Together they pursue their goal in winning the National Middle School Tennis Championship while realizing the true meaning of tennis.

I don’t know the series well enough to say which character is which in this photo, so I’ll leave it to you guys to let me know how accurate this group shot is. Thanks to Lira for sharing this!

The Prince of Tennis: Kikumaru Eiji

One of Seigaku's "Golden Pair" along with Shuichiro Oishi, Eiji uses the style called “Acrobatic Play” which takes advantage of his flexible body. He has the sharpest vision on the team with exceptional talent in seeing moving objects. Although he lacked stamina in the beginning of the series, he was able to overcome his weakness through training and hard work.

RxR Shrine makes an impeccable Eiji! And those cakes look really good, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks again to Katrina for sending this!

The Prince of Tennis: Niou Masaharu 02

Known as “The Trickster” from Rikkai Junior High School, Niou Masaharu's technique in playing tennis is to imitate the styles of other players. In this way, he can trick his opponents into thinking they are playing against another person. He often copies his doubles partner, Yagyuu Hiroshi, to confuse their opponents.

I’m pretty sure this is a cosplay Niou, which makes me a little uncertain about that Unknown Cosplay I wrote last November. I know several readers have commented that he was also Niou, but now I’m not so sure. Anyway, thanks to Umeshi for sending this in!
