Hiyoshi Wakashi (日吉若(ひよしわかし)) is a 2nd year student at Hyoutei Academy Middle School. He is to be the future team captain after the third years’ graduation.[5] He is from a martial arts family which lends to his tennis style, ‘Enbu Tennis’. He is most famous for his favorite word, "Gekokujou".

Appearance

Hiyoshi is a somewhat sullen-looking character. His hair is frequently described as mushroom-like. He does not smile often, and when he does, it is usually more of a smirk and accompanied with a "Gekokujou". In the manga, his hair is light brown and he has brown eyes. In the anime, his eyes are grey and his hair is a little darker, an orange-brown.

Hiyoshi wears glasses at home, but he does not like them, so he wears contacts in public.

Personality

Hiyoshi is very ambitious. He has had a very traditional upbringing, living in a dojo. He is neat and organized, described by his roommate Zaizen Hikaru at U-17 that he seems "high strung".[6] Although he speaks politely, he is a bit of a snob. He is not shy to tell people he will gekokujou them.

Hiyoshi is able to keep calm in intense situations and think methodically, as seen in his matches.

He has shown an interest in the supernatural and UFOs.

History

Prior to the events of the main story

Hiyoshi attended Hyoutei's Elementary Division with his friend Ootori Choutarou, as seen in Another Story OVA. After witnessing newcomer Atobe Keigo's defeat of Hyoutei's entire tennis club, he vows to join the tennis club when he is in middle school and gekokujou Atobe.

In his first year, Hiyoshi played in the Newcomers Tournament against Kirihara Akaya.

Kantou Tournament

Hiyoshi before his match against Echizen

Hiyoshi is first introduced during the Kantou Tournament - Hyoutei Arc, at the end of Atobe vs. Tezuka. He is Hyoutei's reserve player who is to play against Echizen Ryouma. Upon his name being called, many members remark that no other team would have a reserve player on par with Hiyoshi, implying he is very skilled. Mukahi says to Hiyoshi that he should be okay, "because it's you." Yanagi Renji points out that Hiyoshi played a match the year before in the Newcomer's Tournament against Kirihara Akaya and did well against him. When Kirihara pretends not to remember, Sanada Genichirou doesn't believe him and states that Hiyoshi is sure to be Hyoutei's captain next year.[7]

Hiyoshi's name is first mentioned by Sakaki, naming him as the one who will replace Taki Haginosuke after his defeat by Shishido Ryou. However, Hiyoshi is not shown at all during the teams' battle until his own match, in neither the manga nor the original anime. Although, in Best Games!! (2019), he is shown watching the match before his with the rest of his team.

Hiyoshi is seen watching other teams' matches with his teammates throughout the rest of the Kantou tournament.

Anime Only

When Hyoutei joins Seigaku at their mountain training camp, Hiyoshi plays a match against Inui.

Nationals

Hiyoshi reappears with Hyoutei at Nationals, where he plays doubles 2 with Mukahi Gakuto against Inui Sadaharu and Kaidou Kaoru.

Anime Only

The day before Hyoutei vs. Seigaku at Nationals, Mukahi and Hiyoshi meet up to plan their strategy. They bicker mildly before Hiyoshi asks why they are meeting up at an amusement park, surrounded by people on dates. Embarrassed, Mukahi exclaims that it was Hiyoshi's idea to meet up there. They unite with the rest of their team that evening at the courts where they suffered defeat at the Kantou Tournament, in their first match against Seigaku.

U-17 Training Camp

Hiyoshi is invited to the camp with the other Hyoutei regulars. In the U-17 Pair Matches, he faces Atobe, who treats it as preparation for Hiyoshi's captaincy. Hiyoshi loses and is sent to the mountain with the other losers, only to return with a black jersey.

Speed: The way he carries his feet when moving uses Enbu as a base can give birth to a speed that transcends tennis theory.

Power: From his appearance he’s the thin type, but all the martial arts training has given him a tough core, which allows for moderately large power.

Stamina: Due to his unconventional playstyle, he tends to consume a lot of physical energy. The biggest task he must overcome is endurance matches.

Technique: His peculiar imagination and unique form allows him to create ever-changing techniques.[11]


Kurobe's Memo:

"I think it's fine if the goals you need to reach are personal ones. Right now, rather than thinking about the team as a whole, it's more important to hone your individual skills. Since martial arts-based tennis is unusual and a style I don't have many samples of, I'm looking forward to how you'll develop."[12]
