Line 31:
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[God Mode Sue]] & [[Jerk Sue]]: His [[Hate Dumb|anti-fans]] LOVE to accuse him of being one of these.
** When a 12 year old boy is already a 4 time tennis champ (in the US) it's kinda hard not to see it. But still, lots of the accusations come from rabid Atobe and/or Rikkaidai fans... who then go and make ''them'' [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]].
* [[Gratuitous English]]: "You have lots more to work on."
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: He loves taking naps, and [[Not a Morning Person|is hard to wake up up in the morning]].
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Actually, he is not ''right'' handed. He switches to the left when he decides to get serious.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: He never really gets seriously chewed out for his arrogance, probably because [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|he DOES have every right to be arrogant with that level of tennis-fu]].
* [[Junko Minagawa]]
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: He shows quiet a bit of love toward his cat Karupin.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]
* [[Mega Manning]]: Even before achieving {{spoiler|Muga no Kyouchi or Self-Actualization}} one of Ryoma's skills was copying shots after seeing them only a few times.
Line 87:
* [[The Worf Effect]] / [[Worf Had the Flu]]: He always gets injured in critical moments.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: [[The Movie]] says [[Narm|that he extinguished the dinosaurs]]. Right.
* [[Yaoi Guys]]: One of the most popular targets for yaoi doujinshii and fanfiction in the fandom. Specially with Fuji and Atobe.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Is he ''really'' just 14 going to 15? He's been mistaken for a ''teacher''.
Line 138:
The epitome of bubbly and cheery is this bouncy, cheerful, slightly spoiled boy whose abilities rely on his sharp eyes, his flexibility and his ability to jump high and quick from her to there. He may look ditzy and act like a child sometimes, but if you underestimate him, you will ''lament'' it: not just because Eiji is very skillful, but can also have as much willpower and strength as the other players. Is often seen with his close friend Fuji or his partner Oishi, the other half of the "Golden Pair", and to whom he's fiercely devoted (and yes, this is the source of LOTS of [[Ho Yay]], according to fandom - can't blame the fans one bit, though).
Tropes associated with Eiji:
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
Line 146:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Zannen Munnen Mata Raishu!" (Too bad, see you next week!), or "Hoi hoi!"
* [[Character Development]]: Compare the Eiji from the beginning of the Hyoutei arc to the one from the Higa matches. BIG difference.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: He's got sharp eyes and reflexes, but the downside is his lack of stamina. {{spoiler|He later goes under [[Training
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[First-Name Basis]]: People rarely call him by his surname, something very rare in Japan.
Line 335:
** {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard]] and [[Humiliation Conga]]}}
*** {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: To Yuuta, at least in fanon. Considering his behavior to him [[Likes Older Women|and his sister Yumiko]], it's not that hard to see where it comes from.
Line 428:
Tropes associated with Minami:
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: 'Jimmies' (dull/plain) gets called this along with his doubles partner, Higashikata.
* [[Masaaki Ishikawa]]
Line 504:
* {{spoiler|[[Important Haircut]]: After losing to Ryoma in the Nationals. Subverted because he's later shown using a wig.}}
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[Large Ham]]: So over the top.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Another one who's paired up with *everyone*
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Don't let the pretty face fool you. He can be one nasty SOB and do it with ''style''.
Line 553:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: With Ohtori, cranked [[Up to Eleven]] in the anime.
* [[Important Haircut]]
* [[The Napoleon]]:
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Cap]]
* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]
Line 712:
Tropes associated with Saeki:
* [[Claustrophobia]]: Mentioned in one of the fanbooks.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: To Fuji.
** [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: In fanon.
Line 831:
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: His [[Blood Knight]] tendences get exaggerated to ridiculous degrees in the manga. {{spoiler|Made even worse in the anime, where he actually ''was'' given [[Character Development]] and seeked to ''not'' fall into this... but the [[Aesop Amnesia]] kicked in and that was lost}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cry Cute]] (in the anime}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: to Ryoma, though not explicitly stated. They're both the young, childish, arrogant aces of their teams with exceptional skills. While Ryoma may aim for people with his twist serve and Drive A, this is a key part of Kirihara's playstyle. Ryoma's been trained from a young age, Akaya's a prodigy.
* [[Green Eyes]]
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
Line 871:
Tropes associated with Marui:
* [[Big Eater]]
** [[Genius' Sweet Tooth]]: Usually seen eating candies or cakes.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
Line 915:
* [[Jerkass]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: How he treated {{spoiler|Ryoma's mother}}.
* [[Training
* [[Yoshiro Matsumoto]]
Line 934:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Half-Chinese.
* [[Isshin Chiba]]
* [[The White Prince]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
Line 977:
* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]]
* [[Ditzy Genius]]
* [[Malaproper]]: Apparently, he got off the wrong train due to being unable to read kanji well. He also always refers to Ryoma as "Koshimae", using the [[Alternate Character Reading]] of his name, despite Ryoma openly correcting him.
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Getting off the train ''in the wrong city''?
* [[Skilled but Naive]]: He's the best player on the team, even stronger than the club captain, Shiraishi. Literally everyone on the team is scared of his power. Even his signature move, 'Super Ultra Great Delicious Giant Swing Mountain Storm' is stronger than Gin's 108th level Hadokyuu.
** He's one of the few who can mix this ''and'' [[Unskilled but Strong]]. Yeah, he's super strong and all, but seriously lacks skill as well.
Line 1,005:
* [[Afro Asskicker]]: His hair is big. REALLY big.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Always acts as if he was stoned.
* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Almost lost an eye when Tachibana hit him with a ball}}
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
Line 1,091:
** [[Characterization Marches On]]: Is kinder in ''Umibe no Secret'', though like Kite he isn't above behaving not so nicely towards other players.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: See Saotome's section, as he was the one {{spoiler|who injured poor Ojii under his orders.}}
** [[Punch Clock Villain]]
* [[Nice Hat|Nice Cap]]
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Yuki Kaida]]
Line 1,350:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
* [[The Scrappy]]
** Could, however, be seen as a [[Rescued
* [[Shigenori Yamazaki]]
Line 1,423:
== '''Osakada Tomoka''' ==
Tropes associated with Tomoka:
* [[Bully Hunter]]
* [[Beauty Mark]]
