Personal view:Finally it’s Ryoma-sama turn^_^ He is not only my most favorite character in this series but also my crush of all time.How I wish he is real…v.v But now let’s not being biased,I supposed to talk about him just the way I talk about the rest of the characters in the series.He is a freshman in Seigaku who amazed everyone with his tennis talent especially when he became a regular after defeating two regulars in Seigaku tennis team. He is the son of Nanjiro Echizen also known as Samurai Nanjiro who was a professional player before.Although Ryoma actually is a left-handed,he usually played with his right hand to attack his right-handed opponent with his twist serve.He won the American Jr. tournament four times in a row at the age of 12.However,Tezuka his captain has noticed that all his techniques are a copy of his father’s and thus helped him to find his true tennis style.Although he is very talented in tennis and known as a prodigy,he is also a very cocky person and usually provokes his opponent at the start of a match making him to be equally dislike by his opponent.His obsession in tennis is shown in the series as he beats his opponents as he is evolving and developing his own tennis style.He is also a librarian in his school and he is good in the English subject since he used to stay in America.He didn’t really has a close friend due to his attitude of always doing things at his own pace and often seem not to care about others.However,this is not entirely true.Although Ryoma is seen as someone who didn’t care about others, he actually do care about the people around him in his own way.For example when Kachirou,one of the freshmen trio is showing protest towards Arai-senpai who was happy when Tezuka left the team to treat his injured arm.Ryoma also tried to find Momoshiro at the street tennis court when Momoshiro didn’t come to the club activities after being dropped from the regulars.Why I like him?I like everything about this chibi(kid)^_^ His cocky attitude,his provocation towards his opponent and his determination to beat his opponent with his own skills and also the fact that he is so blur when it comes to girls!=))Ryoma-sama,mada mada dane!
