===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time. The two later became rivals in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club, where they would often compete to surpass each other.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Intra-School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low to return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength, causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite losing against Echizen, Kaidou was able to retain his regular spot by beating [[Inui Sadaharu]] 7-5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Districts====&lt;br /&gt;
Seigaku, being favored as the first seed, advances to the finals after defeating [[Gyokurin]] in the quarterfinals and Mizu no Fuchi in the semi-finals, where Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 for both rounds and wins both matches 6-0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the finals, instead of facing the second seed [[Kakinoki]] as anticipated, Seigaku instead faces the unseeded [[Fudoumine Middle School]]. Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 against [[Kamio Akira]]. The match starts with Kamio provoking Kaidou by calling him &amp;quot;Viper,&amp;quot; causing Kaidou to lash out at him in irritation by swinging his racket. He is quickly reprimanded by [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]], and the match begins after the two teams apologize to one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the early stages of the match, Kamio shows incredible speed that allows him to catch up to Kaidou&#039;s Snake shots across the court. This counters Kaidou&#039;s methods of draining his opponent&#039;s energy as Kamio easily returns them. In addition, the power of Kaidou&#039;s Snake shot is greatly weakened due to the ball collecting rain from the previous match. Kamio takes the lead after he defeats Kaidou&#039;s Snake shots three times in a row. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With determination to regain the match, Kaidou throws his body to return the ball after slipping, causing the ball to curve around the pole. This accidental Snake shot is named [[Boomerang Snake]] by the spectators watching due to its boomerang-like curve, and the momentum changes to Kaidou. In response to Kaidou&#039;s successful shot, Kamio picks up his speed with [[Quick Serve]] and takes the lead 1-0. Kaidou then tries to hit another [[Boomerang Snake]], however fails as the ball goes out. While losing 3-0, Kaidou becomes irritated with the low chance of succeeding his Snake shots. Despite the unfavorable conditions towards Kaidou, he manages to keep his serves and follow Kamio 5-3. At match point, Kamio uses his Quick Serve to end the match, however Kaidou persists with his Snake shots and constantly returns Kamio&#039;s advantage to deuce. It is revealed by both Inui and Echizen that Kaidou shows no sign of exhaustion due to his exceptional stamina, which was built through a rigorous practice load created by Inui and doubled by Kaidou. As the match continues to shift between advantage and deuce with Kamio&#039;s serves returned with Kaidou&#039;s consecutive Snake shots, Kamio slowly begins to feel pressure and fatigue even as he leads the game. Kaidou&#039;s ability to drain his opponent&#039;s stamina and persist to the last minute shows effect, and the match finally ends with Kaidou&#039;s victory at 7-5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the match, Inui offers to mentor Kaidou to perfect the Boomerang Snake after taking data of the shot, and Kaidou agrees to practice under his advice.&lt;br /&gt;

; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Seigaku, which dominated the Nationals this year, into an unbeatable team. If I can&#039;t do that much, it&#039;d be meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t mind being called by my family name like usual. Aside from Ma...shi, it doesn&#039;t really matter, anything&#039;s fine. As long as it&#039;s not Mamu....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:I didn&#039;t really get anything special, from my parents. I&#039;m in 2nd year middle school, I don&#039;t need to get anything anymore. I didn&#039;t ask for anything to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
:Hm? ...... you thought that I would say ...... my bandana? Please get a life. What kind of question is this?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time. The two later became rivals in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club, where they would often compete to surpass each other.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Intra-School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low to return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength, causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite losing against Echizen, Kaidou was able to retain his regular spot by beating [[Inui Sadaharu]] 7-5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Districts====&lt;br /&gt;
Seigaku, being favored as the first seed, advances to the finals after defeating [[Gyokurin]] in the quarterfinals and Mizu no Fuchi in the semi-finals, where Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 for both rounds and wins both matches 6-0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the finals, instead of facing the second seed [[Kakinoki]] as anticipated, Seigaku instead faces the unseeded [[Fudoumine Middle School]]. Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 against [[Kamio Akira]]. The match starts with Kamio provoking Kaidou by calling him &amp;quot;Viper,&amp;quot; causing Kaidou to lash out at him in irritation by swinging his racket. He is quickly reprimanded by [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]], and the match begins after the two teams apologize to one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the early stages of the match, Kamio shows incredible speed that allows him to catch up to Kaidou&#039;s Snake shots across the court. This counters Kaidou&#039;s methods of draining his opponent&#039;s energy as Kamio easily returns them. In addition, the power of Kaidou&#039;s Snake shot is greatly weakened due to the ball collecting rain from the previous match. Kamio takes the lead after he defeats Kaidou&#039;s Snake shots three times in a row. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With determination to regain the match, Kaidou throws his body to return the ball after slipping, causing the ball to curve around the pole. This accidental Snake shot is named [[Boomerang Snake]] by the spectators watching due to its boomerang-like curve, and the momentum changes to Kaidou. In response to Kaidou&#039;s successful shot, Kamio picks up his speed with [[Quick Serve]] and takes the lead 1-0. Kaidou then tries to hit another [[Boomerang Snake]], however fails as the ball goes out. While losing 3-0, Kaidou becomes irritated with the low chance of succeeding his Snake shots. Despite the unfavorable conditions towards Kaidou, he manages to keep his serves and follow Kamio 5-3. At match point, Kamio uses his Quick Serve to end the match, however Kaidou persists with his Snake shots and constantly returns Kamio&#039;s advantage to deuce. It is revealed by both Inui and Echizen that Kaidou shows no sign of exhaustion due to his exceptional stamina, which was built through a rigorous practice load created by Inui and doubled by Kaidou. As the match continues to shift between advantage and deuce with Kamio&#039;s serves returned with Kaidou&#039;s consecutive Snake shots, Kamio slowly begins to feel pressure and fatigue even as he leads the game. Kaidou&#039;s ability to drain his opponent&#039;s stamina and persist to the last minute shows effect, and the match finally ends with Kaidou&#039;s victory at 7-5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the match, Inui offers to mentor Kaidou to perfect the Boomerang Snake after taking data of the shot, and Kaidou agrees to practice under his advice.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 3&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Snake]] (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Seigaku, which dominated the Nationals this year, into an unbeatable team. If I can&#039;t do that much, it&#039;d be meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t mind being called by my family name like usual. Aside from Ma...shi, it doesn&#039;t really matter, anything&#039;s fine. As long as it&#039;s not Mamu....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:I didn&#039;t really get anything special, from my parents. I&#039;m in 2nd year middle school, I don&#039;t need to get anything anymore. I didn&#039;t ask for anything to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
:Hm? ...... you thought that I would say ...... my bandana? Please get a life. What kind of question is this?&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time. The two later became rivals in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club, where they would often compete to surpass each other.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Intra-School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low to return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength, causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite losing against Echizen, Kaidou was able to retain his regular spot by beating [[Inui Sadaharu]] 7-5. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Districts====&lt;br /&gt;
Seigaku, being favored as the first seed, advances to the finals after defeating [[Gyokurin]] in the quarterfinals and Mizu no Fuchi in the semi-finals, where Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 for both rounds and wins both matches 6-0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the finals, instead of facing the second seed [[Kakinoki]] as anticipated, Seigaku instead faces the unseeded [[Fudoumine Middle School]]. Kaidou is placed in Singles 3 against [[Kamio Akira]]. The match begins with Kamio provoking Kaidou by calling him &amp;quot;Viper,&amp;quot; causing Kaidou to lash out at him in irritation. He is reprimanded by [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]], who apologizes to [[Tachibana Kippei]]. Tachibana shows understanding and apologizes for Kamio&#039;s actions as well, displaying a different image as compared to the rumors of Fudomine being violent. At the start of the match, Kamio&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Snake]] (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Seigaku, which dominated the Nationals this year, into an unbeatable team. If I can&#039;t do that much, it&#039;d be meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t mind being called by my family name like usual. Aside from Ma...shi, it doesn&#039;t really matter, anything&#039;s fine. As long as it&#039;s not Mamu....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:I didn&#039;t really get anything special, from my parents. I&#039;m in 2nd year middle school, I don&#039;t need to get anything anymore. I didn&#039;t ask for anything to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
:Hm? ...... you thought that I would say ...... my bandana? Please get a life. What kind of question is this?&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;Hey, Mamushi. The time has finally come for second years. I&#039;m not going to lose next time, so be ready!&amp;quot; - [[Kamio Akira]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My dad praised you, Kaidou. He said your dignified way of eating is rare among today&#039;s middle school students.&amp;quot; - [[Kawamura Takashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou~! The foundation of doubles is trust between partners-nya~! Right, Oishi!&amp;quot; - [[Kikumaru Eiji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Mamushi? Wakame? What, neither sounds yummy~! Eh? They&#039;re not food?&amp;quot; - [[Tooyama Kintarou]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Bandanna-kun, give me that bandanna.♥ Ah~n, don&#039;t be so rou~gh!&amp;quot; - [[Konjiki Koharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re both the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the one to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;So he&#039;s the one who carried his companion up the cliff. Kids like him are the type to improve.&amp;quot; - [[Saito Itaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;If you come to Okinawa, I&#039;ll challenge you to skin-diving. If you have greater stamina than mine, you should be able to do it.&amp;quot; - [[Shiranui Tomoya]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, that is not the limit to your tennis. I will leave Seigaku&#039;s second consecutive victory to you.&amp;quot; - [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;It looks like Koharu is aiming for you, but I won&#039;t hand Koharu, who has synchronized with me in shoujo glory, over~!&amp;quot; - [[Hitouji Yuuji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I first saw Kaidou-senpai, I thought I was gonna get killed. N-Now, of course I respect him!&amp;quot; - [[Horio Satoshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey Mamushi. Sorry about that time with the cliff. I&#039;ll definitely pay back this debt during the training camp!&amp;quot; - [[Momoshiro Takeshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Boomerang Snake is so against the rules, da~ne. Because of you, I can&#039;t stand snakes anymore, da~ne. They&#039;re scary, da~ne.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagisawa Shinya]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun...take care of what Tezuka-kun entrusted to you. Seigaku is now in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yamato Yuudai]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We should play beach volleyball again in the summer. Hey, hey, what are you getting red for, Kaidou?&amp;quot; - [[Ryuuzaki Sumire]]&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
==Kirihara Akaya==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Daily School Life===&lt;br /&gt;
* 6:40 Sleeps in late, rushes out of the house while biting into some bread&lt;br /&gt;
* 7:00	Just barely makes it to school for the start of morning practice&lt;br /&gt;
* 8:30	1st Period: History - The Warring States Period&lt;br /&gt;
* 9:30	2nd Period: Mathematics (secretly texts)&lt;br /&gt;

* 11:40	4th Period: Industrial Arts - Woodworking&lt;br /&gt;
* 12:30	Lunch Break: Buys bread in Room 3-A&lt;br /&gt;
* 13:00	Plays soccer with classmates in the schoolyard&lt;br /&gt;
* 13:30	5th Period: Japanese - Kanji Literature&lt;br /&gt;
* 14:30	6th Period: Health and Physical Education&lt;br /&gt;

* 22:30	Goes to bed without turning off the TV or lights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is brimming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]], and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the Anime-only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his Bloodshot ability, suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him to join the tennis club.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was revealed by [[Yanagi Renji]] that Kirihara and [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]] were opponents during their first year at the Newcomers Tournament. In an interview, Konomi stated that Kirihara had won that match, although a future match between the two may end up with a different outcome. &amp;lt;ref name = New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;gt; New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Use subheadings====&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime only arcs====&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Relationships===&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[One-footed Split Step]] (スプリットステップ)&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Knuckle Serve]] (ナックルサーブ)&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Speed Play]] (スピードプレイ)&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Bloodshot Eyes]] (赤目モード)&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Muga no Kyouchi]] (無我の境地)&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] 悪魔化 (デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Angel Mode]] 天使化 (エンジェルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sane Devil Mode]] (正気のまま悪魔化)&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime Only Abilities===&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Super Rising]]&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Phantom Ball]]&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tennis Bag Contents===&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low to return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength, causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Seigaku, which dominated the Nationals this year, into an unbeatable team. If I can&#039;t do that much, it&#039;d be meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t mind being called by my family name like usual. Aside from Ma...shi, it doesn&#039;t really matter, anything&#039;s fine. As long as it&#039;s not Mamu....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:I didn&#039;t really get anything special, from my parents. I&#039;m in 2nd year middle school, I don&#039;t need to get anything anymore. I didn&#039;t ask for anything to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
:Hm? ...... you thought that I would say ...... my bandana? Please get a life. What kind of question is this?&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
==Kirihara Akaya==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Daily School Life===&lt;br /&gt;
* 6:40 Sleeps in late, rushes out of the house while biting into some bread&lt;br /&gt;
* 7:00	Just barely makes it to school for the start of morning practice&lt;br /&gt;
* 8:30	1st Period: History - The Warring States Period&lt;br /&gt;

* 22:30	Goes to bed without turning off the TV or lights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is brimming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]], and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the Anime-only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his Bloodshot ability, suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him to join the tennis club.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was revealed by [[Yanagi Renji]] that Kirihara and [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]] were opponents during their first year at the Newcomers Tournament. In an interview, Konomi stated that Kirihara had won that match, although a future match between the two may end up with a different outcome. &amp;lt;ref name = New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;gt; New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Use subheadings====&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime only arcs====&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Relationships===&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[One-footed Split Step]]&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Knuckle Serve]]&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Speed Play]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Bloodshot Eyes]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Muga no Kyouchi]]&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Angel Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sane Devil Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime Only Abilities===&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Super Rising]]&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Phantom Ball]]&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tennis Bag Contents===&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low to return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength, causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Snake]] (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Snake]] (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes.

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 3&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 4.5&#039;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 3&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Snake (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior.

&lt;br /&gt;

This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed -3:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Snake (スネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]] (ブーメランスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Short Snake]] (ショートスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Tornado Snake]] (トルネードスネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Reverse Snake]] (リバーススネイク)&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]] (ジャイロレーザー)&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]] (悪魔化/デビルか)&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Boomerang Snake]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Gyro Laser]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;

Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Devil Mode]]&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

         &lt;br /&gt;
====Tokyo Prefecturals====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Boomerang Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Short Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Tornado Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Reverse Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Gyro Laser]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Devil Mode]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

===Messages From and To Others===&lt;br /&gt;

====Others about Kaidou&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;====&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, I have developed a lot of new Inui Juices for you to try. Next time, come to my house&amp;quot; - [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You keep on making me worried over you. If you&#039;re hurt, come to my uncle&#039;s hospital any time!&amp;quot; - [[Ooishi Shuuichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I become a middle-school student like Kaoru-niisan, I would also like to become fired up in my youth with club activities.&amp;quot; - [[Kaidou Hazue]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey, Mamushi. The time has finally come for second years. I&#039;m not going to lose next time, so be ready!&amp;quot; - [[Kamio Akira]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My dad praised you, Kaidou. He said your dignified way of eating is rare among today&#039;s middle school students.&amp;quot; - [[Kawamura Takashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou~! The foundation of doubles is trust between partners-nya~! Right, Oishi!&amp;quot; - [[Kikumaru Eiji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Mamushi? Wakame? What, neither sounds yummy~! Eh? They&#039;re not food?&amp;quot; - [[Tooyama Kintarou]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Bandanna-kun, give me that bandanna.♥ Ah~n, don&#039;t be so rou~gh!&amp;quot; - [[Konjiki Koharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re both the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the one to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;So he&#039;s the one who carried his companion up the cliff. Kids like him are the type to improve.&amp;quot; - [[Saito Itaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;If you come to Okinawa, I&#039;ll challenge you to skin-diving. If you have greater stamina than mine, you should be able to do it.&amp;quot; - [[Shiranui Tomoya]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, that is not the limit to your tennis. I will leave Seigaku&#039;s second consecutive victory to you.&amp;quot; - [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;It looks like Koharu is aiming for you, but I won&#039;t hand Koharu, who has synchronized with me in shoujo glory, over~!&amp;quot; - [[Hitouji Yuuji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I first saw Kaidou-senpai, I thought I was gonna get killed. N-Now, of course I respect him!&amp;quot; - [[Horio Satoshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey Mamushi. Sorry about that time with the cliff. I&#039;ll definitely pay back this debt during the training camp!&amp;quot; - [[Momoshiro Takeshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Boomerang Snake is so against the rules, da~ne. Because of you, I can&#039;t stand snakes anymore, da~ne. They&#039;re scary, da~ne.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagisawa Shinya]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun...take care of what Tezuka-kun entrusted to you. Seigaku is now in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yamato Yuudai]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We should play beach volleyball again in the summer. Hey, hey, what are you getting red for, Kaidou?&amp;quot; - [[Ryuuzaki Sumire]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I accidentally saw Kaidou-senpai getting ignored by Karupin while strolling... this was actually the fifth time.&amp;quot; - [[Echizen Ryoma]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Kaidou about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Kirihara Akaya]]: &amp;quot;I recognize that you were chosen to be a representative because of your abilities, but if you lose focus for even a second, I’m gonna snatch that spot right out from under you.

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Tokyo Districts====          &lt;br /&gt;
         &lt;br /&gt;
====Tokyo Prefecturals====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed -3:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 4.5:&#039;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Boomerang Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Short Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Tornado Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Reverse Snake]]====&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Gyro Laser]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[Devil Mode]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Prior to the events of the main story====&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Districts===          &lt;br /&gt;
         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime specific events===&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A buggy whip shot that shows a sharp change in angle, often used by Kaidou to capture the opponent&#039;s stamina by forcing them to run to both ends of the court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Boomerang Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that curves around the pole. It was a technique that succeeded by chance by slipping during the Tokyo District tournament against [[Kamio Akira]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Tornado Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A Snake shot that emits hundred of gyro rotations from the same motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Reverse Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A shot that draws a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Gyro Laser]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Derived from [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&#039;s [[Laser Beam]], a quick forehand shot with a gyro rotation. [[Inui Sadaharu]] helped form this shot using the same form as the [[Tornado Snake]] after an unofficial doubles match pairing with Yagyuu.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Triggered once during Nationals against [[Kirihara Akaya]] and [[Yanagi Renji]] due to anger after his partner, [[Inui Sadaharu]], was injured by Kirihara. Although speed and power increases, it can lead to drastic consequences. He was soon stopped by Inui and returned to normal.&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Moves]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Snake&#039;&#039;&#039; is a shot with a side spin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By hitting the ball from a low stance with a whipping motion, the user makes it follow a curved path. The move is primarily designed to drain the opponent&#039;s stamina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Variations===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Boomerang Snake:&#039;&#039;&#039; The ball curves around the net pole. It can only be used from the outer corners of the court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Short Snake:&#039;&#039;&#039; Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tornado Snake:&#039;&#039;&#039; By adding a gyro spin to the shot, the ball&#039;s speed increases. Varying the spin axis results in over 100 possible shot courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Reverse Snake:&#039;&#039;&#039; Curves in a reverse trajectory of a normal Snake.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime specific events===&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou specializes in his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

====Others about Kaidou&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;====&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I first saw Kaidou-senpai, I thought I was gonna get killed. N-Now, of course I respect him!&amp;quot; - [[Horio Satoshi]]&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime specific events===&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature [[Snake]] shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. He is also prevalent in long endurance matches that drains his opponent&#039;s mental strength, concentration and stamina. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime specific events===&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;You keep on making me worried over you. If you&#039;re hurt, come to my uncle&#039;s hospital any time!&amp;quot; - [[Ooishi Shuuichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I become a middle-school student like Kaoru-niisan, I would also like to become fired up in my youth with club activities.&amp;quot; - [[Kaidou Hazue]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey, Mamushi. The time has finally come for second years. I&#039;m not going to lose next time, so be ready!&amp;quot; - [[Kamio Akira]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, I have developed a lot of new Inui Juices for you to try. Next time, come to my house&amp;quot; - [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You keep on making me worried over you. If you&#039;re hurt, come to my uncle&#039;s hospital any time!&amp;quot; - [[Ooishi Shuuichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I become a middle-school student like Kaoru-niisan, I would also like to become fired up in my youth with club activities.&amp;quot; - [[Kaidou Hazue]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey, Mamushi. The time has finally come for second years. I&#039;m not going to lose next time, so be ready!&amp;quot; - [[Kamio Akira]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My dad praised you, Kaidou. He said your dignified way of eating is rare among today&#039;s middle school students.&amp;quot; - [[Kawamura Takashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou~! The foundation of doubles is trust between partners-nya~! Right, Oishi!&amp;quot; - [[Kikumaru Eiji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Mamushi? Wakame? What, neither sounds yummy~! Eh? They&#039;re not food?&amp;quot; - [[Tooyama Kintarou]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Bandanna-kun, give me that bandanna.♥ Ah~n, don&#039;t be so rou~gh!&amp;quot; - [[Konjiki Koharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re both the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the one to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;So he&#039;s the one who carried his companion up the cliff. Kids like him are the type to improve.&amp;quot; - [[Saito Itaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;If you come to Okinawa, I&#039;ll challenge you to skin-diving. If you have greater stamina than mine, you should be able to do it.&amp;quot; - [[Shiranui Tomoya]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, that is not the limit to your tennis. I will leave Seigaku&#039;s second consecutive victory to you.&amp;quot; - [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;It looks like Koharu is aiming for you, but I won&#039;t hand Koharu, who has synchronized with me in shoujo glory, over~!&amp;quot; - [[Hitouji Yuuji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I first saw Kaidou-senpai, I thought I was gonna get killed. N-Now, of course I respect him!&amp;quot; - [[Horio Satoshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey Mamushi. Sorry about that time with the cliff. I&#039;ll definitely pay back this debt during the training camp!&amp;quot; - [[Momoshiro Takeshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Boomerang Snake is so against the rules, da~ne. Because of you, I can&#039;t stand snakes anymore, da~ne. They&#039;re scary, da~ne.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagisawa Shinya]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun...take care of what Tezuka-kun entrusted to you. Seigaku is now in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yamato Yuudai]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We should play beach volleyball again in the summer. Hey, hey, what are you getting red for, Kaidou?&amp;quot; - [[Ryuuzaki Sumire]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I accidentally saw Kaidou-senpai getting ignored by Karupin while strolling... this was actually the fifth time.&amp;quot; - [[Echizen Ryoma]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Kaidou about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Kirihara Akaya]]: &amp;quot;I recognize that you were chosen to be a representative because of your abilities, but if you lose focus for even a second, I’m gonna snatch that spot right out from under you.

Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot, which forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns that seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causing him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature [[Snake]] shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake]] shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake]] shot that forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns, which seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causes him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;

         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, I have developed a lot of new Inui Juices for you to try. Next time, come to my house&amp;quot; - [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature Snake shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature. However, underneath his fierce exterior, he is shown to be shy, hard-working and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of [[Seigaku]], and would go as far as getting hit to protect [[Echizen Ryoma]] from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This also reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first [[Snake shot]].&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. [[Kachiro Kato]] reveals a recording of one of Kaidou&#039;s prior matches, showing his extreme play that causes the other first years, [[Horio Satoshi]] and [[Mizuno Katsuo]], to fear for Echizen&#039;s next match. Despite the concerns of his peers, Echizen remains unaffected and proceeds to the match against Kaidou. Early on, the match advances in favor of Kaidou due to his strategy to drain Echizen&#039;s stamina through his [[Snake shot]] that forces Echizen to repeatedly run to both ends of the court. However, as the match continues, Kaidou is shown to become increasingly exhausted while hitting Echizen&#039;s returns, which seemingly became stronger and faster to him. It is revealed by [[Inui Sadaharu]] that Echizen had aimed his returns at Kaidou&#039;s feet, resulting in Kaidou being forced to bend low and return the shot and using 2-3 times the normal strength and causes him to lose more stamina. In the end, Kaidou fell for Echizen&#039;s strategy and loses the match 6-4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]], and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the Anime-only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his Bloodshot ability, suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him to join the tennis club.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was revealed by [[Yanagi Renji]] that Kirihara and [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]] were opponents during their first year at the Newcomers Tournament. In an interview, Konomi stated that Kirihara had won that match, although a future match between the two may end up with a different outcome. &amp;lt;ref name = New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;gt; New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime only arcs===&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Tennis Bag Contents===&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]], and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the Anime-only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his Bloodshot ability, suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him to join the tennis club.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was revealed by [[Yanagi Renji]] that Kirihara and [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]] were opponents during their first year at the Newcomers Tournament. In an interview, Konomi stated that Kirihara had won that match, although a future match between the two may end up with a different outcome. &amp;lt;ref name = New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;gt; New Prince of Tennis Fanbook Vol 23.5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anime only arcs===&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fanbook 10.5 Information&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;(New) Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5&#039;&#039;, pg 000, translated by [https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/|Translator]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;float:left;margin-right:10px;font-size:0.9em;width:350px;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|[[file:Kirihara_Akaya_DevilMode_105_Stats.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents===&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;

; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Kirihara about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] and [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Actually, my play against southpaws is perfect. Both of you should gather together, and I&#039;ll crush you....just kidding!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]] and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the anime only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his ability Bloodshot suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 2 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter Rikkai University Middle School. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him joining the tennis club. In the Anime (Another Story I), his opponent was [[Sanada Genichirou]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime only arcs==&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fanbook 10.5 Information&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;(New) Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5&#039;&#039;, pg 000, translated by [https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/|Translator]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;

|[[file:Kirihara_Akaya_DevilMode_105_Stats.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Tennis Bag Contents===&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Words for the Two===&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;It seems that you&#039;ve come to have control over your mental side as well. I&#039;ll take that as a report that you&#039;ve decreased how often you go into Red Eyes mode.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the ones to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya! In this training camp, you&#039;re going to wake up together with me at 4 every morning! I&#039;m going to take this opportunity to fix your bad habit of oversleeping!&amp;quot; - [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya-sempai is sometimes very scary, but he&#039;s super cool in a match~&amp;quot; - [[Urayama Shiita]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Oi, Kirihara! If you&#039;re a man, don&#039;t make such a fuss over one or two hairstyles! That&#039;s shameful!&amp;quot; - [[Shishido Ryou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, if it&#039;s you, you&#039;ll be able to lead Rikkai. Good luck. You&#039;ll return my 100 yen before graduation, won&#039;t you?&amp;quot; - [[Kuwahara Jackal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I can&#039;t decide if I want to get a nice perm like Kirihara-kun&#039;s. What do you think?&amp;quot; - [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Heh, Kirihara likes shounen manga too~? If you brought any to the training camp, I want to see~!&amp;quot; - [[Akutagawa Jirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more! Kirihara-kun, if you hit things like that, your luck will run out~!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Compared to the time at the Kantou tournament, Kirihara has grown in both strength and mind. You should be thankful to your upperclassmen.&amp;quot; - [[Tachibana Kippei]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara-kun should study English just a bit more. You&#039;ll be troubled once you become a pro.&amp;quot; - [[Chitose Senri]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You&#039;re a fun guy to mess around with. Let me be straight, the one who came up with &amp;quot;seaweed head&amp;quot; was Yagyuu.&amp;quot; - [[Niou Masaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We played a match during the practice matches between middle and high schoolers. You were quite the second year. You make me look forward to the future.&amp;quot; - Nishiki&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I&#039;ve been wondering since our match. Your curly hair, can I touch it?&amp;quot; - [[Matsudaira Chikahiko]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Heeey, Akaya. I totally saw that you snuck in candy with you! Let me have some too.&amp;quot; - [[Marui Bunta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though you turned into a devil, you still managed to keep your senses...it seems that I somewhat underestimated you. Sorry, sorry.&amp;quot; - [[Miyako Shinobu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I, Yanagi Renji, am glad to have entrusted the representation of us at this training camp to you. I look forward to a rematch once you have reached the top.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;To think you were evenly matched with that older brother of mine. But now, my older brother is super strong, so you better be prepared!&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Yuuta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, you have truly become much stronger since the time we first had a match. I leave Rikkai&#039;s tennis club in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yukimura Seiichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Name about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] and [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Actually, my play against southpaws is perfect. Both of you should gather together, and I&#039;ll crush you....just kidding!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Shiraishi-san! Here’s a coupon for the salon I visit, I got it just for you! It’s my thanks for that day♪&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]] and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the anime only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his ability Bloodshot suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 2 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter Rikkai University Middle School. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him joining the tennis club. In the Anime (Another Story I), his opponent was [[Sanada Genichirou]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime only arcs==&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|[[file:Kirihara_Akaya_DevilMode_105_Stats.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis Bag Contents==&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Words for the Two===&lt;br /&gt;
====Others about Name====&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;It seems that you&#039;ve come to have control over your mental side as well. I&#039;ll take that as a report that you&#039;ve decreased how often you go into Red Eyes mode.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of you have some damn good daring eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;The fact that pure, angel wings would spring from your back was completely obvious to me!&amp;quot; - [[Atobe Keigo]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Devil Mode made me quake in my boots! ...Like an angel, Kirihara was enjoying himself...pfft.&amp;quot; - [[Amane Hikaru]] The play on words is Debiru/Bibiru and Tenshi/High Tension&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya-kun is truly impressive. He&#039;s the pride of this tennis school. We&#039;ll be cheering for him.&amp;quot; - Uchida&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara-kun, your eyes are completely red! If it&#039;s fine with you, please use my eye drops. It&#039;s effective with bloodshot eyes.&amp;quot; - [[Ootori Choutarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara and Shiraishi&#039;s doubles was beyond my imagination. They&#039;re making the flame in my soul burn stronger and stronger...&amp;quot; - [[Oni Juujirou]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;My name is not &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot;! I will soon &amp;quot;Kill You&amp;quot;! - [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;If we were to combine Kirihara Akaya&#039;s two sets of data...it seems I need to analyze this more.&amp;quot; - [[Kurobe Yukio]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the ones to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya! In this training camp, you&#039;re going to wake up together with me at 4 every morning! I&#039;m going to take this opportunity to fix your bad habit of oversleeping!&amp;quot; - [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya-sempai is sometimes very scary, but he&#039;s super cool in a match~&amp;quot; - [[Urayama Shiita]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Oi, Kirihara! If you&#039;re a man, don&#039;t make such a fuss over one or two hairstyles! That&#039;s shameful!&amp;quot; - [[Shishido Ryou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, if it&#039;s you, you&#039;ll be able to lead Rikkai. Good luck. You&#039;ll return my 100 yen before graduation, won&#039;t you?&amp;quot; - [[Kuwahara Jackal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I can&#039;t decide if I want to get a nice perm like Kirihara-kun&#039;s. What do you think?&amp;quot; - [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;We played a match during the practice matches between middle and high schoolers. You were quite the second year. You make me look forward to the future.&amp;quot; - Nishiki&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I&#039;ve been wondering since our match. Your curly hair, can I touch it?&amp;quot; - [[Matsudaira Chikahiko]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Heeey, Akaya. I totally saw that you snuck in candy with you! Let me have some too.&amp;quot; - [[Marui Bunta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though you turned into a devil, you still managed to keep your senses...it seems that I somewhat underestimated you. Sorry, sorry.&amp;quot; - [[Miyako Shinobu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I, Yanagi Renji, am glad to have entrusted the representation of us at this training camp to you. I look forward to a rematch once you have reached the top.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;To think you were evenly matched with that older brother of mine. But now, my older brother is super strong, so you better be prepared!&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Yuuta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, you have truly become much stronger since the time we first had a match. I leave Rikkai&#039;s tennis club in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yukimura Seiichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kaidou Kaoru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;海堂薫&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;かいどうかおる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Seigaku]]. He is a tenacious player known for his stamina, long reach and signature Snake shots. He is mentored by [[Inui Sadaharu]] and holds a rivalry with [[Momoshiro Takeshi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kaidou Kaoru==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is notable for the bandanna he wears, which ranges from several colors and patterns. In the Anime, he is shown to primarily wear a green bandanna with white patterns (orange in his earlier appearances), while in the manga and video games he wears a blue and black-printed bandanna. His arms and legs are stated to be unusually long, which allows him to perform his curving Snake shots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and unsociable, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsettling nature, where he occasionally lashes out when upset. However, underneath his cold exterior, he is shown to be shy, diligent and polite.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of Seigaku, and would go as far as getting hit to protect Echizen from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carry an injured Momoshiro up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou also has a soft spot for cute animals such as cats and dogs, however he is often ignored or disliked by them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was scared and alone in his class. He was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first snake shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Districts===&lt;br /&gt;
; School Ranking Tournament&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. As revealed in [[Kachiro Kato]]&#039;s recording of one of the prior matches, he is a relentless opponent that the other first year members fear.       &lt;br /&gt;
         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;

==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;The reason I&#039;m not popular with girls across the nation is probably because I lost a match against Kaidou-san.&amp;quot; - [[Aoi Kentarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of them have some good daredevil eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, I heard you like cats. I have a pet rabbit as well. Animals can really be soothing.&amp;quot; - [[Aragaki Koichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, I have developed a lot of new Inui Juices for you to try. Next time, come to my house&amp;quot; - [[Inui Sadaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You keep on making me worried over you. If you&#039;re hurt, come to my uncle&#039;s hospital any time!&amp;quot; - [[Ooishi Shuuichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I become a middle-school student like Kaoru-niisan, I would also like to become fired up in my youth with club activities.&amp;quot; - [[Kaidou Hazue]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey, Mamushi. The time has finally come for second years. I&#039;m not going to lose next time, so be ready!&amp;quot; - [[Kamio Akira]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My dad praised you, Kaidou. He said your dignified way of eating is rare among today&#039;s middle school students.&amp;quot; - [[Kawamura Takashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou~! The foundation of doubles is trust between partners-nya~! Right, Oishi!&amp;quot; - [[Kikumaru Eiji]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;So he&#039;s the one who carried his companion up the cliff. Kids like him are the type to improve.&amp;quot; - [[Saito Itaru]]&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, that is not the limit to your tennis. I will leave Seigaku&#039;s second consecutive victory to you.&amp;quot; - [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;It looks like Koharu is aiming for you, but I won&#039;t hand Koharu, who has synchronized with me in shoujo glory, over~!&amp;quot; - [[Hitouji Yuuji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou. It seems that you&#039;re weak against ghosts, but tell me where you saw them. My journalist spirit had been kindled.&amp;quot; - [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou, remember your match with Tezuka. You should already be able to draw out your strength.&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Shuusuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;When I first saw Kaidou-senpai, I thought I was gonna get killed. N-Now, of course I respect him!&amp;quot; - [[Horio Satoshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Hey Mamushi. Sorry about that time with the cliff. I&#039;ll definitely pay back this debt during the training camp!&amp;quot; - [[Momoshiro Takeshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Boomerang Snake is so against the rules, da~ne. Because of you, I can&#039;t stand snakes anymore, da~ne. They&#039;re scary, da~ne.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagisawa Shinya]]  &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun...take care of what Tezuka-kun entrusted to you. Seigaku is now in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yamato Yuudai]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We should play beach volleyball again in the summer. Hey, hey, what are you getting red for, Kaidou?&amp;quot; - [[Ryuuzaki Sumire]]&lt;br /&gt;

perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was scared and alone in his class. He was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As revealed in [[Kachiro Kato]]&#039;s recording of one of the prior matches, he is a relentless opponent that the other first year members fear.       &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named &amp;quot;Kaoru&amp;quot; in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Among the Seigaku regulars, Kaidou is known take great efforts in training to push himself to &lt;br /&gt;
perform beyond his limits. This is shown in his daily training schedule, which is noted to be three times more than a regular load &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis, Genius33&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This reflects in his personality, where he holds a strong mentality of persevering even in the most dire situations and will selflessly withstand harsh conditions to bring victory to his team and friends. &lt;br /&gt;

===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was scared and alone in his class. He was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first snake shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Districts====&lt;br /&gt;
; School Ranking Tournament&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament. As revealed in [[Kachiro Kato]]&#039;s recording of one of the prior matches, he is a relentless opponent that the other first year members fear.       &lt;br /&gt;
         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Relationships====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Inui Sadaharu&lt;br /&gt;
: Kaidou shares a mentor-student relationship with [[Inui Sadaharu]]. &lt;br /&gt;
; Momoshiro Takeshi&lt;br /&gt;
: Brief description of relation to character&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is prevalent at his signature snake shots, which he can manipulate to various rotations and curves. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
Kaidou is serious and short-tempered, earning him the nickname &amp;quot;Mamushi&amp;quot; for his viper-like play style and behavior. He is often misunderstood or feared by others due to his tough appearance and unsocial nature, however underneath he is shown to be polite, shy and diligent. He also holds strong sense of justice and cares for the people close to him, such as the regular members of Seigaku, and would go as far as getting hit to protect Echizen from a flying ball&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Episode 163&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or carrying an injured Momoshiro up a cliff.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;New Prince of Tennis: Golden age 17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon entering Seigaku as a first year student, he was scared and isolated in his class. He was able to talk to [[Momoshiro Takeshi]] for the first time, which later became his rival in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also participated in the Newcomers Tournament against an unnamed opponent. Although he lost the match, he was able to hit his first snake shot.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Districts====&lt;br /&gt;
; School Ranking Tournament&lt;br /&gt;
As one of Seigaku&#039;s regular members, Kaidou is the first serious opponent [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the Seigaku&#039;s Ranking Tournament.       &lt;br /&gt;
         &lt;br /&gt;
===Tokyo Prefecturals====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Relationships====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Inui Sadaharu&lt;br /&gt;
: Kaidou shares a mentor-student relationship with [[Inui Sadaharu]]. &lt;br /&gt;
; Momoshiro Takeshi&lt;br /&gt;
: Brief description of relation to character&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Paint a coherent picture of the character&#039;s play style. Use information from the fan books as well as the manga. In general this does not mean listing every bit of information ever mentioned, but rather focusing on remarkable strengths and shortcomings, as well as how the most important special moves and abilities are incorporated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
Once, as a primary school student, he was forced to wear a skirt and cried.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This fact was also brought up by [[Konjiki Koharu]] during Nationals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Prince of Tennis, Genius324&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===School Ranking Tournament====&lt;br /&gt;
As a regular member in Seigaku&#039;s tennis club, Kaidou is one of the first serious opponents [[Echizen Ryoma]] faces during the monthly School Ranking Tournament.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Relationships====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Inui Sadaharu&lt;br /&gt;
: Kaidou shares a mentor-student relationship with [[Inui Sadaharu]]. &lt;br /&gt;
; Momoshiro Takeshi&lt;br /&gt;
: Brief description of relation to character&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Anime specific events====&lt;br /&gt;
You would put descriptions of e.g. Sengoku&#039;s foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Play Style===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;float:left;margin-right:10px;font-size:0.9em;width:350px;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|[[file:Tanegashima_Shuuji_105_Stats.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paint a coherent picture of the character&#039;s play style. Use information from the fan books as well as the manga. In general this does not mean listing every bit of information ever mentioned, but rather focusing on remarkable strengths and shortcomings, as well as how the most important special moves and abilities are incorporated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Other Special Moves&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* List special moves not mentioned above&lt;br /&gt;
* Use Japanese names&lt;br /&gt;

===Tennis Bag Contents&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, translated by disutansu. Retrieved from https://fanbook.livejournal.com/12890.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
; Bandannas: In order to immediately switch bandannas when one gets dirty, he always has 2~3 bandannas.&lt;br /&gt;
; Writing Implements: Instead of mechanical pencils, it seems he only uses ballpoint pens to take notes.&lt;br /&gt;
; Notebook: In order to easily file away important sections, he uses the ringed-style notebook.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bento Box: A splendid lacquer, multi-tier bento box wrapped in a furoshiki (cloth). Of course, he brings chopsticks and the chopstick rest.&lt;br /&gt;
; Sewing Kit: Sewing tools and nail clippers are stored away here. He always keeps his nails clean so he makes an effort to practice.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Handkerchief and Tissue Paper: The hygienic Kaidoh, he carries a handkerchief and tissue without forgetting. It seems he has a methodical personality.&lt;br /&gt;
; Pass Case: A pass case with proof that you&#039;re a Seigaku student. Is Kaidoh&#039;s picture as scary as one might expect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Konomi, Kaidou was named in order to highlight the gap from having a cute name with a stern face.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Kaidou&#039;s signature snake shot was inspired from Konomi&#039;s upperclassman, who once put a spin on a ball. This prompted him to include a similar move in the story. Additionally, as the first opponent in the story who makes [[Echizen Ryoma]] serious, he wanted to show the intensity of tennis by omitting all words when drawing the match scenes between them during the School Ranking Tournament.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on the line for Kaidou&#039;s lips and the eyelashes under his eyes. He wanted to make his eyes glaring so he would have a hungry look.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*After drawing for so long, Konomi stated that he has shown Kaidou&#039;s good points, such as his love for animals and his courtesy. Over the course of New Prince of Tennis, he wants to show the same hungriness he showed during the match with [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] in a new light.&amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kaidou for a day, there wouldn&#039;t be any benefits except for trying out training and running 42.195km (Kaidou&#039;s record in primary school). &amp;lt;ref name = &amp;quot;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 6 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]] and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the anime only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his ability Bloodshot suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 2 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter Rikkai University Middle School. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him joining the tennis club. In the Anime (Another Story I), his opponent was [[Sanada Genichirou]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime only arcs==&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis Bag Contents==&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirihara Akaya&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;切原赤也&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;きりはらあかや&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Rikkai University Middle School]]. He is aiming to become the number one player at Rikkai by defeating their &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; ([[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]]). He is known for his unpredictable and violent temper on the tennis court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara has a mostly consistent appearance across all forms of media. In the manga and manga-style games, he has hazel eyes instead of the green in the anime. When in Angel or Devil Mode, his skin takes on a bright red hue and his hair becomes white.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His wild, curly hair has earned him the nickname &amp;quot;Seaweed Head.&amp;quot; The curls are likely natural as he is shown to have a full head of curls at age 12 when his hair was much shorter. Konomi has stated that he felt like his depictions of Kirihara&#039;s hairstyle in the early series are inconsistent and that it is still hard for him to get the color of his hair right.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is breaming with self-confidence and works tirelessly toward his goals. He comes across as cocky and self-assured, but he is always willing to work harder than anyone to improve himself when he falls short as is shown in how he trains outside of regular Club hours. He is boyish, gullible, high-energy, and enthusiastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara often gets in trouble with people in positions of authority, namely [[Sanada Genichirou]] and is the type to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even despite this, he is always respectful in the way he speaks to his upperclassmen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is teased by his upperclassmen and others in the series for his mess of curly hair which easily triggers his temper. On court, this same temper leads to him violently attacking or verbally antagonizing his opponents. In the anime only Senbatsu Arc, there is a deeper exploration of his mental state as a result of his ability Bloodshot suggesting that he is at odds with his inner demons and is actively fighting the dangerous, violent temper he displays on court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is also terribly afraid of ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 2, Kirihara experienced his first bloodshot eyes after his older sister took his toy.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Volume 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;PairPuri Vol 2 Kaidou x Kirihara&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a primary school student, he studied intensely to enter Rikkai University Middle School. After testing in and enrolling, he challenges the &amp;quot;Big Three&amp;quot; of Rikkai&#039;s Tennis Club, [[Sanada Genichirou]], [[Yukimura Seiichi]], and [[Yanagi Renji]], to a match and loses. This prompts him joining the tennis club. In the Another Story I, his opponent was [[Sanada Genichirou]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Use subheadings===&lt;br /&gt;
You should also [[link to match pages]] (templates coming soon) when applicable. It&#039;s enough to say here like &amp;quot;Sengoku lost to Kamio&amp;quot; while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime only arcs==&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than &amp;quot;history.&amp;quot; This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Play Style==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara is an aggressive baseliner who tries to quickly end matches with his fast footwork and techniques. When he loses his temper on court, he is able to access his more powerful abilities such as Angel and Devil Mode and Bloodshot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fanbook 10.5 Information&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;(New) Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5&#039;&#039;, pg 000, translated by [https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/|Translator]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;float:left;margin-right:10px;font-size:0.9em;width:350px;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|[[file:Kirihara_Akaya_DevilMode_105_Stats.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 4 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; His exceptional speed has granted him a regular spot on the two times national champion team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 3 (4.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; While his play is normally focused on technique, once he enters Devil Mode, his power increases, so that he can hurt his opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3 (2):&#039;&#039;&#039;  Once in Devil Mode, his stamina is drained faster. He needs to learn to manage his stamina better, but he&#039;s bad at pacing himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 2 (5):&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the bad habit of looking down on his opponents. Once he enters Devil Mode, his feeling of invincibility is a double edged sword that increases his weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3 (1.5):&#039;&#039;&#039; With an accurate stroke, he aims to finish his matches in record time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe&#039;s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; He can&#039;t become a first class player if he doesn&#039;t learn how to control his excitement. He has to learn how to control his emotions himself instead of relying on his seniors. Once he can do that, he will be able to realize his full potential.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;clear: both;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[One-footed Split Step]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Using this movement technique, Kirihara becomes one-and-a-half step faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Knuckle Serve]]===&lt;br /&gt;
A variation of a kick serve. Kirihara squeezes the ball with his knuckles to add additional spin on the toss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Speed Play]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirihara boasts that he will end matches in less than fifteen minutes. He focuses on quickly putting away points and games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Bloodshot Eyes]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When Kirihara becomes angry or excited during a match, his eyes become bloodshot. His speed and power start to increase, but he behaves more erratically and violently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Muga no Kyouchi]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Activates when Kirihara is completely driven into a corner. He plays unconsciously and uses moves based on his prior experiences. As a result, the opponent cannot predict which shot comes next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
If Kirihara&#039;s eyes are already bloodshot and he is provoked further, he enters Devil Mode. His speed and power increase even more at the expense of his technique. However, it has life-threatening effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Angel Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Can only be entered with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] as partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 31, translated by lucathia rykatu[https://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Through Shiraishi&#039;s control, Kirihara&#039;s mental decay is prevented.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri Vol. 6, pg 20, translated by Sai[https://mangahelpers.com/forum/members/sai.10576/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sane Devil Mode]]===&lt;br /&gt;
When provoked while in Angel Mode, Kirihara enters Devil Mode while retaining his sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Short Snake]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Curves stronger than the normal Snake, but covers less distance. It is used when both players are at the net and curves around the opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime Only Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Rising]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Upon his arrival at Rikkai, Kirihara is shown using Super Rising against [[Sanada Genichirou]]. It is a rising shot hit before the ball bounces to limit the time the opponent has to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Phantom Ball]]===&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[Atobe Keigo]], Kirihara hits a high-speed right-spin cross-court. Because lefties will naturally set up a backhand, the strange bounce will cause the ball to slip out of their field of vision as though it has disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Tennis Bag Contents==&lt;br /&gt;
; Portable Game Console with Fighting Game: For those who love fighting games. It is a necessity for going to and from school. Of course, it was confiscated by Sanada after the inspection.  &lt;br /&gt;
; Hair Gel: Styling gels and the like. This is naturally an indispensable item for Akaya, as he is a little worried about his hair moving around.&lt;br /&gt;
; Two ~ Three pens: A pen that fell to the bottom of the bag. He didn&#039;t use a pencil case but instead tied it up with a rubber band. There&#039;s even a pen without a cap.&lt;br /&gt;
; Bicycle Key: The poop-shaped key ring says MADE IN CHINA, which seems to be a native product that has been bought previously.&lt;br /&gt;
; Finger Ring Weights: Exercises the strength of fingers. After the match against [[Fuji Shuusuke]], in order to overcome the weakness of his grip strength, he always wears these on the fingers of his dominant hand. &lt;br /&gt;
; Answer sheet: The English exam at the end of the period. The failing grade was so terrible that it has to be retaken. &lt;br /&gt;
; Sanada&#039;s Calligraphy&lt;br /&gt;
; Trash&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Kirihara says that the thing that he has the hardest time with is Sanada. He seems to be constantly on the receiving end of discipline from Sanada and sometimes gets in trouble for things even if he was either not the person who did it or was not the only perpetrator. He sees Sanada as one of the three people he has to beat in order to become &amp;quot;Rikkai&#039;s Number One.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Krauser says the thing that he has the hardest time with is Kirihara. When he is questioned about it by [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]] and [[Echizen Ryouma]], he says that Kiriahra is a &amp;quot;terrifying&amp;quot; player on the court and that it took him off-guard to see how different he is off-court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis: Rising Beat&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krauser also doesn&#039;t completely understand why he is called &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot; by Kirihara (who just can&#039;t pronounce his name properly). Despite the language barrier, Kirihara continues to try to make friends with him.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Yanagi takes on the task of grooming Kirihara as a player and developing his Bloodshot and Devil Mode. He believes that Kirihara has become something that he can no longer control and that Kirihara cannot grow with Yanagi around, so he asks [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] to take over during the U-17 camp. Kirihara deeply respects Yanagi and is quick to thank him for his actions when the losers return to the camp.&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
: Shiraishi inherits the Kirihara problem from Yanagi and takes an approach with Kirihara on court to be complementary and supportive to prevent Devil Mode from coming out. Playing doubles with Shiraishi allows Kirihara to enter Angel Mode, a variation of Devil Mode where he keeps his sanity. Shiraishi complemented Kirihara&#039;s hair (a sticking point with others in the series) during the match, so Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* He still believes in Santa Claus.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He will be the next captain of [[Rikkai University Middle School]] following Yukimura.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara got his first name because because Konomi wanted to use the character &amp;quot;red&amp;quot; in his name. He considered other names such as Akasuke, Akato, and Akao, but settled on Akaya. The surname Kirihara came from one of his high school tennis club seniors, though it is written differently. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Devil Mode was inspired by the way babies&#039; entire bodies turn red when they cry. Konomi was trying to find a way to evolve from bloodshot eyes and that was what he came up with. He thinks he may have gone too far with Angel Mode and that it should be a considered a special technique that comes from pairing in doubles with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] who is gifted at giving praise.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* When asked what part of the character design he is fixated on, Konomi said he focuses most on Kirihara&#039;s &amp;quot;seaweed hair.&amp;quot; He feels he has not grasped the color balance of his hair and that the early drawings of his hairstyle were inconsistent.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi believes Kirihara&#039;s appeal is in his temper so in the future he wants to show him growing beyond Devil Mode and become more offensive.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Konomi stated that if he switched places with Kirihara for a day, he would quit [[Rikkai University Middle School]] and transfer to [[Shitenhouji Middle School]] because there are nice upperclassmen there. That, and let [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] know where his hair salon is located.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pair Puri Vol 6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Following his doubles match with [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]], Kirihara gives him the business card for his salon, Hair Salon Angel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rikkai dressed [[Urayama Shiita]] as Kirihara for the match against [[Kakinoki Middle School]], so [[Kuki Kiichi]] has a win against Kirihara, though he actually played Urayama.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Perfect Edition Volume 7&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* He calls [[Liliadent Krauser]] &amp;quot;Uza Uza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Kirihara is the first member of Rikkai to appear in the series. He fell asleep on the bus on the way to school and ended up at Seigaku&#039;s tennis practice. He intended to challenge [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] to a match, but instead just caused mayhem. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prince of Tennis Episode 49&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Questionnaire===&lt;br /&gt;
;When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What do you like to be called?&lt;br /&gt;
:Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Seaweed head? How about I crush you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;What was your Christmas present last year?&lt;br /&gt;
:Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn&#039;t get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?&lt;br /&gt;
: It has to be a video game after all. I&#039;d have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Words for the Two===&lt;br /&gt;
====Others about Name====&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though I went through the trouble of looking over your homework, don&#039;t doze off! If your grades drop, I&#039;m going to be hit by Sanada!&amp;quot; - [[Kuwahara Jackal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;It seems that you&#039;ve come to have control over your mental side as well. I&#039;ll take that as a report that you&#039;ve decreased how often you go into Red Eyes mode.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Both of you have some damn good daring eyes. If you&#039;re prepared to die, I can be your opponent.&amp;quot; - [[Akutsu Jin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;The fact that pure, angel wings would spring from your back was completely obvious to me!&amp;quot; - [[Atobe Keigo]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Devil Mode made me quake in my boots! ...Like an angel, Kirihara was enjoying himself...pfft.&amp;quot; - [[Amane Hikaru]] The play on words is Debiru/Bibiru and Tenshi/High Tension&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya-kun is truly impressive. He&#039;s the pride of this tennis school. We&#039;ll be cheering for him.&amp;quot; - Uchida&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara-kun, your eyes are completely red! If it&#039;s fine with you, please use my eye drops. It&#039;s effective with bloodshot eyes.&amp;quot; - [[Ootori Choutarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara and Shiraishi&#039;s doubles was beyond my imagination. They&#039;re making the flame in my soul burn stronger and stronger...&amp;quot; - [[Oni Juujirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;The frank battle spirit Kirihara Akaya possesses is something that transfers over to the spirit of our Okinawan martial arts.&amp;quot; -[[Kite Eishirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Viper? Seaweed? What, neither sounds yummy~! Eh? They&#039;re not food?&amp;quot; - [[Tooyama Kintarou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Thanks for the practice match. Heh, you weren&#039;t weak. I was just too strong!!&amp;quot; - [[Kuki Kiichi]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My name is not &amp;quot;Uza Uza&amp;quot;! I will soon &amp;quot;Kill You&amp;quot;! - [[Liliadent Krauser]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;If we were to combine Kirihara Akaya&#039;s two sets of data...it seems I need to analyze this more.&amp;quot; - [[Kurobe Yukio]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the ones to claim the championship.&amp;quot; - [[Zaizen Hikaru]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya! In this training camp, you&#039;re going to wake up together with me at 4 every morning! I&#039;m going to take this opportunity to fix your bad habit of oversleeping!&amp;quot; - [[Sanada Genichirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya-sempai is sometimes very scary, but he&#039;s super cool in a match~&amp;quot; - [[Urayama Shiita]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Oi, Kirihara! If you&#039;re a man, don&#039;t make such a fuss over one or two hairstyles! That&#039;s shameful!&amp;quot; - [[Shishido Ryou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, if it&#039;s you, you&#039;ll be able to lead Rikkai. Good luck. You&#039;ll return my 100 yen before graduation, won&#039;t you?&amp;quot; - [[Kuwahara Jackal]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I can&#039;t decide if I want to get a nice perm like Kirihara-kun&#039;s. What do you think?&amp;quot; - [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Heh, Kirihara likes shounen manga too~? If you brought any to the training camp, I want to see~!&amp;quot; - [[Akutagawa Jirou]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kaidou-kun, look, you need to smile more, smile more! Kirihara-kun, if you hit things like that, your luck will run out~!&amp;quot; - [[Sengoku Kiyosumi]] &lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Compared to the time at the Kantou tournament, Kirihara has grown in both strength and mind. You should be thankful to your upperclassmen.&amp;quot; - [[Tachibana Kippei]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Kirihara-kun should study English just a bit more. You&#039;ll be troubled once you become a pro.&amp;quot; - [[Chitose Senri]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;You&#039;re a fun guy to mess around with. Let me be straight, the one who came up with &amp;quot;seaweed head&amp;quot; was Yagyuu.&amp;quot; - [[Niou Masaharu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We played a match during the practice matches between middle and high schoolers. You were quite the second year. You make me look forward to the future.&amp;quot; - Nishiki&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I&#039;ve been wondering since our match. Your curly hair, can I touch it?&amp;quot; - [[Matsudaira Chikahiko]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Heeey, Akaya. I totally saw that you snuck in candy with you! Let me have some too.&amp;quot; - [[Marui Bunta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Even though you turned into a devil, you still managed to keep your senses...it seems that I somewhat underestimated you. Sorry, sorry.&amp;quot; - [[Miyako Shinobu]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;With his courteousness, Kaidou-kun leaves a favorable impression. It&#039;s something our Kirihara-kun should learn.&amp;quot; - [[Yagyuu Hiroshi]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;I, Yanagi Renji, am glad to have entrusted the representation of us at this training camp to you. I look forward to a rematch once you have reached the top.&amp;quot; - [[Yanagi Renji]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;To think you were evenly matched with that older brother of mine. But now, my older brother is super strong, so you better be prepared!&amp;quot; - [[Fuji Yuuta]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Akaya, you have truly become much stronger since the time we first had a match. I leave Rikkai&#039;s tennis club in your care.&amp;quot; - [[Yukimura Seiichi]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Name about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]] and [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Actually, my play against southpaws is perfect. Both of you should gather together, and I&#039;ll crush you....just kidding!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Shiraishi-san! Here’s a coupon for the salon I visit, I got it just for you! It’s my thanks for that day♪&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Detail the most important events the character is involved in throughout the story, including information from fan books, and how they fit together. Identify the character&#039;s initial motivation and how it changes over time. The information should be presented in roughly chronological order as long as this form does not impede the coherency of the text. If an event has a separate page (e.g. match pages), it is enough to link to that page and summarize the most relevant parts for the character&#039;s development rather than recounting everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use subheadings at your discretion.&lt;br /&gt;

===Biography===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Detail the most important events the character is involved in throughout the story, including information from fan books, and how they fit together. Identify the character&#039;s initial motivation and how it changes over time. The information should be presented in roughly chronological order as long as this form does not impede the coherency of the text. If an event has a separate page (e.g. match pages), it is enough to link to that page and summarize the most relevant parts for the character&#039;s development rather than recounting everything.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Cite your sources&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use subheadings at your discretion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Zaizen Hikaru&#039;&#039;&#039; (&amp;lt;ruby&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rb&amp;gt;財前 光&amp;lt;/rb&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;(&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rt&amp;gt;ざいぜんひかる&amp;lt;/rt&amp;gt;&amp;lt;rp&amp;gt;)&amp;lt;/rp&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ruby&amp;gt;) is a 2nd year student at [[Shitenhouji]]. He is known as the school&#039;s &amp;quot;genius,&amp;quot; but his tennis ability has yet to be featured in any official match.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
Something that sets Zaizen apart from the rest of the characters in terms of appearance is that he has multiple ear piercings - three in his left ear and two in his right. In the manga his earrings are all different colors (blue, yellow, black, green, red) and Kenya equates them to the Olympic rings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The New Prince of Tennis Fanbook 10.5, pg. 339&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the anime, however, they&#039;re shown to be all silver, and as a first year he is shown to only have a single earring in each ear.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The New Prince of Tennis Another Story II ~The Times We Shared&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His eyes are dark brown in the manga, but in the anime they are dark green. He wears two sweat bands on his left arm, one at his wrist, and one midway up his forearm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
In a school filled with a bunch of goofy people who pride themselves on their humor, Zaizen seems like the odd man out. He&#039;s calm and collected, and seems relatively unfazed by the chaos happening around him. He is quick to provide unwanted commentary, oftentimes of a disparaging nature (such as when he calls his teammates gross or calling [[Kawamura Takashi]] Seigaku&#039;s extra baggage). His tolerance level for goofing off is quite short, oftentimes falling back on his sharp tongue to indicate that he&#039;s done. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He&#039;s shown in the anime to be initially uncertain of his decision to attend Shitenhouji because he didn&#039;t believe that he was going to fit in with the others who were naturally loud and constantly making jokes. However, he&#039;s shown later on to at least somewhat take part in the shenanigans, taking pictures of others making fools out of themselves&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The New Prince of Tennis OVA vs Genius 10, Episode 1, &#039;&#039;Prelude to a Revolution&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and posting them to his blog, or like how he humored Shiraishi by taking a video of Kenya twirling his pen and editing the video to show more ridiculous spinning objects.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The New Prince of Tennis Another Story II ~The Times We Shared, Bonus Episode&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite how it may seem otherwise, he is respectful to the social dynamic between the school years, and it&#039;s evident in how he addresses his teammates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prior to the events of the main story===&lt;br /&gt;
There isn&#039;t anything known about Zaizen prior to the start of the main series; the majority of his canon has only happened in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===National Tournament===&lt;br /&gt;
Shitenhouji met Seigaku in the semi-finals of the National Tournament. Zaizen was originally supposed to play with Kenya against the [[Tezuka Kunimitsu]]/[[Inui Sadaharu]] pair, but in the last minute Kenya was replaced by Chitose so that he could play Tezuka instead. Despite the match supposedly being doubles, it turns into a singles match between Tezuka and Chitose. Inui advises Zaizen that this match was out of their league. Unsatisfied with this conclusion, Zaizen attempts a poach shot that ends up easily being returned, and he begrudgingly stays out of the rest of the match except for the necessary serves and serve returns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===U-17 Training Camp===&lt;br /&gt;
Initially Zaizen rejects the offer to attend the U-17 training camp because he thinks it sounds like too much work. He ultimately decides to attend when [[Hitouji Yuuji]] explains that he wished to see [[Konjiki Koharu]] and they join the losers before they go to the mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the losers return to the training camp, he ends up sharing room 205 with [[Kirihara Akaya]], [[Hiyoshi Wakashi]], and [[Kaidou Kaoru]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Anime only arcs==&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Born! Captain Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] episode, Zaizen is recruited to the tennis team by his teammates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]] and Kenya are talking on the rooftop during the opening ceremony of the new school year. When the headmaster makes his terrible joke, the entire school erupts into laughter; yet, Shiraishi notices that there is one first year who continues to scowl. He finds it odd, but doesn&#039;t think anything further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watanabe advises the tennis club that per a rule in their school handbook, a club cannot continue activities unless they have an entering first year in their midst. He then goes on to explain that there is only one first year who had yet to choose a club: Zaizen. Shiraishi notes that this was the first year who didn&#039;t laugh at the headmaster&#039;s joke and wonders how they&#039;re going to recruit someone who doesn&#039;t seem to fit their mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Numerous members of the team attempt to recruit Zaizen by making him laugh. Each and every time they&#039;re rejected, as Zaizen either side steps them or just blatantly ignores them. Ultimately he agrees to attend tennis practice once [[Koishikawa Kenjirou]] asks him if he would consider it, stating that all they needed to do was ask, much to the surprise of the other team members looking on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he goes to practice with the rest of the team, Konjiki and Hitouji begin to show him the basic way to hold a racquet, and he listens attentively for a moment before he expertly twirls the racquet around his hand. Once they realize that he actually displays some tennis ability, they decide that he will play a match with Shiraishi and Kenya with Koishikawa as his partner. It becomes immediately evident that Zaizen is actually a solid tennis player, ultimately returning all shots to them and taking control of the match easily. Zaizen calls Shiraishi&#039;s tennis nothing but textbook tennis. Realization dawns on Shiraishi and he realizes that he has been trying to fit his teammates into a pretty little package in the form of a book called &amp;quot;tennis,&amp;quot; whereas he should have been letting them be the best at their strengths. He then uses his [[Entaku Shot]] for the first time and startles Zaizen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zaizen expresses that he is not well suited to becoming a member of Shitenhouji due to the fact that he was a serious person by nature who didn&#039;t laugh at the same jokes as they did. He explains it as a dissonance. Shiraishi encourages him and tells him that it doesn&#039;t matter whether or not he was the straight man or the funny man, that what was important is that he was true to himself. Zaizen is later shown to become a member of the team and is given a kokeshi doll as a gift from Watanabe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Playstyle==&lt;br /&gt;
At this time he doesn&#039;t have a set play style dictated by the manga because other than his limited participation in the match with Chitose against the Tezuka/Inui pair, he has not been shown playing. The only known information is that he&#039;s an All-Rounder and that the team refer to him as their genius similar to Seigaku&#039;s [[Fuji Shuusuke]] and [[Hyoutei]]&#039;s [[Oshitari Yuushi]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several points in the anime where he is shown playing and he displays the ability to quickly analyze a play, predict where the ball is going to land, and get behind it to return it easily. The best example of this is in the anime-only match against Shiraishi/Kenya when Zaizen gets behind every ball that Kenya returns, despite the fact that Kenya plays a skilled game of speed tennis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Team Shuffle Information&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Golden age 32&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Speed - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; You won’t see him desperately chasing after a ball - he’ll catch up to it instead. He has about that level of speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Power - 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Whether it’s that he can’t concentrate specifically on power training or something else, when compared to the others it’s unfavorable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Stamina - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; He has the physical ability to not let his cool expression break even while climbing steep obstacles. His task will be to train without becoming so easily bothered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Mental - 4:&#039;&#039;&#039; His calm composure mimics that of his low body temperature. He maintains a steady state of mind and his heart isn’t easily swayed. He has the mental capabilities suitable of an athlete.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Technique - 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; If you were to use one word, it would be “Genius.” He’ll absorb anything and then make it his own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kurobe’s Memo:&#039;&#039;&#039; At first he didn’t come to the training camp, and he’s one of those “genius” sorts who is lacking the eagerness to do well. It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t possess that sort of ambition. If he were to acquire the appetite and heart like that of a hungry wolf, he would surely improve by leaps and bounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===[[Move Page|Zaizen Wonderful]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Although no specific special move has been confirmed in any sort of official capacity, [[Konomi]] teased on Twitter in 2015 that he has been thinking of names including the aforementioned Zaizen Wonderful (財前ワンダホー), Zaizen Vault (財前木馬, lit. Zaizen vaulting horse), and Temari Zaizen (手鞠財前, lit. Zaizen&#039;s handball game). Zaizen Wonderful even became a trending topic in the Japanese fandom.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/konomi_takeshi/status/620215611658932224?lang=ja&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During the Happy Summer Valentine Ranking Event announcement in 2017, this was referenced again by Zaizen himself when he asked Konomi to let him have a match, and that he&#039;d be happy even if it was just showing off Zaizen Wonderful.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
; Oshitari Kenya&lt;br /&gt;
: Although they have not been seen in an official match together, it&#039;s presumed that they&#039;re doubles partners as they were scheduled to play together during Nationals. They are often pictured together in media, and they have a duet together. Zaizen appears to humor Kenya and is the straight man to Kenya&#039;s funny man act.&lt;br /&gt;
; Konjiki Koharu &amp;amp; Hitouji Yuuji&lt;br /&gt;
: Zaizen often speaks rudely to the both of them, but it&#039;s clear that he cares for them deeply. He is seen to be with them quite a bit and Hitouji even calls him by his first name. Konjiki actively and regularly flirts with Zaizen, which is usually when he is most likely to use his sharp words.&lt;br /&gt;
; Shiraishi Kuranosuke&lt;br /&gt;
: It appears that Zaizen holds a deep respect for Shiraishi, though he is not above poking fun at his captain like the others. In the anime, he allows Shiraishi to realize that there are ways to allow your teammates to develop their individual skills without compromising fundamentals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* While it&#039;s not stated specifically as the reason why he chose library committee, he mentions that you can borrow DVD&#039;s from Shitenhouji&#039;s library.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri vol. 3&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Zaizen comments on Shiraishi&#039;s bag contents with, &amp;quot;The contents are too maniacal... What&#039;s with poisonous plants? Senpai, that&#039;s too dangerous.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Zaizen&#039;s favorite type is a homebody, family-oriented girl. In Pair Puri vol. 8, he stated, &amp;quot;Someone who will look after the house properly would be cool. It’d also be good if they cook well.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://fanbook.livejournal.com/44344.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Attended the same elementary school as [[Tooyama Kintarou]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In Tenipuri Festa 2016, during [[Tenipuri☆Paradise]], each voice actor has a solo line in which they state they sing &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Character Name&#039;&#039; Paradise,&amp;quot; and then reference either a special move or another relevant comment about the character. Araki sings, &amp;quot;Zaizen Paradise, Temari Zaizen.&amp;quot; Although none of Zaizen&#039;s special moves have been confirmed by Konomi, this is one of many references to the potential naming convention.&lt;br /&gt;
* He comments in English on a website for an international band.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ranked 12th in the Happy Summer Valentine event.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ranked 9th in the &amp;quot;Who Would Look Best in a Suit?&amp;quot; ranking.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pair Puri vol. 8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Words for the Two===&lt;br /&gt;
====Zaizen about others====&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Kirihara Akaya]]: &amp;quot;Even though they&#039;re the same year as me, they&#039;re so childish. Whatever, next year Shitenhouji will be the ones to claim the championship.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* About [[Shiraishi Kuranosuke]]: &amp;quot;Shiraishi-buchou, really, give me a break with all the endless talk about poisonous plants when we&#039;re eating.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Get Sparks]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Katte ni Shiten Festa]] &#039;&#039;feat. [[Shitenhouji All Stars]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Naniwa no Soran Bushi]] &#039;&#039;feat. [[Shitenhouji All Stars]]&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Winning Shot]] &#039;&#039;feat. Oshitari Kenya&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Well, can&#039;t be helped.&amp;quot; (まーしゃーないスわ)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Senpai, you&#039;re gross.&amp;quot; (先輩らキモイっすわ)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My turn? You should&#039;ve said it sooner.&amp;quot; (俺の出番？そういうのは早よ言うてくださいよ, Rising Beat, SSR card quote)&lt;br /&gt;
