By his second year of junior high, he'd already made his mark in table tennis. Back in elementary school, he captained the table tennis club at Higashi Elementary and first played doubles with Jun, a year younger than him. His style is all about aggressive front-end attacks—he likes to take the initiative and finish points early rather than get into long rallies.
He shows up in episode 12.
