Mukahi Gakuto
Appearance
Mukahi is small and jumpy. He is very short and light; his stature is commented on a few times, such as by Momoshiro Takeshi ep 53, usually when performing acrobatic maneuvers. He is the third shortest middle schooler in the manga, only taller than first years Kintarou Tooyama and Ryouma Echizen. In the manga his eyes are brown, in the anime they are dark blue. He has very distinctive dark red hair styled in a blunt angled bob with symmetrical angled bangs.

Biography
Mukahi first appears with the rest of the Hyoutei regulars of the time at the street courts, seemingly to taunt Momoshiro. Momoshiro challenges the Hyoutei players and Mukahi responds that he and Oshitari Yuushi would only play doubles. Echizen Ryouma arrives, a potential doubles partner, and the Hyoutei members escalate their vague insults. Having provoked Momoshiro, Mukahi leaps into a backflip over him and lands behind him, showing off his acrobatic ability. Mukahi challenges Momoshiro and Echizen to an informal match, but the challenge is declined.
Mukahi was introduced as a foil to acrobatic tennis player Kikumaru Eiji. In their doubles match as opponents (Mukahi/Oshitari vs. Kikumaru/Momoshiro) all observers note that Mukahi's acrobatics are superior, likely due to his smaller size and ludicrous jump height. However, his arrogance and low stamina prove to be his downfall. He jumps too much and loses his energy, eventually unable to play. Ultimately he and Oshitari lose.

Tennis
Play Style
|
Mukahi's play involves a lot of jumping, which allows for shots at rare angles and overwhelms his opponents. His Acrobatic Tennis also allows him make seemingly impossible returns, as he can get to almost anywhere in the air. The Moonsault is his greatest weapon, a seemingly impossible backflip return from high in the air that hits the court straight down and is very rarely returned. He is shown to have surprising strength for his size when he is able to return a Dunk Smash from mid air.
He is best suited for short matches. His frequent use of high jumps and acrobatic maneuvers drains his stamina faster than the average player, and long matches have proven to be his weakness for both of his matches in the series. Because of the airborne nature of his play, Mukahi is best suited for doubles. His singles ability is held back because of the time he spends in the air– in doubles, his partner can return a shot while he is still trying to land, but in singles, he can't necessarily make it back to the ground and in place in enough time.
