Kenya Oshitari

About Oshitari, Kenya

Kenya Oshitari Grade: Year 3, Class 2 #5 Birthdate: March 17 (Pisces) Blood type: B Height: 177 cm Weight: 63 kg Foot size: 27 cm Eyesight: 2.0 both eyes Kenya's known as Naniwa's Speed Star—and honestly, he lives up to it. He's faster than even Kamio Akira, which is saying something. His whole thing is speed tennis, and his motto basically sums up his philosophy: "No speed, no life." He plays right-handed with a Bridgestone Wingbeam S65 racket and wears Bridgestone Arch Power Dura Heat shoes, both chosen for maximum speed. He grew up alongside his cousin Yuushi Oshitari, sharing the same elementary school before their paths diverged. His family includes his parents (his father's a home doctor), a younger brother, and an iguana he takes care of daily. Fans often note his dedication to his appearance—he spends his allowance on hair bleach to keep his look sharp. At school, Kenya's most comfortable in the broadcasting room, where he serves on the broadcasting committee. English and math come naturally to him, though world history isn't his strong suit. He's skilled at drums and has eclectic tastes: he's into rap music, motor sports manga, and the movie Speed (fitting, given his style). He hates waiting and loves window-shopping, usually aiming for a roller coaster at an amusement park when he's got free time. When Seigaku needed a doubles 1 player, Kenya was originally scheduled to face them. Instead, he selflessly benched himself so his teammate Chitose Senri could play against Tezuka Kunimitsu.
