Name: Tachibana Kippei
School year: Three
Position: Captain, regular
Special moves: ? (Yet to be known)
Plays against:
Shishido, Akaya
Basic information:
Tachibana is a very mature senior, respected by all, and who is determined to lead Fudoumine to victory, even if he has to start everything from scratch. Unlike most other schools, Fudoumine is unseeded and its name has barely been heard of. That is because Fudoumine had never got the chance to show itself due to an incident in the previous year, where Tachibana beat up the coach for humiliating his fellow tennis members. It took them a year to get ready, and together they formally asked the school for permission to recreate a new tennis club. Leading this newborn team is Tachibana, who though strives his best for victory, cares for his team mates more than anything and places them at the top of his priorities. His skills are also known to be on a national level.

Name: Ibu Shinji
School year: Two
Position: Regular
Special moves: Kick serve, Spot
Plays against:
Ryouma, Muromachi, Momoshiro & Kamio
Basic information:
Though Ibu looks cool and has never really smiled, he is not really the cold type of character. He is simply just one who does not have a wide variation of face expressions, which includes smiles and laughs. However, he does have one incurable habit - mumbling too much. He often mumbles excessively, which sometimes just bores the hell out of Ryouma. ^_^" According to Ann, he is also on the same level as Fuji in terms of tennis sense.

Name: Kamio Akira
School year: Two
Position: Regular
Special moves: Rhythm (super speed), Sonic bullet
Plays against:
Kaidou, Sengoku, Ryouma & Ibu
Basic information:
Kamio is one of the fastest characters in the story, and is sometimes called a Speed Demon (He is so fast he doesn't seem to need his bicycle!). Before matches, he often listens to music to keep his rhythm up mentally, which also acts as warming up. He also likes Ann, and gets jealous pretty easily, especially with Momoshiro. He seems to be good friends with Ibu.

Name: Ishida Tetsu
School year: Two
Position: Regular
Special moves: Hadoukyuu
Plays against:
Kawamura & Fuji
Basic information:
Ishida is the first to show us all what Hadoukyuu is - a move that brings out 120% of one's strength. However, because it acts as a double-edged sword and can be harmful to himself, he is told not to ever use it unless Tachibana permits him to. Like everyone else in the team, Ishida respects Tachibana as much as no one does.

She also gets along well with everyone in Seigaku, especially Momoshiro.
