IX. Shitenhouji – Tooyama Kintarou
The bad thing about Echi...er, Koshimae - it was pretty hard to get him worked up. He had to be, like, forced to play, but once you got him going, it was better than awesome. And in Kintarou's book, awesome tennis went a long way, so he was okay with the rest of the package.
Then, Kintarou got an up close and personal look at Seigaku's captain-person, and hot damn, it was like looking at a funhouse mirror. Basically, Seigaku's captain-person was a taller, gloomier, and less talky (if that was even possible) version of Koshimae. Thank God the guy's tennis was a hell of a lot more exciting than his personality.
Still - awesome tennis. Eh, it wasn't like he'd ever minded his teammates for being weirdoes. They were cool where it counted. (Read: tennis.)
So let's go play some tennis!
