Description
Q.P., officially registered as "Quality of Perfect," is a key member of Germany's U-17 World Cup team. His journey began at the German Tennis Academy, arriving as an infant with no known name or birthplace. Initially nicknamed "Quark Puppe" (Unimportant Puppet), he was mentored by coach Ken Lendoll, who recognized his potential. Lendoll devised daily tennis challenges for him, using a seesaw with two birds they alternately tipped to signal task completion. This routine continued for three years until Q.P. discovered Lendoll had been demoted to a cleaner for defying officials to continue his training. This revelation prompted Lendoll to rename him "Quality of Perfect," reflecting his transformation into an elite player.
Serving as Germany's tactical advisor and second-ranked player, Q.P. specializes in data analysis and match preparation. He identifies rival teams' strengths, initially underestimating Japan before acknowledging their rapid improvement and noting discrepancies in data concerning player Shusuke Fuji. His playing style is methodical and gap-free, leveraging precise calculations to determine optimal shots. This approach stems from academy training emphasizing objective self-assessment and eliminating strategic errors. He wields a Bridgestone Probeam X01 Mid Over 2001 racket and wears Yonex Power Cushion Wide 2001 shoes.
During U-17 World Cup exhibition matches, he partnered with Kunimitsu Tezuka to dominate Japan's Keigo Atobe and Kanata Irie 6–0. In the semifinals against Japan, he faced Jujiro Oni in Singles 3. Maintaining emotional detachment, Q.P. instructed the umpire to silence disruptive crowd noise. This stoicism originated in childhood; he learned tennis in isolation, treating the sport purely analytically. After a three-set battle (7–6, 3–6, 6–3), he defeated Oni.
Off the court, Q.P. appreciates classical music, particularly Mendelssohn, and enjoys Werther's Original candies. He dislikes comparisons to a doll due to his appearance. His daily routines include making phone calls to an unidentified recipient during training camps. He values intelligence and cites the motto: "First and last, what is demanded of genius is love and truth."
Trivia notes include the phonetic similarity of "Q.P." to "Kewpie" (a Japanese mayonnaise brand) and his status as the series' first foreign data-centric player. His relationships are sparse, but he shares mutual respect with Tezuka, who acknowledges his analytical contributions.
