Prince of Tennis Trivia

1. How old is Echizen Ryoma?

From Quiz "The Prince of Tennis" Quiz

Answer: 12

Ryoma is twelve years old, although he was mistaken for an elementary school student by Sasabe and his buddies in the first episode due his short stature.

From Quiz "Prince of Tennis" Characters and Teams

Answer: All-rounder

As the main character of the manga, Ryoma's signature move is the "Twist Serve" which is a topspin and sidespin move, making the ball curve towards the right when served. He is first known for it before he makes it into the Seigaku regulars, and many of them wanted to challenge Ryoma. While his dominant hand is actually his left, he is special and can use both hands to hold his racket during matches. Usually, he uses his right hand against weaker opponents or for warming up.

The Freshmen Trio are part of the cheerleading squad of Seigaku. Horio is most known for being "all bark and not enough bite", for he always brags that he has "two-years' worth of tennis experience", but when he actually gets on the court and plays, he isn't quite as good as he claims he is. Daisuke, Iori, and Ken are from Digimon Adventure 02, Riku, Sora, and Roxas are from the Kingdom Hearts series, and Kirihara, Kamio, and Zaizen are second-years.

From Quiz "Prince of Tennis" Characters and Teams

Answer: Nine

Ryoma, Tezuka, Fuji, Eiji, Oishi, Kawamura, Inui, Kaidoh, and Momoshiro. Ryoma is the main character, of course. He is the youngest player of Seigaku at the age of 12. Tezuka is the captain of the team, and Oishi is the vice-captain. Fuji is the prodigy of Seigaku - with his counters he wins almost every match played. Eiji is an acrobatic player who uses his skills to win doubles matches with his partner, Oishi. Together, they form the "Golden Pair." Kawamura is usually very gentle and shy, but when he gets a hold of his racket, he turns violent and uses his power to win matches. Inui collects data from his opponents and uses it against them, spotting weaknesses. Kaidoh's special signature move is the "Snake Shot." Momoshiro (often referred to as "Momo" or "Momo-chan") uses his smashes to win matches. He is a rival to Kaidoh, even as freshmen. His signature smash is the "Dunk Smash." He is Ryoma's best friend in the series, and they usually go get burgers and snacks with their spare time.
