Oshitari Yuushi (忍足侑士(おしたりゆうし)) is a 3rd year student at Hyoutei Academy Middle School and a regular on Hyoutei's tennis team. He is introduced as Hyoutei's genius (tensai) with unknown and untapped potential, comparable to Seigaku’s resident genius, Fuji Shuusuke. Although friendly, Oshitari has the ability to close off his mind/heart so nobody truly knows what he's thinking. Oshitari Yuushi ("Oshitari") is originally from Osaka, the source of his iconic Kansai dialect/accent. His cousin Oshitari Kenya ("Kenya") lives there and attends Shitenhouji Middle School.

Appearance

Oshitari has dark blue, long layered hair, fashioned in what also known as a mullet. He wears round frame glasses without a prescription, and he is fairly tall. In the manga his eyes are brown, but in the anime they are a dark purple/blue color. He is usually seen wearing his uniform jersey and polo zipped/buttoned all the way up. He plays with a wristband on his right wrist and his racket is dark green in the anime.

Personality

Best known for his glasses, his host club voice, and his love for romance, Oshitari is both genius and rascal. He frequently comments on the situations he's present for, as the voice of reason (assuming a tsukkomi[4] role.)

History

2 Years Before Prince of Tennis

Oshitari moved to Tokyo at the beginning of middle school, entering Hyoutei Academy Middle School as a first year. He is late for his first day of school due to taking the wrong train, and complains on the phone to his cousin Oshitari Kenya that he's having a bad time in the city so far. It is then he notices a commotion in the tennis club, and he follows to check out the chaos.

He observes as Atobe Keigo defeats the entire Hyoutei tennis club, then sees him defeat Shishido Ryou and Mukahi Gakuto. Oshitari then walks onto the court and introduces himself, offering to play a match against Atobe, despite being in his school uniform. He and Atobe play a long, close match. Although ultimately Oshitari loses, Atobe deems him a worthy opponent. Oshitari remarks that Atobe is flashy. He calls Kenya once again and says perhaps Tokyo won't be so bad.

Some time before Prince of Tennis

Oshitari sets out to solve what could make Akutagawa Jirou motivated to stay awake at practice. He drags Mukahi with him after school one day to Kanagawa, where they are following Akutagawa. Despite Oshitari's efforts, he and Mukahi are not subtle at all in their spying. They witness Akutagawa's enthusiasm at the idea of playing another match against Marui Bunta and return to Hyoutei with intel.

Anime specific events

Relationships

Oshitari Kenya
Oshitari's cousin who lives in Osaka and attends Shitenhouji. They are close enough that they talk on the phone every few days. They are seen being combative toward each other in Prince of After School and in fanbooks, but they appear to have a good relationship underneath their bickering.
Mukahi Gakuto
Oshitari's best friend at Hyoutei and doubles partner. They became friends early in their first year of middle school, first talking on top of the water tower at school. Oshitari is initially resistant to Mukahi's friendship, until Mukahi remarks about wanting to reach higher heights, which apparently interested Oshitari[12]. In addition, Mukahi runs away from home to Oshitari's house when getting in fights with his dad.[3] They are often seen together in Prince of After School, fillers/movies, and across various fanbooks. Mukahi knows many of Oshitari's secrets, such as that he names all of his glasses, although he doesn't necessarily keep these secrets well.[13]
Atobe Keigo
Atobe and Oshitari first met when Atobe took over the tennis club in their first year of middle school. Oshitari was the only one present who was able to be of significant challenge to Atobe[14]. They have a respect for each other and one another's skill. They are in frequent communication, as Oshitari is very invested in Hyoutei tennis club matters. Although Hyoutei has no vice captain, Oshitari sometimes falls into place as Atobe's right hand man.
Momoshiro Takeshi
Oshitari has played Momoshiro in two official matches, both in the Kantou Tournament in doubles 2 and in singles 3 at the National Tournament. During Nationals, he remarks that Momoshiro has brought his passion out of him, making his hands shake with excitement. Oshitari's teammates express how strange it is to see Oshitari play with so much passion. In New Prince of Tennis, Oshitari saves Momoshiro from Aramenoma's chant.

Tennis

Play Style

Oshitari is known as "The Man of 1000 Techniques". Among these techniques are the Higuma Otoshi, his acronym moves, and frequent drop shots. He has the ability to close off his heart and mind, becoming completely unreadable to even mental assassin Ochi Tsukimitsu. Those who read their opponent will have no luck in a match against Oshitari, who likes to read his opponents as well. His style is not spontaneous, but calculated and planned. As his doubles partner Mukahi Gakuto noted during their match against Kikumaru and Momoshiro, "It's not like [Yuushi] to get serious during a match."ep. 55

Stats

Oshitari Yuushi
Yuushi Stats.png
Speed 3
Power 3
Stamina 3
Mental 4
Technique 5

Speed: He doesn’t let his opponent predict him. To be able to have a play style that betrays the opponent’s prediction requires a degree of leg strength.

Power: A hit from his tall stature is surprisingly strong. However, he’s not good at power matches and covers with his technique.

Stamina: Since he’s slender you might think he lacks physical strength, but he surprisingly has stamina. He’s not bad at endurance matches.

Mental: A favourable evaluation is that he has a poker face and calm judgment that doesn’t allow opponent’s to read his expressions. He also sometimes gets fired up.

Technique: The fact that he can easily do any technique he thinks of is due to his genius abilities.


Kurobe's Memo:

He has shown his hidden fighting spirit before, but I wish he could keep his poker face while playing. Oshitari’s strong point is not allowing his opponent to read his moves, after all.[15]
