Makinofuji (Hyougo)
Kansai’s heroes who excelled in coordination
The school that came second last year. They have good balance, but not having been able to compensate for the hole left by 3rd year ace(s) is a weakness.
An unexpected elimination last year’s runner-up school on the second round. Though it was rumoured their capability had gone down, who could have ever imagined the school that came in second last year would lose to debuting a no name school…? Developing their human recourses in singles is urgent business.

Makinofuji’s cheering party losing their voices during the unexpected development.
“Tezuka Kunimitsu ain’t nothing much!” *1
The master of “super tennis”…?! Kadowaki Satoru
What he himself calls “super tennis” is actually still an enigma. The play itself is surprisingly steady.

In S2 that sealed the team’s fate, Kadowaki was totally beat by Ibu.
Hagi Einoshin Suffering overwhelming loss to Shitenhouji’s 1st year rookie in Kansai tournament left lasting effect, and his play was lacking in brilliance in the current tournament. *3
National tournament match results
Makinofuji’s carelessness played a role, but Fudoumine, having read through the opponent’s line-up, had a great strategy too.
Round 2 S3 Inoue vs Kamio 4-6 D2 Kuge-Shinokura vs Uchimura-Mori 6-2 S2 Kadowaki vs Ibu 1-6 D1 Hanabata-Misaki vs Ishida-Sakurai 4-6 S1 Hagi vs Tachibana
When you’ve estimated the opponent to be lower rank, but start getting overpowered in one play, it will cause mental collapsing too. The result is getting defeated as if by self-destruction. *4
