Yanagi Renji (
Appearance
Personality
Yanagi has a tendency to finish off other people's thoughts and sentences due to the data he has collected on them.
History
Prior to the events of the main story
Yanagi attended a tennis school when he was young.[1] He met Mitsuya Akuto on his way home one day, who taught him Data Tennis.[2] He later teamed up with and taught Inui Data Tennis at the same tennis school, where the two were considered one of the leading doubles teams in the junior tennis world.[1] Realizing that they had never played a game against each other, the two decide to play a best-of-one set. The game reaches 5-3 in Yanagi's favour before they are kicked off the court by their coach.[3] While running away, Inui promises Yanagi to continue the match at an upcoming tennis tournament they were scheduled to play in. Yanagi never showed up for the tournament because he moved away. It would be exactly 4 years, 2 months and 15 days before he and Inui met in the court once again.[4]

Camp Revolution
Yanagi, along with the other losers, returns to the camp as the "Black Jersey Brigade" and begins to occupy the 2nd Court.
When the Top 20 All Japan Junior Representatives return from their foreign expedition, the camp announces the 20 members of the second string chosen for further strength training. Yanagi was not among those selected. The Nos. 11-20 representatives are given free reign to play around and most of them easily wipe out the selected second stringers. Yanagi observes the matches alongside Inui and then faces off against the No. 17 representative, who turns out to be his Data Tennis mentor, Mitsuya.[5] He greets his opponent, calling him "Akuto-niisan", which surprises Inui. Mitsuya promises to give up his No. 17 representative position to Yanagi if he can defeat him in a game.[6]
In the middle of the match, Yanagi fails to return a returnable shot, stating that he can see the outcome of the match and that he has a 0% probability of winning.[7] He gives up on trying to play the game against Mitsuya, realizing that he can never win against the person who taught him Data Tennis. Inui shouts at him to not give up and to remember their match at the Kantou Tournament. Yanagi then decides to throw all of his data away in order to complete the match, but collapses from exhaustion in the process. Mitsuya chides him for being reckless and that Yanagi had "died" when he tossed away his Data Tennis.[8] Inui then steps in for Yanagi and completes the game against Mitsuya, revealing that Yanagi had been sending him data the entire time. Though Inui won the match, the No. 17 badge went to Yanagi, as it was his data collection that allowed Inui to defeat Mitsuya.
Yanagi is then seen with the other middle schoolers who have defeated the Nos. 11-19 representatives. The group returns to the main courts, where the Genius 10 and the other middle schoolers are waiting for them. He is carried in by Inui, as he had not yet recovered his strength.[9]
Genius 10 Challenge
Yanagi is seen alongside the other middle schoolers, but provides commentary and play-by-play analysis of the matches instead of actively playing in any of them.[10] When Mifuune Nyudou returns to the camp and announces that the U-17 World Cup is allowing each nation to send forward a team consisting of middle school representatives, Yanagi is not among the 14 selected.[11] Despite this, he joins the medical team along with Mitsuya and Inui and accompanies them to the U-17 World Cup.[12]
U-17 World Cup
Prior to the U-17 World Cup
In Coach Mifuune's competition between the middle and high schoolers to see who can pick up more women at the beach, Yanagi is seen alongside Inui, serving various Inui Juices to the Japan U-17 team. They are introduced as Mitsuya's assistants.[13]
Pre-World Cup Exhibition Match vs. Germany
After the draw to determine the exhibition matches, Yanagi and Inui show up to the rest of the middle schoolers, carrying data and intel on the German U-17 Team.[14] Once again, he is seen providing commentary on the matches from the sideline.[15]
Group Stage
Yanagi does not actively participate in the group stages of the tournament.
Round of 16 vs. Aramenoma
He is selected to replace Ishida Gin as one of the middle school representatives after injuries sustained by Ishida during the group stages render him unable to compete.[16] Due to the enigmatic nature of the country, Yanagi and Inui are unable to collect data on them. The U-17 Aramenoma team forfeit the match against Japan after they were defeated by Echizen Ryouma and Tooyama Kintarou the day before, allowing Japan to advance to the quarterfinals.[17]
Quarterfinals vs. France
Before the quarterfinal match against France, Yanagi runs into Mouri Jusaburou, the latter of whom asks about Yukimura's condition, claiming that he was worried about his junior. This causes Yanagi to lash out against him, saying that he will never understand the pain and struggles Yukimura went through and that he would never forgive him for what happened.[18]
Yanagi ends up playing in the Doubles 1 match against France's Edgard Delacroix and Jonathan St. Georges with Mouri as his partner.[19] The first set starts off well for Japan and they lead 5-0, but Yanagi opts to play by himself rather than utilize Mouri's skills to their advantage.[18] Before the start of the sixth game in the first set, Yanagi sees the same sports drink on the bench that Yukimura found while he was going through rehabilitation, making him realize that the "Sports Drink Fairy" was Mouri all along.[20] The two reconcile before the game resumes with Mouri asking Yanagi to control him in order to allow his data tennis to shine the brightest. France mount a comeback and steal the first set from Japan when Delacroix reveals his Art Tennis.
Going into the second set, Mouri falls asleep in order to allow Yanagi to collect his data in his "deep sleep" zone-like state. This also prevents St. Georges from collecting his data as well.[21] Yanagi is surprised to see Mouri in this state, but continues to collect data on him in order to defeat France. Believing that Yanagi was collecting data on his doubles partner, Delacroix uses his Art Tennis on St. Georges, "painting" him a different personality in order to disrupt Yanagi's analysis. He wins the second set 7-5 after Mouri wakes up and allows Yanagi to use his skills as he sees fit.
Before the start of the last set, Mouri tells Yanagi to stop thinking of himself as one Rikkai's "Big 3" and aim for the top spot instead. France begin by taking the advantage, going up 5-0 with Yanagi playing passively in order to complete his data on Delacroix and St. Georges. He realizes that, while St. Georges' personality changes, his physical self remains the same and, is therefore, predictable.[22] Delacroix chides him for believing that St. Georges was not collecting his data the entire time, but Yanagi counters by saying that he does not let anyone collect his data that easily. Yanagi and Mouri turn the set around and end up winning, claiming the victory for Japan. He carries Mouri back to the benches, where Yukimura awaits them with a cold sports drink for Mouri.
Semifinals vs. Germany
Before the match, Yanagi is seen with Inui, the latter of whom is giving Yukimura three years' worth of data books on Tezuka. He is surprised to see his friend give up all of his data, but Inui states that he does not need it anymore and that he wishes to collect data beyond what Tezuka is capable of showing.[23]
Yanagi is then seen cheering on Yukimura as he faces off against Tezuka. He and Sanada both watch as Yukimura makes amends for what happened at the Nationals by projecting the image of Echizen onto Tezuka in order to overcome his trauma from Teni Muhou no Kiwami.
