Info Official Fanbook Volume 10.5

[-Ken-]

I'm a little sad that Sai probably drop the translation on these. The mysterious 1st stringer info isn't complete yet. But oh well, it's internet, so it can't be help.

 

[Kaoz]

Well, he has other things to do in his life as well and it's not like he was getting paid for doing these.

 

[-Ken-]

Hence the "it's internet" line.

 

[Hardy]

Well, he has other things to do in his life as well and it's not like he was getting paid for doing these.

Uhm, silly question, talking with no knowledge about translating at all. I know it takes a while to write all this stuff and that he doesnt get payed, but what if he did oral translations (like... just reading the texts but in English) and record his voice doing it? Then one of us could edit it in a video (with the cards that Mariano did or something) and he could upload it in his site (which... if he has an ad system, should give him a revenue... as small as it would be ^^' ).

 

[Kaoz]

An oral translation wouldn't be less work than a written one. I asked him if he wants to do it to make sure, but the answer's no, sorry.

 

[Hardy]

Ah lame.

Well a podcast or something like that sounded like way less work than translating everything on paper... but yeah no is no

(thanks anyway tho ^^ )

 

[Kaoz]

Someone kindly translated parts of Fuji's profile for me. Unfortunately the scans I have are a bit blurry, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Spoiler: Fuji - Stats

Speed - 3: The flow of the game never forces him to run around. As the match progresses, he doesn't need speed.

Power - 3: Though small statured, he can deliver surprisingly powerful blows. But he's not very good in a power battle, so he compensates with his technique.

Stamina - 3: While not yet national level, as a result of daily training there's no problems with his fundamental stamina. But, if he has an eye for greater heights, still more training is needed.

Mental - 4: Having passed the stage where he didn't care about the sense of accomplishent from winning or losing, he's grown obsessed with the win.

Technique - 5: He implements his ideas in ways ordinary people cannot, possessing special A-class technique.

 

[Philia]

That's surely outdated now. His base total should be around 23.

 

[Kaoz]

Of course it's outdated. Most of them should be at this point. But I think the extra comments can still be interesting.

 

[Philia]

It would be awesome to get the stats of those whom we didn't see in action after the fanbook was published i.e Niou, Shiraishi

 

[Kaoz]

I found Chinese translations of the remaining 11-20 profiles here:
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3295397326

Gonna attempt to piece things together with google translate, but if Phantron or anyone else who can actually read Chinese would like to give me a hand, I would very much appreciate it.

Spoiler: Date

Date Danji
The former No. 12 of the 1st String. His doubles partner is Ban. He excels at reading the state of the match and possesses good leadership abilities.

Supplemental Information
The scars on his forehead were caused by Oni and Byoudouin. Byoudouin is responsible for the larger one.

Height: 190cm
Weight: 84kg
Handedness: Left
Eyesight (Unaided): Right: 1.5 Left: 1.5
Special Technique: Danji no Haru, Danji no Natsu

Committee: Sports Festival Executive Committee
Favorite Color: Apricot
Favorite Food: ?
Thing he wants most: Rabbit doll (to give to his sister) [?]
Thing you're bad at: Insects
Specialty outside of tennis: Dog Training

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: ?

Mental - 5: He does not get discouraged even when he's at a disadvantage and is able to calmly assess the situation. [There is something else about him having a righteous personality, but I'm not sure about the specifics.]

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.

That's all I have time for right now. More tomorrow if no one else gets to Ban, Hakamada and the twins first.

Also, again, if you took the Fuji stats with a grain of salt, take this with a mountain of salt instead.

 

[Hardy]

Thanks a lot Kaoz! ^^

Date is so awesome

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

What I got from him:

Stamina: played a match just after coming back, yet showed his strength without any problems. He's competitive when excited and doesn't waste his physical side, he's really stable.

Mental:... with a righteous personality, he looks down to the opponent whenever it relies into trickery.

 

[Kaoz]

Yeah, that's more or less what I understood too, but I wasn't sure enough to actually add them in.

Let's give another one a try:

Spoiler: Ban

Ban Rikiya
The former No. 13 of the first string. [???]

Supplemental Information
He was moved by Oishi wanting to talk with him about his hairstyle.

Height: 185cm
Weight: 82kg
Handedness: Right
Eyesight (Unaided): Right: 1.2, Left: 1.2
Playstyle: Counter Puncher
Shoes: MIZUNO WAVE SENSATION EX
Racket: Prince EXO3 Thunder 100

School Year: High School 3rd Year
Birthday: 7/19 (Leo)
Bloodtype: O
Hobbies: Bodybuilding
Family Members: Grandmother - Father - Mother - Brother
Committee: Sports Committee
Favorite Color: Red
Favorite Food: Curry
Thing he wants most: Dumbbell
Thing you're bad at: Small animals
Specialty outside of tennis: [Some ball game, not sure which one exactly]

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. [The second part of this is a lot of interpretation.]

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 best off trying to play to his own strengths in doubles. [Again a lot of interpretation.]

Also, I forgot about this yesterday, but if anyone has an account over there, it'd be nice if they could grab Akiba's profile from the second page. Edit: Got it.

 

[ChinkyCandie]

Added them to the wikia.

 

[Kaoz]

Spoiler: Hakamada

Hakamada Izou
The former No. 14 of the first string. His mantra is "What a weirdo." [At least I assume that's what they're referring to.] He is the aggressive type and there's plenty of bloodshed during his matches.

Supplemental Information
He is originally from Hiroshima. He is proud of his own abilities.

Height: 186cm
Weight: 76kg
Handedness: Left
Eyesight (Unaided): Right: 1.5, Left: 1.5
Playstyle: Counter Puncher
Shoes: BRIDGESTONE TREAD GRIP X-ARMOR

School Year: High School 3rd Year
Birthday: 8/6 (Leo)
Bloodtype: O
Hobbies: Watching football
Family Members: Grandfather - Grandmother - Father - Mother - Sister
Committee: N/A
Favorite Color: Ebi-Cha
Favorite Food: Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki
Thing he wants most: Baseball ball
Thing you're bad at: Powerless people
Specialty outside of tennis: Fishing

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. [Very unsure on this whole thing.]

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. Because of his energetic character [???], but he really bleeds far too often. According to reports, before the overseas expedition he visited the medical center the most out of all the members of the first string.

The comments here are a lot more negative than I expected.

Spoiler: Yuuma

Mutsu Yuuma
The former No. 15 of the first string. The combination play he and his twin brother display in doubles is unparalleled.

Supplemental Information
???

Height: 176.67cm
Weight: 63.4kg
Handedness: Right
Eyesight (Unaided): Right: 1.0, Left: 1.0
Playstyle: All Rounder

Family Members: Father - Mother - Brother
Committee: Beautification Committee
Favorite Color: Orange
Favorite Food: Cod Roe Pasta
Thing he wants most: Book on urban legends
Thing you're bad at: ?
Specialty outside of tennis: Basketball

Stats

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. [Not sure on the last part.]

 

[FrostyMouse]

Decent in singles? Hmm.

 

[-Ken-]

I did already state before that the twin most be pretty ok in singles as well. Nothing too surprising.

 

[Kaoz]

Spoiler: Yuuho

Mutsu Yuuho
The former No. 16 of the first string. He and his twin brother have been playing doubles together since childhood and accumulated a significant amount of experience that way.

Supplemental Information
He has a strong spirit. Even though they're twins who you would expect to like the same things, he and his brother have quite different preferences at times. [Something about their family, can't make much sense out of it.]

Height: 176.67cm
Weight: 63.4kg
Handedness: Left
Eyesight (Unaided): Right: 1.0, Left: 1.0
Playstyle: All Rounder
Shoes: YONEX POWER CUSHION 24
Racket: YONEX RDIS 100 MIDPLUS

School Year: High School 3rd Year
Birthday: 6/25 (Cancer)
Bloodtype: O
Hobbies: Earth observation
Family Members: Father - Mother - Brother
Committee: Beautification Committee
Favorite Color: Blue [So complementary color to Yuuma's orange.]
Favorite Food: Mentaiko Pasta
Thing he wants most: Unbelievable fiction
Thing you're bad at: ? [Whatever it is exactly, it's the same as Yuuma's.]
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. [There's another sentence but I'm not sure what it means.]

Technique - 5: He is a technical player with a big ego. I want to see him observe his surroundings with absolute calmness.

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?

Sounds like Yuuma got all the positive comments and Yuuho all the negative ones. Individually it sounds like Yuuma's speed is a bit better (maybe technique too) and Yuuho slightly wins in stamina.

Spoiler: Akiba

Akiba Kouyou
The former No. 20 of the first string. His willingness to play even on the lower end of the roster is commendable. [Not sure on this one.] His favorite season is autumn.

Stats

There was a mixup here it seems and I don't have any of his stat descriptions as of right now. Maybe later.

 

[-Ken-]

Yuuho and Yuuma got similar stat and similar tier (11-20 1st stringer), I wonder why the comment are so different.

 

[Kaoz]

Yuuho and Yuuma got similar stat and similar tier (11-20 1st stringer), I wonder why the comment are so different.

Maybe that's what makes Yuuho No. 15 and Yuuma No. 16. The difference probably sounds bigger at first than it actually is though and I think comments that don't contradict each other probably apply to both of them to an extent.
