"Prince of Tennis" Characters and Teams Quiz

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.

Higuma Otoshi, Hakugei, Kagerou Zutsumi, are three of Fuji's counters. They translate into animals. Higuma Otoshi: Bear, Hakugei: Whale, Kagerou Zutsumi: Dragonfly. Fuji also has a few other counters he uses in the later series.

Answer: Jiro Akutagawa

Jiro is a lazy player from Hyotei, who usually takes naps during boring matches and needs to be waken up by Kabaji. The other three players are from Fudomine and St. Rudolph.

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.

Answer: Buggy Whip Shot

Kaidoh's signature move, the "Snake Shot," is originally known as the "Buggy Whip Shot," just given a different name. He later develops a new move similar to the Snake Shot, called Boomerang Snake, that curves around the pole of the net to the opponent's side of the court. It is returnable, though.
