Ryoma Echizen

Ryoma Echizen, who formerly lived in the United States, started his first year of school at Seishun Academy the day he arrived in Japan. Ryoma, who was just in his first year of middle school, gained popularity by winning four American Junior Tennis championships in a row in just over a year. Ryoma, who is only twelve years old, has already been dubbed a "prodigy" due to his practically unbeatable tennis performance.

Although he doesn't seem to realize it because of his sole focus on tennis, his attractiveness and confidence make him quite popular with women. He serves as the series' main protagonist. Ryoma's Fila hat is his go-to piece of attire. Fila owns his shoe line as well. With the exception of when he is wearing his school uniform or while resting at home, he is practically never seen without his hat. Instead of giving himself a break and taking it easy, he pushes himself harder. He specializes in singles, however he once tried doubles with partner Momoshiro Takeshi.

Ryoma Echizen has a tendency to forget those he considers unimportant or those he only briefly interacted with. His catchphrase and go-to expression in Japanese animation is "Mada Mada Dane," which is literally translated as "You still have a lot more to work on," "No, not yet," or "Not good enough." It is translated as "You still have a ways to go" in the American version.
