Akaya Kirihara (切原赤也)
Rikkaidai Fuzoku Chuu 2nd Year Class: 2-D #6 Birthday: September 25 Height: 168 cm Weight: 61 kg Blood type: O Dominant Hand: Right Play Style: Aggressive Baseliner Shoes: DT PRINCE (DYNOSPHERE Technology) Racket: PRO STAFF 5.5 PRINCE STRETCH Special Move: Knuckle Serve, Speed Play, Phantom Ball, Red-eye Mode, Devil Mode, Angel Mode Favorite food: roasted meat, sushi He is the youngest and only second year student in the Rikkai Dai line-up, thus earning him the title "Second Year Ace" (sometimes known as "Junior Ace"). He joined Rikkai because he heard the school had a very strong tennis team and wanted to be Japan's number one, but his hopes were quickly crushed by Rikkai's Three Monsters (Yukimura, Sanada, and Renji.) When Kirihara is under hard pressure or his pride is being injured, he becomes extremely furious and 'devilish', as depicted with blood red eyes. He then unleashes a brutal assault on the opponent's body. He uses this technique on Tachibana and later on Fuji Shūsuke. However, this technique is completely ineffective against Kirihara's vice-captain, Sanada Genichirō, because of Sanada's incredible reflexes; Sanada himself says that if Kirihara trained for ten more years, perhaps he would have a chance against him.
