Kintarou is a character from the anime/manga Prince of Tennis and serves as the youngest member of Shitenhouji. He first shows up during the Nationals Tournament arc, where he meets Horio Junpei after accidentally getting off the train at the wrong stop—he spotted Mt. Fuji and figured he was already in Tokyo. Once in the story, Kintarou becomes one of Seigaku's major rivals, positioned as a counterpart to Ryoma Echizen. There's even a scene where Yuushi Oshitari hears his cousin Kenya boasting about Kintarou's abilities while Yuushi brags about Ryoma in return—setting up a broader rivalry between the powerhouse teams from different regions. What makes Kintarou memorable is his personality. He's genuinely friendly and upbeat, quick to befriend people like Sakuno Ryuzaki. He's also hilariously afraid of his own captain, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, having read some manga about monsters with poisoned claws and somehow convinced himself that Shiraishi's ever-present hand bandages hide actual poison weapons. Shiraishi takes full advantage of this fear when he needs Kintarou to shape up. The character also has a loose grasp on language. He famously mishears things—like believing Ryoma's name is pronounced "Koshimae" and thinking that when Kenya described Ryoma as having "nerves of steel" and "san paku gan" (wide-eyed intensity), he actually meant Ryoma had a steel body, poisonous fingers, and literal three eyes. Fans often note these misunderstandings are some of his funniest moments.
