play in singles. If he focused on training his arm strength and grip strength, the power of his stroke would get much stronger.
Stamina - 4: He has the endurance to last for a 3 set match, however he gets so absorbed in the match that he doesn't pace himself. In addition, he says he hates progressing too slowly.
Mental - 6: He's the type of person that will get fired up when faced with adversity. Enough that he is more than able to deal with the pain of dislocating his joints in a match. He's also the type to manifest his full potential when battling strong opponents.
Technique - 5: He doesn't have any particularly bad shot courses. He's a jack of all trades, master of none. It is urgent for him to develop some deciding shots.
Kurobe Memo:
In the match against Atobe and Niou he was very boastful about being part of the 1st String. Though he's only a 1st Year High Schooler, he's one of the players I look forward to see improving. I wonder if his tenacity to win is due to Rikkai's [Invincible Training]. He may have learned his desire to win from the time spent with the various different players he has been paired with.

Specialty outside of tennis: Ethnic Cooking
Stats:
Speed - 5: His five senses far surpass normal levels. His reflexes are great. His reaction speed is something to be amazed with.
Power - 3: His action on the ball isn't all that great. He relies too much on his senses in his play. His muscle training is planned to be doubled.
Stamina - 4: He has the stamina to easily last 1 or 2 matches, but if the match develops to a point where he is on even footing with his opponent, he needs to be particularly wary.
Mental - 6: If he views you as a lower rank, he'll place a handicap on himself. As such, he generally overestimates his own abilities. However, should he get to be at a disadvantage, he is able to respond appropriately.
Technique - 5: He's able to play without the aid of his eyesight. As such, he certainly has been endowed with quite the high level skill.
Kurobe Memo:
He went into the match against Yukimura too overconfident and therefore had the carpet pulled form underneath him. He completely misread his opponent's abilities. However, since his "Kyouzou" ability is definitely worthy of special mention, I hope that he retrains himself and shows the pride of the 1st String by bouncing back.

Stats
Speed – 4: Since he is the type to concentrate on raising his power, his speed is only average. Maybe some sprinting exercises are in order?
Power – 6: Both Danji no Haru and Danji no Natsu display his amazing strength.
Stamina – 5: Despite playing matches right after returning from overseas, he had no trouble showing his strength. He gets more competitive when fired up, yet he doesn't waste energy unnecessarily. Overall, he is very stable.
Mental – 5: He does not get discouraged even when he's at a disadvantage and is able to calmly assess the situation. Possessing a righteous personality, he looks down on opponents that rely on tricks.
Technique – 3: He has strengthened his accuracy through basic drills, however he still lacks decisiveness in this area.
Kurobe's Memo:
With his ability to end matches in one strike, the strength of his and Ban's power doubles combination cannot be denied. Him giving up his badge despite not actually losing the match shows his great integrity. I have heard that many members of the second string see a brother in him.

Stats
Speed – 3: His reflexes, explosiveness etc. are all on the lower end. He needs intense training in these areas.
Power – 6: Boasting an "iron" upper body, there are no problems with his power. If any issues arise it will probably be best to concentrate on strengthening his lower body.
Stamina – 5: With his durability, he can overcome his opponents in drawn-out matches. However, since he is a bit of a slow starter, it should be noted that he has trouble if the opponent tries to end the match quickly.
Mental – 4: He easily loses his normally cool head when trumped in a power battle. If we managed to improve his mental state in those situations, he would become a lot more powerful.
Technique – 3: Because he depends too much on his power, he has some shortcomings on the technical side. Improving this area would open up a lot of strategic possibilities.
Kurobe's Memo:
He pays more attention to the opponent's power than their technical abilities. Because of his partner's creativity, he is able to play to his own strengths in doubles.

Stats
Speed – 4: Even though his dynamic vision isn't the best, his responses are quite fast. I would ascribe this to his wild instinct. We should consider examining this further.
Power – 6: Thanks to his wild playstyle, his shots pack quite the punch. However, some nasty habits have become apparent, so he should strengthen his basics.
Stamina – 4: Although he has a decent amount of stamina, he doesn't consider the flow of the match and is spent quickly as a result. He needs to learn to play at a slower pace.
Mental – 4: His mindset is quite strong and he can maintain an optimistic attitude in the face of adversity. However, since tension is his main motivation, his emotions can change easily which puts him at a disadvantage.
Technique – 4: His control when using "Vanish" seems passable, he needs to learn how to utilize the move better though.
Kurobe's Memo:
Since his morale increases when battling strong opponents, he is someone with a lot of potential. His energetic character is beneficial during matches, but he really injures himself far too often. According to reports, before the overseas expedition he visited the medical center the most out of all the first string members.

Speed – 4: Since he observes the entire court at all times and is able to quickly process the speed of the ball, he can cover open areas with leisurely steps. When playing doubles with Yuuho, he is responsible for covering the deuce side of the court.
Power – 3: His power is a weakness at the moment, but with his capabilities there should be room for improvement. The first step is to strengthen his basic training.
Stamina – 4: He always plays at the same pace and usually consumes stamina quickly. However, when playing with his brother any physical and psychological burden is decreased and as a result the impact on his overall durability doesn't seem to be significant.
Mental – 5: He is very stable in doubles. Because he and his brother can communicate without saying a word, emotional ups and downs are almost invisible.
Technique – 5: He is a fantastic doubles player with superior technique. Attacks from the deuce side.
Kurobe's Memo:
Even though he is a doubles specialist, he is also quite strong in singles. However, due to just how valuable he is in doubles, he doesn't get used in singles very often. Since he and his twin brother look identical it can cause confusion among others.
The former No. 15 of the first string. The combination play he and his twin brother display in doubles is unparalleled.
Supplemental Information
-Sometimes pretends to be his brother, but he can't deceive me.
-Since his brother is reliable, he feels like he can do things at his own pace.

Specialty outside of tennis: Basketball
Stats
Speed - 4: He is quick to respond on the ad side of the court. Since his speed in doubles is influenced by predetermined movement patterns, it is worse in singles.
Power - 3: There is room for development. He has only focused on strengthening his left shoulder, but in order to increase his power he needs a well-balanced body.
Stamina - 4: At the end of the doubles match against Suzuki his breathing was slightly unsteady. He and Yuuma can grasp each others fatigue and cover for each other as necessary.
Mental - 5: There are no problems with his mental thanks to the strong bond he has with his twin brother. If anything their bond might be a little too strong which can lead to them pulling each other down. He is able to objectively analyze the state of the match.
Technique - 5: He is a technical player with a big ego. I would like him to let go of his ego and achieve nirvana.
Kurobe's Memo:
The twins count on understanding their opponents to gain an advantage in matches. It will be interesting to see what impact their defeat through Niou's Illusion will have on them. Just like their words and actions in completely in sync, the brothers even take a bath and go to the bathroom at the same time - how is such a thing even possible?

Specialty outside of tennis: Stock Forecasting
Stats:
Speed - 4: His speed is average. With his keen observing eye, he can in multiple rallies deduce instantly his opponent's special characteristics.
Power - 3: His lack of power in a match is quite blatant. He has been tasked with building up his muscle strength. However, he is at least aware of his insufficient strength and helps to supplement it with his intelligence.
Stamina - 3: Because he doesn't waste any movements, he is able to preserve his stamina while in a match. Due to his over reliance on his brain, his glucose levels get absorbed in large quantities.
Mental - 6: Because he is always predicting his opponent's movements, he has an the potential for a vastly superior mental state. Because of that, it's difficult to disturb his mind.
Technique - 5: He has the technique to accurately aim for the shots he needs to, based on his calculated data.
Kurobe Memo:
His ability to observe his opponent as the match unfolds makes him part of the intellect based players. It's likely that his habit of putting more importance on the analysis rather than winning is hindering his growth. It would be worth it to put him together with Yanagi and Inui into a special intensive training on data analysis.

Thing he wants most: Comedy DVD
Thing you're bad at: Uninteresting People
Specialty outside of tennis: Manzai
Stats:
Speed – 4: He has a fast swing speed with good timing, which also enables him to hit his special shot, "Bakyuun".
Power – 4: He has strong arms, giving his strokes plenty of power. With a special training menu, he is currently aiming to make use of that power when serving as well.
Stamina – 3: He brazenly rarely changes his facial expression and as a result, his opponents can't tell when he gets tired. He doesn't have very flashy movements and has a pinpoint deciding shot.
Mental – 5: He has the guts to keep playing calmly even when bombing his boke. It seems it was this mental strength that made him a legend at Shitenhouji Chuu.
Technique – 4: He has even more varieties of boke than he does tennis techniques. Shouldn't he really add more techniques into his tennis arsenal!?
Kurobe Memo:
It seems to be effective, so he continues his tactics of barraging his opponents with boke routines in order to disturb their mental. He and Amane once had 100 continuous duels of boke vs. puns, however I deemed the results of that report to be unneeded.
Side Image Text 1: With his stone faced delivery of boke jokes, he toys with his opponents. He naturally makes the match go at his own pace.
Side Image Text 2: His special technique of sniping at his opponent's racket's sweet spot is an unorthodox shot that continuously pierced through the racket guts of both Momoshiro and Kenya.

Mental – 5: Always making extra time to keep on laughing, he is the powerful player who used to administer Shitenhouji Chuu in the same fashion. It can defintiely be said that he has a high mental fortitude.
Technique – 3: He favors his smash that he seems to put some of his tsukkomi into as he sends it to the opponent. Also, his drawing techniques are on a high level.
Kurobe Memo:
As a great technician, he has a lot of skills and a wide array of battle tactics. It seems he had a duel with Kurobane of "Attacking with Words Tsukkomi" vs. "Body Hitting Tsukkomi", however I felt knowing the results of that was pointless.

Specialty outside of tennis: Waking up early - Standing on his fingers while upside down
Stats:
Speed - 4.5: He has a high level of kinetic vision and as such, has a fast reaction speed to the ball. From now on, he needs further training to strengthen his legs.
Power - 4.5: If there was one part he had to work on, it would be his leg strength. If he wants to be able to use even higher level techniques, he needs to strengthen his griping power.
Stamina - 4.5: Compared to last year, his stamina has increased considerably. In addition to the normal camp training menu, every morning and evening he diligently does endurance training in his own free time. All that's left is learning to implement better pacing into his training.
Mental - 4.5: He has a strong force of will. However, after suffering a humiliating defeat from Byoudouin, if he was left with some cowering feelings from that, it could probably be fatal.

Kurobe Memo:
After suffering a major setback, to be able to easily hit 10 balls at once shows his rapid growth. The biggest question at hand right now is if he took severe damage when Byoudouin launched an attack at his abdomen.

Specialty outside of tennis: Making stuffed animals
Stats:
Speed - ?: There is nothing to criticize, but his movements for covering the left and right sides seem just a bit delayed. He may want to consider strengthening his explosiveness.
Power - ?: He's the kind of power player that trains by lifting boulders. However, the power of his Kijin that has been asleep for so long is immeasurable.
Stamina - ?: He possesses an inexhaustible supply of stamina that even allows him to have great power and speed in the match's end stage. This is the result of steady and honest training.
Mental - ?: He's the type to raise his mentality when driven into adversity. The advent of the Kijin is proof of having sharpened his concentration powers to their utmost limits.
Technique - ?: He doesn't just have power, but also excels in the technical side of the game. If he wants to improve more, it will be essential to refine his accuracy further.
Kurobe Memo:
In his match against Tooyama, he showed a lively and vivid play almost mimicking the the simple and naive boy he was playing against. He will from time to time make calls over to the children of Poka Poka Yokochou. There is no doubt that they are the source of his vitality.
He acts like the older brother of the camp. Because he wants to raise the level of all the courts, even though he's really a 1st Stringer, he kept himself on the 5th Court.
Supplemental Info:
-Because his family is full of women, he is naturally quite fond of dependent children.
-He probably likes children because of all the years he has spent away from his little sister.

Irie Kanata
Even though he comes across as gentle even to the middle schoolers, it's impossible to tell what his true intentions are. It's quite a sight to behold the dramatic productions he puts on during matches.
Supplemental Info:
-In order to study for his performances, he researches by watching theater DVDs everyday.
-Since he is quite skilled with the Sax, he has joined his school's wind instrument club.

Thing he wants most: Jazz Concert Tickets
Thing you're bad at: Sharp-witted people (because they can see right through him) - Fake Girls
Specialty outside of tennis: Holding 4 full plates at the same time - Tenor Sax
Stats:
Speed - 6: With his light and short patterned footwork, his speed is on par with even the 1st String. He is quite effective at destroying his opponent's pace.
Power - 1: His issue is with his physical side. Even though he is of slender build, he still should find a way to increase the efficiency of his muscles.
Stamina - 2: With his low stamina, he is unsuited for long, drawn out matches. However, taking into account that even when he forfeited the match against Atobe, it looked as if he still had stamina left to spare. Frankly, it's unfathomable.
Mental - 7: With his unmatchable mental strength, he relies on his acting skills to toy with his opponents. He can freely control his own emotions at will.
Technique - 6: Once he sees his opponent's reactions, he has the high level skill of instantly changing the balls trajectory and shot type.
Kurobe Memo:
He is fascinated with developing a match by setting up scenes and performances. However, with his current balance, it limits the kinds of opponents he can win against. He really needs to build up his physical side.

Thing you're bad at: Seiza
Specialty outside of tennis: Humourous Poems (Senryuu)
Stats:
Speed - 2: His reaction time and explosive powers are somewhat on the lower end, but he makes up for it by outsmarting his opponent and using his superior battle tactics to assist his low speed
Power - 2: Due to the accident he had in the past, his power is weak. He will need to go through more strength conditioning to defend against his old injury from flaring up.
Stamina - 2: He isn't fit for long periods of play. However, to prevent himself from tiring, he works to waste his opponent's stamina by becoming 'bratty' and hastening the progress of the match to his own favor.
Mental - 2: He possesses a wide field of vision. However, his weakness is that he looks at his own power too objectively and so when he has to face an opponent of higher rank, his tenacity wanes during the bout.
Technique - 2: A special shot where just before you strike the ball, you change its trajectory at the last minute. It has a high degree of difficulty.
Kurobe Memo: After the 5th Court Shuffle Match, It seemed like Yamato was going to retire. Even though his calm discerning insight showed him that his body was nearing his limit, due to the forethought shown to his juniors and the fact that he seems like a coach already even though he's only a high schooler, he was recommended to attend the Leadership Program (in the camp).

Konomi Interview
Q1: When Byoudouin was a high school 1st Year, he had shorter hair. Could you please tell us why he now has long hair and a beard!?
A1: When he lost to Oni and had to join the Secret Camp, he was selected to go on the sake capture mission. When that happened, he got into a fight with the bats and dropped his shaver in the river. After that, his beard has been growing furiously. (Laughs)
Q2: How did Byoudouin you come up with the names of his special techniques?
A2: When he was in middle school, he focused on the whole world and made sure to travel from place to place, training. Because of that, he uses the names of various techniques in other languages!
Q3: Is the segway that Tanegashima rides around in actually his?
A3: No, it’s actually Kurobe’s.
Q4: Duke is only half Japanese right?
A4: He is only half! It’d be weird for him not to be right? (Laughs)
Q5: Did you base Duke on any other existing characters?
A5: Duke’s character design is based on Quinton Jackson from [The A Team –the movie-]. However, the picture I first drew ended up looking a lot like an editor I knew back in those days named Watanabe. (Laughs)
(TN Note: Konomi actually called Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, who played B.A. Baracus in the A Team remake back in 2010 as Clayton Jackson in his answer. I revised the translation to have the correct name.)
Q6: What kind of haircut does Duke have to ask the hair dresser for when he goes to a salon?
A6: He just asks “Please give me something sexy!”
Q7: Ryoga is a man full of mysteries. Can you please tell us one of his secrets!?
A7: Jet-skiing is one of his specialties, maybe?
(TN: For those of you who don’t understand the answer… it’s a reference back to the Prince of Tennis Movie that introduced Ryoga originally, where he rides off in a Jet Ski.)
Q8: How did Oni start to make knitted stuffed animals?
A8: The director of Boka Boka Yokochou taught him how to do it.
Q9: Who is the High Schooler that Oni gets along best with?
A9: It’s Nakagauchi Sotomichi. However, he is also Oni’s rival. (Laughs)
Q10: What dialect is Ohmagari speaking?
A10: It’s not a dialect. It’s simply his mannerisms.
Q11: Why did Kimijima become a high school CM star?
A11: From when he was a child, he’s been involved in media production. He’s even flourished in dramatic acting roles.
Q12: What is the flavor of the [Colavita] that Kimijima was promoting?
A12: It’s a refreshing citrus – brilliance of youth – flavor.
Q13: How did Tohno come up with his sure kill technique [Execution]?
A13: While in a family restaurant, he struck up a conversation with the staff about how there aren’t any cruel executions anymore. He said “Like if someone were to step on your feet, wouldn’t it be nice to tear them limb from limb!” The old lady sitting near him was quite astonished by his words. (Strained laughter)
Q14: Was the reason that Tohno used the expression “yippee kay yay” because he was a fan of cowboys? ……Or was it because he was a fan of the [Die Hard] franchise?
A14: He’s a fan of cowboys.
Q15: Tohno’s name “Atsukyou” is quite a rare name. Could you please tell us how you came up with it?
A15: There is a female pro golfer named Nomura Harukyou-san. I based it off that.
Q16: From when Ochi was there and after Atobe entered the school, has anything changed about the Hyoutei Tennis Club?
A16: Hmmm, the brilliance/radiance of it… maybe?
Q17: Ochi takes meticulous care of maintaining his tennis racket, does that mean he’s the OCD type?
A17: When I drew Ochi, I imagined him as a warrior.
Q18: Mouri and Ochi make a great doubles pair, but have they been playing doubles for very long?
A18: During the camp, the coaches just decided to pair them up on their own. (Laughs)
Q19: While Mouri was enrolled at Rikkai, what did he think of the Big 3?
A19: He so seldom made an appearance at the club that he never really had an interest in the Big 3.
Q20: Mouri’s speech definitely has some sort of accent to it. Where is he originally from?
A20: His accent is Banshuu-ben from the Hyogo prefecture.
Q21: Even though Kaji got defeated by Oni, could you please tell us what kind of play style he has?
A21: I can’t, that’s still a secret.
(TN: Did you send in this question, Kaoz? XD)
Q22: Please tell us what the secret technique Fuwa has for his play style is!
A22: Fuwa? He can fall asleep anytime, anywhere!
Q23: When Fuwa faced Yukimura he put on a blindfold. Wasn’t that handicap a bit much for the match?
A23: Because his opponent was only a middle schooler, he had just planned on messing around. That’s why he thought he would impose a challenge on himself and estimated there would be plenty of room for him to win.
Q24: For Date’s techniques, “Danji no Haru” blew away 1 person and “Danji no Natsu” blew away 2 people. So about how strong are “Aki” and “Fuyu”?
(TN: Haru is Spring, Natsu is Summer, Aki is Fall, and Fuyu is Winter.)
A24: Hmmm, I think they can probably blow away about 3 to 5 people?
Q25: How did Date get that cross shaped scar on his head?
A25: Byoudouin and Oni caused those scars. The larger of the two was caused by Byoudouin.
Q26: Mitsuya is called [Akuto-niisan] by Yanagi and has also taught him [Data Tennis]. Could you please tell us their relationship?
A26: He was just the ‘older brother’ in the neighborhood. Surely, this was back when he lived in the countryside.
Q27: When they asked “Has Shiraishi started to say funny things yet?”, did that mean back in the old days he never said funny things?
A27: That’s right. It was a long story, so I didn't really come up with a punch line...
Q28: Do Taira and Hara get along with the other Shitenhouji members at the camp?
A28: When they’re free they get along with them just fine.
Q29: Why did Irie cultivate that kind of play style?
A29: Because just like a spoiled rich kid who tells lies to his parents, he craves attention.
Q30: There seems to be a difference between Irie’s front and reverse faces. Which one of these represents his true personality?
(TN: The front and reverse here are like the two sides of a coin. The question is in reference to his acting face and his troll face.)
A30: No one knows what his real personality is like. Everything is a mystery about him.
Q31: Tokugawa has been living abroad from about the time he was 5. In that time, did he ever hear about Ryoma in America or maybe even Atobe in England?
A31: He wasn't especially aware of either of them, I think.
A1: When he lost to Oni and had to join the Secret Camp, he was selected to go on the sake capture mission. When that happened, he got into a fight with the bats and dropped his shaver in the river. After that, his beard has been growing furiously. (Laughs)
