Hiyoshi Wakashi (
Appearance
Mushroom. Sullen.
Personality
Hiyoshi is very ambitious. He has had a very traditional upbringing, living in a dojo.
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'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 Prince of Tennis
Hiyoshi is first introduced at the end of Atobe vs. Tezuka. He is Hyoutei's reserve player who is to play against Echizen. 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.[6]
Hiyoshi's name is first mentioned by Sakaki, naming him as the one who will replace Taki after his defeat by Shishido. However, he is not shown at all until he is introduced after Atobe vs. Tezuka, in both the manga and the original anime. But in Best Games!!, he is shown watching the matches with the rest of his team in.
Hiyoshi is seen watching other teams' matches with his team throughout the rest of the Kantou tournament. He reappears with Hyoutei at Nationals, where he plays doubles 2 with Mukahi Gakuto against Inui Sadaharu and Kaidou Kaoru.
Anime only arcs
When Hyoutei joins Seigaku at their mountain training camp, Hiyoshi plays a match against Inui.
The day before Nationals Hyoutei vs. Seigaku, 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.

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."[7]
