Name: Wakashi Hiyoshi
School year: Two
Position: Regular (Reserve)
Special moves: Enbutenshu
Plays against: Ryouma
Basic information:
According to Inui, Hiyoshi is all of these: an aggresive baseliner, calm and collected, will sway easily
and is slightly sensitive. From the words of other characters, he is the future star of Hyoutei who will
one day replace Atobe's place as captain. He was originally a reserve player in the prefecturals but due
to a 2 wins 2 losses and 1 draw match, Hiyoshi comes in in the 4th singles match that will decide which
the winning school will be.
However, despite all the compliments people gave him, his match against Ryouma was quite a huge letdown,
and he has never made a second appearance since then.
Name: Sakaki
Position: Coach
Basic information:
Sakaki is straightforwardly a strict coach who gave Hyoutei the policy of dropping regulars off once
they lose an official match. However, there was just one exception with Shishido, whom he allowed to
retain his place as a regular even after losing an official match once. Even so, he agreed only after
Choutarou and even Atobe pleaded for him to give Shishido a chance.
