Minami Kentarou (南健太郎, Kana) is a 3rd year student and captain of the tennis club at Yamabuki. He is one half of the Nationally ranked doubles team nicknamed the "Jimis" (derivative of "地味," lit. plain) so called due to their plain appearance, names, and personalities. He is usually overlooked as the captain of Yamabuki, most often others mistake Sengoku Kiyosumi as holding the position.
Appearance
As his nickname would suggest, Minami is a fairly plain looking person. His most notable feature is his spiked hair which is brown in the anime, black in the manga and games that utilize the manga style.
Personality
Minami is considerate and confident in his abilities as a doubles player. He enjoys a bit of friendly ribbing when he meets up with Ooishi Shuuichirou in their third year, having played one another at the Prefectural tournament in the previous year. His leadership style is the "Trustworthy type" who becomes so closely bonded to the rest of the team that his position in the Club is irrelevant since everything is a team effort[1]. He becomes frustrated with others when they forget, or just don't know, that he is captain.
History
Prior to the events of the main story
Describe character history here.
Under 17 Camp
Minami was set to play Echizen Ryouma in the initial tie-break matches to determine who would stay in the winner's camp, however Echizen wandered off to find Tokugawa Kazuya and forfeit the match for not participating.
Anime only arcs
Continuing with the Sengoku example, you would put descriptions of his foray into boxing and his rematch with Momoshiro in this section rather than "history." This should also briefly recap differences in important matches.
Play Style
Minami is a doubles specialist who has worked together with his partner to master hand signals strategy. He notably can hit a straight shot from a short cross shot. His strategy is to target one member of a doubles pair and break down the combination, pulling the team out of sync.
