Description
Kazuya Tokugawa, a towering high school tennis player at 189 cm tall and 71 kg, is recognized as one of Japan's strongest in his age group. He wields his BRIDGESTONE X-BLADE FORCE 3.15 MID PLUS racket left-handed with an all-rounder style, honed through international training in France during childhood before joining Japan's U-17 camp.
A defining defeat one year prior, inflicted by Byoudouin Houou in a match that left him severely injured, became his driving force. This loss propelled Tokugawa into intensive mountain training under the "Drunken Coach" Mifune. He returned as a formidable Court 1 member, demonstrating exceptional skills like rallying with five tennis balls simultaneously. His focus narrowed intensely on surpassing Byoudouin.
At the U-17 camp, Tokugawa recognized middle schooler Echizen Ryoma's talent during their initial practice, where Tokugawa's intimidating aura and technical superiority were evident. He advised both Ryoma and Tooyama Kintaro to pursue mountain training. Later, Tokugawa intervened to shield Ryoma from Byoudouin's destructive serve, sustaining injuries that hampered his subsequent performance. This act revealed an underlying mentorship and sense of responsibility toward Ryoma, whom he viewed as a younger brother figure.
The highly anticipated Genius 10 Challenge rematch against Byoudouin showcased Tokugawa's evolution. He debuted mastered techniques like the Glowing Shot and the Divine Path of Asura, developed through rigorous training with allies Oni Juujirou and Kanata Irie, fueled by his pledge to become Japan's top player. Tokugawa claimed the first set 7-6 using strategic plays, including the body-straining Black Hole. Despite leading 6-5 in the final set, he collapsed from exacerbated injuries, having exceeded Black Hole's 30-minute physiological limit. After medical treatment, he was appointed Japan's U-17 No. 4 representative.
During the U-17 World Cup, Tokugawa partnered with Yukimura Seiichi in doubles against Germany. When Yukimura temporarily lost his senses, Tokugawa single-handedly defended the court using repeated Black Holes, nearing physical collapse. Following Yukimura's recovery, they unleashed the synchronized doubles technique "Howling." Tokugawa maintains disciplined habits like early morning runs and finger-standing exercises. His hobbies include snowboarding and yachting, with Auckland's yacht harbor noted as a preferred location. Personal traits encompass a stern demeanor, a strong moral compass guided by Confucian principles, and meticulous self-care routines like laundering clothes during tournaments. Quieter aspects include maintaining correspondence with acquaintances and expressing gratitude to allies like Yukimura for their resonant teamwork.
