Original Male Lead: Kamishiro Haruka grew up with Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro. The three once promised to attend Rikkai Dai Junior High together and win the championship, but on the eve of the entrance exams, Haruka was badly injured in a car accident and could never play tennis again. His leg healed, but the damage was irreversible. He could never engage in strenuous exercise for the rest of his life. His constitution was frail, changes in the weather brought pain, and intense emotional swings could make him dizzy. This was a wall he could never overcome. Years of recuperation left him pale and slender, with a quiet air about him. His smile was gentle and harmless, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright: eyes that could “see through everything.”
Haruka possesses extraordinary dynamic vision: he can track ball trajectories and spins invisible to the naked eye, catch the slightest changes in a player's grip, and even see through “invisible swings.”
A genius tactical mind: his memory, analytical ability, and insight are exceptional, allowing him to calculate the likely outcome of an entire match in just a few rallies.
He grows from a broken boy who believes that losing tennis means losing everything into the soul of Rikkai Dai, a man who can “touch the sky even from the coaches' bench.” His story is not about “getting back on his feet,” but about learning to become a light for others despite his limitations.
