Description
Syusuke Fuji attends Seishun Academy (Seigaku) as a third-year student. He stands 167 cm tall and weighs 53 kg. Born on February 29, he is a Pisces with blood type B. His unaided eyesight measures 1.2 (left) and 1.0 (right), and he favors his right hand. Fuji is known for his light brown hair and perpetually closed eyes, though intense tennis matches or provocation reveal sharp blue eyes (depicted as brown in the manga).
His family consists of an unnamed father employed by a foreign company, mother Yoshiko, older sister Yumiko, and younger brother Yuuta. Fuji grew up in Chiba, befriending Saeki Kojirō before moving to Tokyo. He exhibits fierce protectiveness, particularly toward Yuuta, holding grudges like the one against St. Rudolph's Mizuki Hajime for exploiting his brother. This extends to friends, such as his reaction to Kirihara Akaya injuring Tachibana Kippei.
Initially hailed as a "Tensai" (genius) for his counter-puncher style, Fuji relies on signature Triple Counters: *Tsubame Gaeshi* (Swallow's Return), *Higuma Otoshi* (Brown Bear Drop), and *Hakugei* (White Whale). He expands his arsenal with the fourth counter (*Kagerou Zutsumi*), fifth (*Hecatoncheires no Monban*), sixth (*Hoshi Hanabi*), and refined techniques like *Houou Gaeshi* (Phoenix Return) and *Kirin Otoshi* (Kirin Drop). His playing style undergoes significant evolution during the U-17 World Cup arc, shifting from reactive counters to proactive offense. Spurred by a "private oath" and the realization that relying solely on opponents limits growth, he masters new techniques like the Critical Wind series: *Aoi Fubuki* (Blue Blizzard) and *Hikari Kaze* (Light Wind). The latter allows him to predict shots by reading muscle movements and breathing.
Fuji's personality blends cheerfulness with a subtle sadistic streak; he enjoys teasing others, especially Yuuta and teammates. Popular among peers, he maintains close bonds with Seigaku members like Eiji Kikumaru and Kunimitsu Tezuka. His hobbies include photography, cactus collecting, winter sports, and stargazing. He possesses unconventional food preferences, favoring spicy dishes like wasabi sushi and tolerating Inui Sadaharu's penal teas—except "Aozu," a vinegar-cod liver oil concoction that causes him to black out.
At the U-17 camp, Fuji begins on Court 7, advances to Court 6, and secures the No. 8 position for the World Cup's middle school division. His tournament participation solidifies his transformation into an aggressive player, emphasizing self-determined goals over reactive strategies. He expresses a desire to "show a new scenery" to others, underscoring his commitment to surpassing limits.
