Shiraishi Kuranosuke (白石蔵ノ介, Shiraishi Kuranosuke) is a 3rd year student and captain of the tennis club at Shitenhouji. He is known for his calm disposition and his absolute mastery of the fundamentals of tennis. His signature Bible Tennis style has earned him the nickname of "Shitenhouji's Bible."
Appearance
Shiraishi has brown eyes and medium length blonde hair. In the manga, his hair varies from white to silver to ash blonde, but in the anime as well as the wig used for Tenimyu his hair is ash blonde. In Doki Doki Survival for the 3DS, his hair is light brown.
He wears a bandage over his left hand covering from his fingers up to his elbow. Under the bandage is a golden gauntlet that is used for training his arm by adding extra weight to his swings.
In official art, he is always dressed stylishly and maturely for his age. He usually is seen wearing suit jackets, cardigans, or sweaters over t-shirts.
Personality
Shiraishi is known for being the generally friendly, calm, and collected captain of Shitenhouji who has perfected the fundamentals of tennis. He initially believes that practicing the fundamentals is the key to growing Shitenhouji to a nationally competitive team, but Zaizen Hikaru joins the team in Shiraishi's second year and shows him dissonance is their strength. Shiraishi then encourages the team to practice their individual tennis styles to become stronger. He also is the first to admit that his own tennis style is "boring."
In the match with Fuji Shuuusuke, he shows that he is able to calmly assess his opponent and easily returns the triple counters once he pauses to think strategically about the shots. He grows frustrated with Fuji not showing the strength that could match Tezuka. He expresses his extreme disappointment with Fuji to goad him into playing at his full strength. He did this before in his second year when playing doubles with Oshitari Kenya against Tachibana Kippei and Chitose Senri (anime only). His calm exterior does not break in the match with Fuji, even as Fuji brings the match to match point. It is only on the very last shot that Shiraishi shows he may have been caught wrong-footed.
He is able to keep Tooyama Kintarou in line by threatening him with his "poison hand," claiming that is what is under the bandages on his arm. Yanagi Renji takes this to mean that Shiraishi could also help manage Kirihara Akaya when Yanagi leaves the U-17 camp. Shiraishi displays in his doubles match with Kirihara that he is able to help him overcome Devil Mode and unlock a new ability Angel Mode by keeping him calm throughout the match. When Kirihara attempts to attack their opponent with his racquet, Shiraishi physically puts himself between Kirihara and their opponents in a last ditch effort to keep him in line.
Despite the fact that he seems like the "cool" type, Shiraishi is a not-so-deeply closeted nerd. One of his hobbies is cataloging poisonous plants, he is shown to "return to basics" not just with tennis, but with comedy (and it falls flat), he keeps a pet beetle named Gabriel who he brings with him to U-17 and speaks to as though Gabriel is his whole world, and just like the rest of Shitenhouji he is an incurable clown. In the Another Story OVA, he is seen jumping through the school gate as he enters the school, just to collide with the overhead archway.
History
Prior to the events of the main story
Describe character history here.[1] This should cover all of the events of the manga.
Use subheadings
You should also link to match pages (templates coming soon) when applicable. It's enough to say here like "Sengoku lost to Kamio" while linking to the relevant match page instead of going into more detail.
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.
