He is the son of Echizen NanjirÅ� and Takeuchi-Echizen Rinko. He first appears in chapter 1 when he criticized a high school student for the lesser knowledge of grips. As the main character, he is one of the most popular characters in the series.  Background  Ryoma is a first year student at Seishun Academy ('Seigaku' for short), which he attends immediately after his arrival in Japan after formerly residing in the United States. Although only a first year in middle school, Ryoma had already earned notoriety through winning four consecutive titles in the American Junior Tennis tournaments – all in a little over a year. Due to his nearly invincible tennis play, Ryoma has earned the label 'prodigy' by the age of twelve. His looks and confidence make him highly popular with ladies, although he seems not to notice, having his focus exclusively on tennis.  He is an all-court tennis player with many special shots and abilities. One of Ryoma's greatest talents is his ability to learn new techniques after only seeing them performed a few times. He also has an amazing amount of stamina and does not sweat as much as the other players. Along with fellow Seigaku regular Eiji Kikumaru, Ryoma is known to have an exceptional talent for seeing moving objects. He does not go easy on himself and pushes himself more, rather than letting himself rest. He is specifically a singles player, though he did try doubles once with teammate Momoshiro Takeshi. After seeing how bad he was at doubles, Coach RyÅ«zaki usually placed him in the S3 (Singles 3) or S2 (Singles 2) position. When captain Tezuka Kunimitsu goes away for rehabilitation for his arm, Ryoma and teammate Fuji ShÅ«suke take turns for the S1 (Singles 1) position. In the Nationals, Ryoma often found himself placed in the S1 position nearly every match.  His catchphrase (and favorite phrase) in the Japanese anime is "Mada Mada Dane," literally meaning "No, not yet" or "Not good enough," although the literal translation in Japanese is "You still have lots more to work on." In the American version, it is translated as "You still have a ways to go."  In the Prince of Tennis movie Tennis no ÅŒjisama - Futari no Samurai, Ryoma supposedly has an older brother named RyÅ�ga Echizen, but the latter is later revealed to simply be a child that NanjirÅ� took in a few years ago.  In the manga, Ryoma goes with his team to the Nationals. In the anime, he is chosen as a wildcard for the U.S. Open and goes to it, eventually beating Lleyton Hewitt in the finals. He comes back in the OVA, and although he says he wouldn't participate with Seigaku, vice captain Oishi ShÅ«ichiro goads him into a match to take over his spot as a regular, which Echizen does. Re-earning his spot, Ryoma leads the team to their first national victory. He returns to America afterwards, and returns in time for the U-17 Selection Camp. There, he learns that there are still more powerful people out there, and strives to become even stronger to defeat the likes of Tokugawa Kazuya.  Source: Kuryujiru LJ and Prince of Tennis Wikia

His name is romanized as Syusuke Fuji in the Japanese anime, and ShÅ«suke Fuji in all the English versions. He is voiced by Yuki Kaida in the original version of the anime, and voiced by Adam Lawson in the English dubbed version until episode 31, where he is replaced by Johnny Yong Bosch.  Background  ShÅ«suke Fuji is a third year student at Seishun Academy. He is given the title "tensai", or genius, due to his tactical skill on the tennis court. He is in the same class as Eiji Kikumaru, and is Eiji's good friend. Fuji is a leap year baby (his birthday is on February 29), and thus he can only properly celebrate his birthday once every four years. Fuji is cheerful and easygoing, with a penchant for playfully teasing those around him.  He is the middle child of the Fuji family. His unnamed father is a foreign-based employee, and is never seen in the series. His mother, 49-year-old Yoshiko, who also has perpetually-closed eyes, is seen in the manga as a kind and dedicated Japanese housewife. His younger brother, YÅ«ta, is a tennis player at St. Rudolph Middle School. Fuji's older sister, 24-year-old Yumiko, is considered very attractive and is popular among both Fuji and YÅ«ta's friends.  He grew up in Chiba, where he became friends with KojirÅ� Saeki, the current vice-captain of Rokkaku Middle School Tennis Club. Later on, he moved to Tokyo and entered Seigaku.  Fuji usually takes the position of S2 (Singles 2), although sometimes he is paired with Kawamura Takashi or Kikumaru Eiji in Doubles (with Kikumaru, they are called the "Dream Pair"). Also, he and Echizen Ryoma temporarily take turns for the position of S1 (Singles 1) when captain Tezuka Kunimitsu is in rehabilitation. (Sources: Kuryujiru Live Journal, Prince of Tennis Wikia)

He stays at St. Rudolph's dormitory and is very fond of his sister's Raspberry Pie and Pumpkin Curry.

3rd Year Student Birthdate: June 3rd Zodiac: Gemini Class: 3-11 Relatives: Mother; Father Play Style: Data Tennis, Serve and Volley Dominant Hand: Right Special Moves: Data Tennis, Quick serve Height: 184cm or about 6"1' Blood Type: AB Favorite Shoes: Puma (SEQUENCE PTO636 0067) Favorite Racket: Prince (GRAPHITE CHALLENGE) Favorite Subject: Physics Favorite Color: Black Favorite Food: Durian according to Momoshiro, Italian soup noodles according to Eiji Hobby: Gathering data, making juices, making his glasses reflect light Preferred Type: Someone calm. Someone that is older. Father's Occupation: Office worker Seiyuu: Tsuda Kenjirou  Sadaharu Inui is a 3rd-year student and regular member of the Seigaku tennis team. He is an intelligent player and is best known for collecting player data, which he incorporates into a unique playing style known as "Data Tennis".  Four years prior to the start of the series, Inui and Yanagi Renji were an unstoppable Elementary School Doubles Pairing. Despite Inui wanting to continue their close partnership, their doubles pairing was ended when Yanagi suddenly moved to the Kanagawa Prefecture and joined [[|Rikkai Dagaku Fuzoku |Rikkaidai]].  Before Echizen Ryoma's arrival at Seigaku, Inui was recognised as the third-strongest player on the team, next to Fuji ShÅ«suke and Tezuka Kunimitsu. Inui has an intense rivalry with Tezuka, having played at least 30 matches against him and losing every single one of them. In response to Tezuka's superiority, Inui began developing his style of Data Tennis specifically to defeat Tezuka.  Despite being in the regular lineup for six months, Inui was beaten by Ryoma in the intra-school ranking tournament, and then lost to KaidÅ� Kaoru (who had also been beaten earlier by Echizen and was determined not to lose his spot) at the beginning of the series. He later became the team's manager. He uses his data to create exercise programs for the team.  Eventually, Inui is able to make it back as a regular by using the data he obtained over the time he was manager, defeating Momohsiro Takeshi to regain his spot in the regulars. Despite his guaranteed spot, he played a tough match against the undefeated Tezuka and again lost to his captain. Nonetheless, Inui is enthusiastic about regaining his spot on the team, and is eager to practice with his teammates and resume his data-gathering.  While he is a very good singles player, Inui usually plays doubles with various partners, most notably his protegé KaidÅ� Kaoru. His doubling with KaidÅ� helped Seigaku overcome their problems with their lack of strong doubles teams, with the exception of the Golden Pair. (Source: Kuryujiru LJ and Prince of Tennis Wikia)

Sadaharu Inui

2nd Year Student Birthdate: May 11 Zodiac: Taurus Class: 2-7 Relatives: Mother- Kaidoh Hozumi (40); Father-Kaidoh Shibuki (37); Younger Brother- Kaidoh Hazue (11) Play Style: Counter-puncher Dominant Hand: Right Special Moves: Snake Shot, Boomerang Snake Height: 173cm Blood Type: B Favorite Shoes: Puma (Cell Factor PTO634) Favorite Racket: Head (TI.S7) Favorite Subject: English Favorite Color: Blue Favorite Music: Rock Favorite Food: Yogurt, (Yaki)Soba, 100% pure juice Hobby: Running Marathons, collecting bandanas Preferred Type: Someone that knows how to appreciate good food and shows it Father's Occupation: Office worker (Bank) Seiyuu: Kiyasu Kohei  KaidÅ� is a counterpuncher, noted by his stamina and retrieving most of the opponent's shot, using his physique to tire out his opponent first. While his play style becomes more aggressive as the series progresses, his original style is still evident in his matches.  Background  KaidÅ� is mostly known for his "Snake Shot" (derived from the "Buggy Whip Shot"), a curving forehand that keeps his opponents running. He later develops the "Boomerang Snake," which is a shot that swerves out of bounds, around the net pole, and back in bounds. He developed the shot under mentor Sadaharu Inui's advice and by working with him in doubles. He usually plays the Singles 3 position, though he is most often placed in one of the Doubles slots.  In Genius 379, the last chapter of the manga, KaidÅ� is seen as a third year and the new captain of Seigaku, with Momoshiro as his sub-captain. Their rivalry has, apparently, somewhat mellowed with time. As akid he cried a lot. When he was in kindergarten, he was often mistaken for a girl, called Kaoru-chan, and forced to wear a skirt.
