Biography

Prince of Tennis

Krauser was in the foreign exchange student unit at Nagoya Seitoku. His team played through the National tournament with their regular lineup, and switched to the foreigners in the fourth round, against Rikkai, hoping that their skills would be enough to beat them. During his match with Kirihara Akaya, he beats and crucifies him up until the very last point he needed to win. Kirihara awakens Devil Mode and attacks Krauser back, ending in a loss for Krauser and later, his team.

New Prince of Tennis

After Nationals, the other foreign exchange students prepare to leave for their home countries, but Krauser makes the decision to stay in Japan because he feels that he has things to do in the country that he lost to, since he thought they're under-developed in tennis. He gets invited to the U-17 camp, and is the only one from his school to attend. In the first match, he teams up with Richard Sakata, but before the match, Krauser gets tripped and laughed at by Sakata. Krauser crucifies Sakata and wins the match, letting Krauser stay at the camp with the winners. At the camp, Krauser enters the 5th court and participates in the team shuffle match against the 3rd court. He plays a singles match against Nakagauchi Sotomichi. During the match, Nakagauchi repeatedly and consistently hits each ball to the corners to have Krauser run back and forth across the court to tire him out, while Krauser hits many hopping balls that go out and hits the fence. His hopping balls are actually a setup for his opponent's gravepost so he can use Haritsuku Gomen. Once it's ready, Krauser uses Southern Cross to hit Nakagauchi back into the fence and crucify him, however to his surprise, Nakagauchi recovers quickly and continues to play. Krauser uses the cord balls to initiate two more Southern Crosses, the first one hitting him back into the fence and the second hitting him over and out the fence, finally dealing a good amount of damage. However, Krauser is too exhausted by this point and passes out, deeming him unable to play and gets disqualified, losing the match. His team ends up winning the shuffle match, so he successfully enters the 3rd court. At the world cup, he is seen supporting the representatives with the rest of Rikkaidai.

Relationships

Kirihara Akaya

Krauser states that he has a hard time with Kirihara, but that later gets changed in the 23.5 fanbook. Although their first interaction was violently injuring the other during Nationals, sometime during Krauser's match against Nakagauchi, Kirihara cheers for him and they both start warming up to each other. Krauser still feels nervous around him, and when confronted by Yagyuu about it, he reveals it's because he's very different on and off the court. Krauser once told Kirihara he'll kill him, and scolds him for nicknaming him "Uza Uza" (which can also mean "annoying guy"), but is still kind to him when helping Kirihara when he gets lost, and when Krauser agrees to play card games with him (then teases his poor English by pretending not to know Japanese). When Kirihara suspects that Krauser might be feeling lonely at the U-17 camp without his team, he offers for Krauser to call him "Senpai".

Yagyuu Hiroshi

Yagyuu is one of the few people Krauser can talk to in English. Yagyuu occasionally enjoys a cup of tea with him and helps him with learning Japanese and Japanese culture. Yagyuu, along with Ooishi Shuuichirou, helps Krauser study classical Japanese. Krauser says that Yagyuu is kind to him. Yagyuu even invited him to Rikkai's tennis practice when Krauser revealed his nervousness around Kirihara, as a way for them to get to know each other better.

Ryouma Echizen

Ryouma is Krauser's roommate at the U-17 dorms. Krauser says that he's surprisingly good friends with him. They're both friendly with each other and have conversations in English. They both have a background in America, and are able to relate to each other that way.

Amane Hikaru

Krauser is a huge fan of Amane's puns, and often bursts into laughter and praises them. Amane isn't sure how to react because he isn't used to this reaction to his puns. Amane says he wants to try making puns in English to make Krauser cheer up and laugh more because he notices that Krauser is lonely at the camp. Krauser calls Amane his mentor.
