Kuranosuke Shiraishi

About Shiraishi, Kuranosuke

Shitenhouji Middle School: 3rd Year – Class 2 – Seat 14 Hand: left Birth date: April 14 Shiraishi is the captain of Shitenhouji and best known for his "Perfect Tennis"—a playstyle so polished that he earned the nickname "The Bible of Shitenhouji." His reputation is honestly kind of legendary; he was playing singles 1 as a second-year, and his team gave repeat champion Rikkai their closest match of the entire tournament that year in the semi-finals. His main signature technique is an unnamed spinning shot that rotates like a ring as it travels toward his opponent. Beyond that, he doesn't really rely on flashy special moves—he just plays smart, all-around tennis. The mystery around Shiraishi is mostly self-imposed. After Shitenhouji got swept at the previous Nationals tournament with him locked into singles 1 but never actually playing, he became even more of an enigma. And honestly, his whole philosophy is kind of contradictory: he believes perfect tennis is actually kind of boring and pointless, but after that loss, he realized that none of that matters. Winning is what counts. So now he'll use whatever "perfect" style he needs to, even if he finds it tedious. He's often seen with white bandages wrapped around his arm for reasons nobody quite understands. He'll start to unwrap them sometimes, then just wind them back up again. Shiraishi's probably best known among the team for being the only person who can actually handle Kintarou Tooyama, their wildest and youngest member. Kintarou's got an intense imagination and, after reading some manga about poison-clawed monsters, he's genuinely terrified of Shiraishi for reasons that make no sense to anyone else.
