Name: Aoi Kentarou
School year: One
Position: Captain, regular
Special moves: ---
Plays against:
Ryouma
Basic information:
As unique as Rokkaku is, Aoi is by far the one and only freshman captain of any school. As Saeki explained, being a captain or vice-captain does not really matter in Rokkaku at all, but the fact that Aoi has the skills stays. Aoi may not have distinct special moves, but he is to everyone's surprise the first person to be able to return Ryouma's Drive B. In terms of personality, Aoi is cheerful and optimistic, although his voice can be a little too loud. ^_^" He is always excited to see Ryouma but Ryouma does not really seem to care, and usually finds his voice annoying instead. Like most of the rest in Rokkaku, he has been playing in Oji's playground since young and that is where he first learnt tennis. His tennis racket is given to him by Oji and has hexagonal strings.

Name: Amane Davide
School year:
Position: Regular
Special moves: ---
Plays against:
Kawamura & Momoshiro
Basic information:
Also known as the Hyoutei Hyakuningiri, Davide looks cool and flashy, but behind all that lies a silly boy who does not know when to stop making cold jokes. Thus like Tomoka said, he would have been a very cool guy if only he shuts his mouth. (Haha!!) However, this does not imply that he is talkative. In fact, he does not speak much other than when he cracks his jokes and during his doubles match with Bane. His hair is always waxed with super strong gel to prevent them from getting messy. If it does gets messy and that he has to tie his hair up, it means he is getting serious. One other unique fact about him is the racket that he uses, which like every regular's in Rokkaku, custom made of wood but is as long as 73.66cm (29"). As a result he has a very long reach, and Davide is still capable of returning strong serves with ease.

Name: Kurobane (Nickname: Bane-chan)
School year:
Position: Regular
Special moves: ---
Plays against:
Kawamura & Momoshiro
Basic information:
Bane-chan, as the future Rokkaku-regulars-to-be kids call him, seems to be close friends with Davide and is seen around together almost all the time. While most of the rest usually do not bother, Bane finds Davide's jokes stupid and will kick him without hesitation whenever Davide tries starting his jokes. Like most of the Rokkaku peeps, Bane does not have any special moves but is capable of hitting pretty strong serves, which resulted in quite a power battle against his doubles opponents Kawamura and Momoshirou.

Name: Kojirou Saeki (Nickname: Sae-chan)
School year: Three
Position: Vice-captain, regular
Special moves: ---
Plays against:
Kikumaru & Fuji
Basic information:
Saeki is Fuji's childhood friend who used to play against him but lost. He is not the type to hold a grudge for losing, but nevertheless has always wanted to try defeating Fuji. Teaming with Itsuki, he played in Doubles 1 against Kikumaru and Fuji. Saeki is good at seeting motion, which includes movement timing and muscle movement. He made use of this ability to predict Kikumaru's move, and kept his strategy of attacking only Kikumaru.

Name: Itsuki (Nickname: Itt-chan)
School year:
Position: Regular
Special moves: Sinker
Plays against:
Kikumaru & Fuji
Basic information:
Itsuki is a very sweet and nice guy who has a habit of blowing air from his nose and asking people "Why?" non-stop. He really means nothing bad but his personal habits did kind of annoy Kikumaru the first time he kept bugging him while playing in Oji's playground. Teaming up with Itsuki was part of Saeki's plan of defeating Fuji. Reason is, Itsuki is able to hit a spinless ball, known as the Sinker, which seals Fuji's Tsubame Gaeshi. He is also good at noticing objects near the ground, thus being the only one in his doubles team to be able to pick and return Fuji's incomplete Tsubame Gaeshi.

Name:
School year:
Position: Regular
Special moves: ---
Plays against: ---
Basic information:
This guy is one of Rokkaku's regulars who did not get to play in the match against Seigaku and rarely appears in the story. He is probably supposed to play either Singles 1 or 2.
(Please pardon me for forgetting his name.)

Name: Oji
Position: Coach
Basic information:
Oji loves woodworking and has been doing it since ages. Eventually he started making wooden tennis rackets (he made everyone in Rokkaku their own custom racket based on their personalities), and even made a playground in the neighborhood open to public for children to play in. He is very friendly and may look like he's out-in-the-clouds sometimes. Though seemingly very weak physically, he is nevetheless Rokkaku's coach. The way he decides the team's captain and vice-captain is also very random, and mainly without reason.
