The Prince of Tennis is a long-running sports manga series, and has spawned an anime, live-action movie, video games, and over a dozen musicals. What's it about? Well, "boys playing tennis".Okay, but seriously, folks... the story's about this kid named Ryoma Echizen, a pre-teen tennis prodigy who transfers to Seishun Academy (nicknamed "Seigaku" by everyone, a portmanteau of Seishun Gakuen), a school renowned for its rich tennis tradition. In the intra-school ranking tournament, he beats some of the best players in the school and secures himself a spot on the team's starting lineup. From then on, the series follows the Seigaku tennis club's progress towards the middle-school National Championship, facing a new rival team in each new story arc. The characters develop their own styles of play (complete with increasingly bizarre and complex shots). Even the sometimes hard-to-approach Echizen eventually learns what the sport means to him as time goes on.The manga, written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999 to 2008, with a total of 42 volumes and over 40 million copies of said volumes sold in Japan alone. It was later adapted to an anime, which aired on TV Tokyo from 2001 to 2005 for seven seasons. The sequel, Shin Prince of Tennis, began in 2009 in Jump Square and also has numerous anime adaptations.A Live-Action Adaptation Movie was also made, as well as two live action TV dramas. Two animated movies have also been released in cinemas: The Two Samurai: The First Game, co-released with short movie A Gift from Atobe (2005) and The Battle of the British City (2011). A 3D film, Ryoma! Rebirth Movie The Prince of Tennis, covers the 3-month time period in between the original manga and Shin, to be released in 2021. Funimation announced in April 2021 that it has licensed the majority of the anime installments with a new English dub to come in the future.Also! The character sheet has been added. PLEASE, if you've got new tropes for the characters of the series, add them there.Also, there is the Musical Series page, so you can add tropes related to the stage plays and actors. | |

Fangirl: Tomoka Osakada and Sakuno Ryuzaki in Seigaku, An Tachibana in Fudomine. Subverted with Kotoha Kitazono from Tsubakikawa: she pretended to be a fangirl to spy on Echizen and Atobe, but they weren't fooled and either ignored her, or called her out on it. | |

Canon Foreigner: The American Team and other minor characters in the anime. Subverted with Jousei Shounan. In the manga, Seigaku beats Midoriyama Gakuen instead, while the anime made Jousei Shounan take their place instead. The team members, however, are anime originals, since they never appeared in the manga. Their coach Hanamura Aoi is stated to be the team coach in the manga, despite not appearing herself there. | |

| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Parodied at the beginning. Ryoma didn't even know he was rescuing Sakuno from Sasabe: He's a Heavy Sleeper who, right then, only wanted his nap back. His parents play it straight: Their relationship starts as Love at First Punch, only developing some more and going into Slap-Slap-Kiss when Nanjirou rescues Rinko from her abusive coach. Averted with An and either Momo or Kamio. The guys rescue her from having to date Atobe, but there's no Relationship Upgrade with any of them. | |

All According to Plan | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_167bd2ca | comment |
The plan goes smoothly until Marui decides he isn't going to take the betrayal lying down and prevents every ball from reaching Kite. When a ball does get past him though, it looks like everything's over — only for Kite to return the ball, hitting Kimijima in the face (instead of his own partner), thus ending their earlier agreement. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: There are at least a few characters that designated for defeats. The Golden Pair is touted as one of the best doubles pairs in the series, but has had some critical losses against more determined opponents. The Fudomine team starts out as one of Seigaku's first formidable rivals in series (and an underdog to boot), but loses to Rikkaidai and Shitenhouji when things get rolling. | |

All There in the Manual: Some of the most interesting, funny, and quirky data bits on the characters are in the fanbooks, especially the 40.5 one, which are later exploited in official anime material or Houkago no Oujisama, such as Ryoma wanting a Nintendo DS, or Kirihara Akaya still believing in old St. Nick. | |

Rikkai Dai's resident trickster, Masaharu Niou. He doesn't limit himself to copying other player's techniques or playstyle — he even imitates their mannerisms and demeanor, to the point he causes the illusion of being the mimicked player when rivals look at him. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: The Seigaku and Fudomine tennis teams become friends after their match. The Rokkaku tennis team sort of counts as well, except they become friends with Seigaku before ever playing against them. It certainly helps that their vice-captain, Saeki, is Fuji's Forgotten Childhood Friend. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: With each arc, the new team that's introduced is always perceived to be a bigger challenge than the last. Shitenhouji, for example, is introduced by having them wipe the floor with Fudoumine. Word of God enforces this, stating that Gin and Kenya were created specifically to be more powerful than Tetsu and even quicker than Kamio. And then there's the sequel series, where some of the high schoolers outclass the middle schoolers by far. One of them plays — almost literally — like he's from another dimension. | |

Sengoku's Gratuitous English use is actually interesting. While he often says "lucky", he also uses minor phrases like "thank you". His pronunciation is slightly better than most others in the series, but he still claims that he is no good at English. | |

I Am Not Left-Handed | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_56c55ed8 | comment |
I Am Not Left-Handed: Ryoma sometimes uses his left hand to play, when in fact he can use both. In this case it's I am not right-handed; Ryoma's a lefty who can play with either hand. For some reason, it's a common trait for the players to be left-handed. Still, the opposing characters always have the same "Gasp!! He's left handed!!" reaction. Almost half of the cast is left handed, while approximately one quarter of the real-life population is, and some of them happen to be the best players besides Ryoma, such as Tezuka, Shiraishi, Chitose, Niou, Saeki, Zaizen, Fuji Yuuta, Mukahi Gakuto, Kite and Kai. While some have to be ambidextrous to a certain degree, in order to hit their backhand properly. Similarly to Ryoma, Kai from Higa Chuu actually has one of these moments; up to a certain point of the game, he uses his right hand. Then he changes not only to his left, but also with a reversed "stabbing" grip! | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Each installment of Tenimyu does a great job of condensing an entire arc of the manga into a two hour musical. The OVAs have been praised by lots of fans for re-telling situations from the manga in quite a better light and portraying some characters more sympathetically. A clear example is the resolution of the Atobe vs. Ryoma match in the Nationals, where Ryoma's borderline Jerkass-ish behavior is quite toned down and Atobe even gets to cut his hair himself. | |

Against the Setting Sun | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_5e122e51 | comment |
Against the Setting Sun: Oishi and Eiji, Chitose and Shiraishi. Also Ryoma and Tezuka, who always end up playing by the sunset, or staring at each other in the beach volleyball episode. Even Ryoma and Sakuno get one in the anime, walking home as the sun sets. The setting for Fuji and Kite's Back-to-Back Badasses moment in the 2011 movie. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Yuudai Yamato, Seigaku's ex-Captain: He looks and acts like a Cloud Cuckoo Lander, but has a razor-sharp intuition and can give you really good advice if you're willing to listen to him. Eiji Kikumaru acts child-like and happy, but has an extremely sharp vision that not even Ryoma can keep with AND scaringly good reflexes, on top of his flexibility and high jumps. | |

Game-Breaking Injury | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_6381b11 | comment |
Game-Breaking Injury: Tezuka, Tachibana and Oishi are victims of this Trope while Kirihara is a proud user. Also, Chitose, in his backstory. Who gets one of these from Tachibana and almost loses sight in one of his eyes. Subverted when Shuusuke sustains a concussion while playing against Kirihara, causing him to be stricken with temporary blindness. He plays BETTER! | |

Serious Business: Who knew the world of Japanese middle-school tennis was so competitive? Taken to even more serious extremes in the sequel, New Prince of Tennis, where the strongest of the strongest players use what is called "Inter-Dimensional Tennis," a surreal, unexplainable style of play which revolves around shots that can literally shatter walls, summoning illusionary creatures such as pirate demons, creating black holes, and using an infinite number of tennis balls. And all this in a series where, at one time, the most dangerous thing to worry about was a kid who can take away your five senses. | |

Fake Band | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_6d7bc0f | comment |
Fake Band: In Meta-example. The anime has released several singles, which also served as Openings and Endings of "Aozu" (Ryoma, Tezuka, Fuji and Oishi) and "Cap-to-Bin" (Momoshiro, Kaidoh, Eiji, Kawamura and Inui), all performed by the seiyuus singing in character. This is also depicted and played with in the special MV of Birthday ~Aruki Hajimeta hi~ and Rock 54!? ~Rock na Hito wo Sagashitemiyou~, where Tezuka returns and the nine of them form a big Boy Band, where they play up an entire story around it: with Ryuzaki-sensei as their manager, Tomoka and Sakuno as their groupies, the Ichinen Trio as staff members, rehearsals, tours, fangirls, a big concert and the prominent rivals joining them playing instruments along with Seigaku. The trend continues to date, with several singles from the seiyuus singing in character and a lot of ensembles. Some notable examples are "Pull Tab to Can" (Atobe, Sanada, Sengoku, Kamio, Ibu, Kirihara and Oshitari, which can be considered canon in the anime, since they did a number during the Talent show in the Senbatsu Training Camp filler), "Megane" (or "Glasses": Tezuka, Inui and Oshitari), "Ikemen Samurai" (or "Handsome Samurais": Ryoma, Tezuka, Atobe, Yukimura, Sanada, Kite and Shiraishi), and so on... | |

But Not Too Foreign: Jackal is half-Brazilian, half-Japanese. Makes some sense as Brazil does have a rather large Japanese colony. Atobe is hinted to be of mixed descent. It's more noticeable in the manga, as coloured pages depict him with blond hair and blue eyes while almost everyone else has brown, black or grey eyes. | |

Many characters frequently use English phrases as well. Some have named their tennis moves in English, e.g., "Moon Volley," "Laser Beam," and "Speed Bullet." Others use them regularly. For instance, Kawamura's BUUUUUUURNIIIING, BABYYYY!!!, and Sengoku's "Lucky." | |

Screen-to-Stage Adaptation | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_99244825 | comment |
Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: The first installment of Tenimyu back in 2003 was the first of a ridiculously popular series of musical adaptations of the manga. Each consecutive musical focuses on the matches against each of the rival teams that Seigaku faces, and is surprisingly faithful to the original story. To date, Tenimyu has had over a dozen different installments, several Dream Lives (concerts that are outside the sequence of the story), and has helped launch the careers of a plethora of Japanese pop-culture idols. | |

Ditto Fighter | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_a1e69878 | comment |
Ditto Fighter: In spades. For the Hyoutei team, Kabaji's playstyle is the Dittomediate variant, by default simply mirroring the moves of whoever he is playing against. For the Jousei Shonan team (in the anime), Hiroshi Wakato appears to be a Tsungxpert variation, but it's later subverted when it's revealed he just copied known pro players from an early age until he perfected their moves through years of practice (and later he proves unable to mimic Kaido's Boomerang Snake). Rikkai Dai's resident trickster, Masaharu Niou. He doesn't limit himself to copying other player's techniques or playstyle — he even imitates their mannerisms and demeanor, to the point he causes the illusion of being the mimicked player when rivals look at him. Many other players, such as Oshitari or Atobe, are talented and skilled enough to copy other players' techniques, although it's not the usual thing to do for them. Oshitari did imitate Fuji's Higuma Otoshi and used it against Fuji himself just to screw with him (but it ultimately backfired on Oshitari). Yagyuu and Kaidoh imitated each other while playing together as a doubles team, with interesting results — they tried to mimic each other's signature technique, only to come up with new, original moves in the process. Ultimately, anyone who achieves the Muga no Kyochi ("State of Self-Actualization") can become this, instantly imitating any technique seen, perfectly, although this is more of Power Copying and less of being a Ditto Fighter per se. | |

Canon Discontinuity: Earlier in the series, when the Emerald Pair first forms, Inui tells Kaidoh that his Data Tennis started out in his first year of middle school as trying to get more info about Tezuka in order to beat him. But, later on, it turns out that his friend from elementary, Yanagi, was the one who taught him Data Tennis. | |

Recycled Premise | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_a6fa41b | comment |
Recycled Premise: For all the Mini-arc competitions, as they have the basic structure (competition with a Gargle Blaster made by Inui, Ryoma is among the final survivors and most of them end up taking the penal-tea) with some differences: The first one was the training chapter, where most of the regulars drank an Inui juice and most of them passed out (with only Fuji and Tezuka surviving it). Then we got the Bowling Tournament, where everyone who failed would take a zip of Aozu (wich makes Fuji faint) and the losing team would drink an entire jug. In the anime-only, the same happens, but with billiards. The only difference is that Fuji survives because he wanted revenge for the Aozu. In the Beach-Volley Tournament, it happens again. The only difference is that Rokkaku joins the game. Then we have the Yakiniku eating contest, where the table with the most eaters would win. Differences: There are four schools participating (Seigaku, Shitenhouji, Higa and Hyoutei). And theeeen New Prince of Tennis gives us a "Pick-Up Girls competition", where the High schoolers and the Middle schoolers would compete to see wich group can flirt successfully. Each loser would have to eat onigiris made by Inui, Renji and Akuto. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Nanjirou, who looks like a perverted, lazy monk with a stubble... until you ask him for a tennis match, where you can see that despite being retired for more than a decade, he's STILL a badass tennis player. Mikiya Banda aka Banji from Yamabuki, who under his always smiling face, has a razor-sharp mind and admirable wits which STILL make Ryuzaki and Nanjirou mad after 25 years and have helped him outsmart Akutsu to make him join the team without getting a punch to the face. | |

The two then race to see who's the fastest, forgetting the purse-napper in the process. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Power of Trust | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_b6064061 | comment |
Power of Trust: Zig-Zagged in a doubles match in The New Prince of Tennis. Marui is betrayed by Kite during their doubles match against Kimijima and Tohno, turning the match into a 3-on-1 situation. Then, it's revealed that the betrayal is a ruse set up at the suggestion of Kimijima to create an opening for Kite to put Tohno out of commission by attacking his right knee when the chance presents itself. Confused yet? The plan goes smoothly until Marui decides he isn't going to take the betrayal lying down and prevents every ball from reaching Kite. When a ball does get past him though, it looks like everything's over — only for Kite to return the ball, hitting Kimijima in the face (instead of his own partner), thus ending their earlier agreement. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: Common amongst many characters. Atobe's signature move is to knock the racquet out of other players' hands with the ball and have it return to him for a smash.

| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: Played with. With the exception of Sanada from Rikkaidai, the captains and/or sub-captains rarely are the tallest in their teams. In fact, Kevin is both the shortest player and the captain of the American team. Only partially. Akazawa of St. Rudolph is actually the tallest on his team, and still their captain. Though, when that is said, it's Mizuki who is their de facto leader. Yamabuki and Fudomine also has questionable heights on their respective captains. The main reason for this is probably those large power players every team so conveniently happens to have at least one of. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: The series starts off within plausibility, with real life moves like the Twist Serve, Buggy Whip, and Jackknife. Towards the end it moves straight into fantasy land with auras, Improbable Aiming Skills, teleportation, sense-dampening, and other moves with no physical explanation. The anime takes even less time getting into fantasy. Instead of returning to normality, The New Prince of Tennis series wastes no time on physical limits with X-ray vision, ball-duplication, and other-dimensional shots. | |

Wax On, Wax Off | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_ce6a1069 | comment |
Wax On, Wax Off: In The New Prince of Tennis, Mifune sends Tanishi, Kenya, and Ryoma on a "special mission" to get more sake for him, which Kenya twice lampshades as being completely irrelevant to tennis. Despite this, he later reflects that navigating the cave and maneuvering through the laser tripwires during the errand actually helped improve his terrible balance. | |

Deadly Upgrade | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_cf41a26 | comment |
Deadly Upgrade: Kawamura and the Ishida's Hadoukyuu, the Zero-Shiki Drop Shot, and Yuuta's Twist Spin Shot. Ryoma and all the other middle schoolers learning how to rally 5+ at once in The New Prince of Tennis. Byodoin's Deadly Upgrade after losing to Oni sent many players around the world into retirement. Ryoma's upgrades from N Po T are 'monstrous. He ends up learning the Shining Shot from his brother, cue a double-page spread with fallen trees and craters all over the surrounding area. And then, he's learning how to rally FIFTEEN balls with ease, in addition to mastering inter-dimensional tennis. | |

| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: Parodied with the methods devised by Ryuuzaki-sensei and Inui; the training itself is normal, but if one or more of the players fail to accomplish it, they're forced to drink revulsive concoctions prepared by Inui as punishment. These "juices" are so infamous that the whole Seigaku team (except for Fuji, but then again he's got *interesting* tastes) is terrified of failure because of them. | |

The trend continues to date, with several singles from the seiyuus singing in character and a lot of ensembles. Some notable examples are "Pull Tab to Can" (Atobe, Sanada, Sengoku, Kamio, Ibu, Kirihara and Oshitari, which can be considered canon in the anime, since they did a number during the Talent show in the Senbatsu Training Camp filler), "Megane" (or "Glasses": Tezuka, Inui and Oshitari), "Ikemen Samurai" (or "Handsome Samurais": Ryoma, Tezuka, Atobe, Yukimura, Sanada, Kite and Shiraishi), and so on... | |

Gasp! | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_e54227fc | comment |
For some reason, it's a common trait for the players to be left-handed. Still, the opposing characters always have the same "Gasp!! He's left handed!!" reaction. Almost half of the cast is left handed, while approximately one quarter of the real-life population is, and some of them happen to be the best players besides Ryoma, such as Tezuka, Shiraishi, Chitose, Niou, Saeki, Zaizen, Fuji Yuuta, Mukahi Gakuto, Kite and Kai. While some have to be ambidextrous to a certain degree, in order to hit their backhand properly. | |

Victory by Endurance | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_f962d8a3 | comment |
Victory by Endurance: The bout between Kaoru vs. Ryoma. Kaoru's tennis style is to force his opponent to run from one side of the court to the other, making them too tired to return his volleys. Ryoma turns this around on him by forcing him to keep his knees bent during the whole game, using up twice as much endurance, instead. Kaidou himself often wins matches by outlasting his opponents, specially when playing doubles with Inui; he often plays the opponent pair on his own, while Inui collects data on them. One notable example of this strategy achieving victory was against Hyoutei's Mukahi & Hiyoshi team in the Nationals. A favorite tactic of Atobe. His match with Tezuka ends up in a 37–35 point tiebreak (tiebreaks usually are to 7 points), and his match with Ryoma later in the series goes to 117–119. This tactic gets reversed on him by Irie in Shin Prince of Tennis, where their tiebreak goes to 187–187. | |

Team Mom | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_fb9e25e9 | comment |
Team Mom: Again, Oishi. You don't get the "Mother of Seigaku" nickname in canon for anything, don't you? And he's not the only one: Jackal Kuwahara from Rikkaidai is also Team Mom for his team, having to frequently take care of Kirihara. Also, Ryuuzaki-sensei sometimes acted like a surrogate mother for her pupils. The heroine from one of the Dating Sim stated that Saeki is more of a Team Dad while the Team Mom title goes for Itsuki. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: See what happens when either Sakuno, Miyuki, or An are threatened by bullies. Downplayed by Ryoma in the anime, when he almost hits a Libby from Jousei Shonan and her Girl Posse with tennis balls for throwing Sakuno to the ground and threatening Tomoka when she stood up for her. | |

Canon Immigrant | |

Canon Immigrant: Ryoga Echizen, originally created for the film, makes his canon debut later on The New Prince of Tennis manga. His background story is retconned to be Ryoma's older half-brother. | |

Master of Disguise | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_fd7267dd | comment |
Master of Disguise: Hiroshi Yagyuu and Masaharu Niou. More the former than the latter, though (unexpectedly, since Niou is known as a trickster, but it's later revealed to be something Yagyuu does with at least one other character). During Niou's match against Fuji during the Nationals arc, it is shown that his ability to impersonate others far exceeds those of any other copy player in the series, including Yagyuu. The OVA "Another Story" also shows that he can impersonate his team members perfectly, and independent of anyone else. | |

My Kung-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_fdb3fcce | comment |
My Kung-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours: A lot of the characters, what with this being a sports series. Seigaku is often seen training, specially Kaidou, Momo and Kawamura. Fuji secretly develops his fourth and final counter when he realizes his "Triple Counter" won't be strong enough to win at Nationals. Hyoutei's Shishido's initial story arc was all about training to become stronger after being humiliated in a match against Fudomine's Tachibana. Atobe develops Koori no Sekai after Hyoutei's loss at the regional tournament. | |

The Idiot from Osaka | |
| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_ff191f42 | comment |
The Idiot from Osaka: Kintarou (who's naive and seems to have problems when reading kanji, as well as having a very... *special* imagination), parodied/subverted by Hitouji and Konjiki (who play up the dumb stereotype to their advantage in the courts). Hilarity Ensues when they try it with Momoshiro and Kaidou. | |

| The Prince of Tennis (Manga) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Kalpin, Echizen's cat, serves to humanize Echizen as he's shown to genuinely care for the animal. Kaidou, who's got the In-Universe nickname "The Viper", is the one who finds Kalpin when it wanders off and can be seen playing with it. | |
