Description
Gin Ishida, a third-year student at Shitenhōji Junior High, is the older brother of Fudomine's Tetsu Ishida. As the physically strongest middle schooler in the series, his imposing stature, tall build, and bald head often lead to humorous interactions where elderly individuals mistake him for Buddha.
His signature tennis technique is the Hadōkyū, which he created with 108 progressive power levels. The first level already matches Kawamura Takashi's Dash Hadōkyū in intensity, showcasing exceptional power. Gin can also neutralize opponents' Hadōkyū returns, converting them into standard shots. During the National Middle School Tournament, he competed as Singles 2 for Shitenhōji. He dominated Kawamura in the quarterfinals until an unexpected frame-shot surpassed his Level 108 Hadōkyū’s power, fracturing Gin’s arm and forcing a forfeit.
At the U-17 Training Camp, Gin advanced from Court 5 to Court 3. He won his initial tie-break against teammate Konjiki Koharu after Koharu was accidentally struck by a Hadōkyū. Gin later challenged Duke Watanabe, Japan's top U-17 high school power player, in the "Genius 10 Challenge." Duke escalated from 60% to full power upon recognizing Gin’s threat. Though Gin’s Level 108 Hadōkyū matched 60% of Duke’s strength, he lost decisively to Duke’s "Duke Homerun" technique.
Selected as an aggressive baseliner for Japan’s U-17 World Cup team, Gin partnered with Duke in Doubles 1 against Switzerland. They lost 1-6 to Albert Federer and Randy Pugu, with Gin sustaining injuries that led to his replacement by Renji Yanagi in subsequent matches.
His U-17 camp profile rates Power and Mental stats at the maximum of 5, while Speed, Technique, and Stamina are lower at 1, 2, and 2. Off-court, Gin practices Buddhist traditions like seated meditation and sutra recitation. His hobbies include training, and he dislikes crowded spaces. Academically, he excels in National Language and Japanese History but struggles in Home Economics.
