While he's become known as one of the school's best doubles players with Yagyuu, he's just as formidable in singles. What really sets him apart is his signature technique: he can almost completely copy an opponent's playing style and techniques, essentially making it feel like they're facing someone else entirely. It's not flawless (some moves are beyond him, and his own body has physical limits), but he often copies Yagyuu on the court specifically to mess with opponents' heads. He's also got the guts to be the only player who'll actually push back against Sanada's orders—something most people wouldn't dare do. Beyond copying, he can read plays up to ten moves ahead, making him deceptively strategic for someone known primarily as a trickster player. His all-rounder style keeps opponents guessing.
