Character Description: Shinji Ibu
Shinji, who is an expert at ball control, normally plays singles two or doubles with his best friend Akira. He also invented the move 'Spot', an alternation of topspin and slice shots that causes a player's arm to be temporarily paralyzed due to the strain put on the muscles. First known victim was Echizen Ryoma in the Prefectural Tournament, and Hikaru Amane in the Junior Senbatsu Training Camp whom he targeted due to his long racket while in doubles partner with Oshitari while Shinji plays with Shinjou Reiji. Longer racket means DOUBLE the strain and used it to his advantage.
He is often underestimated due to his poker-face appearance and due to the fact he is 'only' a second year (by Shinjou). A running gag is that he rambles a lot, and NEVER knowing everyone hears him. This COULD get him in trouble one day!
