Movie
Description
Yushi Oshitari, a third-year at Hyoutei Academy, stands tall (178-179 cm) with layered dark blue hair and habitually wears non-prescription round-framed glasses for aesthetics despite perfect vision. He dons a fully zipped tennis jersey and a right-wrist wristband during matches.
Calm, collected, and analytical, he often acts as the group's voice of reason (tsukkomi). Beneath his composed exterior lies a fondness for romance novels, Japanese "pure love" films, and Showa-era pop music. He admires individuals with "beautiful legs," favors peaceful parks for dates, avoids natto and caterpillars, and spends his allowance on movies and theater performances. His dry humor surfaces occasionally, like his failed attempts to provoke comedic reactions from teammates.
Originally from Kansai, he transferred to Tokyo at the start of middle school. Late on his first day at Hyoutei due to taking the wrong train, he witnessed Atobe Keigo dismantling the tennis club. Intrigued, Oshitari challenged Atobe while still in his uniform. Though he lost, his performance impressed Atobe, securing mutual respect and his place as a regular alongside future teammates Mukahi Gakuto, Shishido Ryou, and Jiro Akutagawa.
His family includes parents Eiji (a doctor) and Kazumi, older sister Erina, and cousin Kenya Oshitari (a Shitenhouji regular). Their close but contentious childhood bond led to Oshitari adopting glasses after Kenya persuaded him to role-play doctors. They frequently argue, notably debating Kanto's Ryoma Echizen versus Kansai's Kintarou Tooyama.
Known as Hyoutei's "Genius" and "Man of 1000 Techniques," Oshitari employs an all-rounder playstyle emphasizing strategic calculation. Signature techniques include the Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop), precise drop shots, and "Closing off his Heart"—a mental state rendering him unreadable, even countering opponents like Ochi Tsukimitsu. He uses a BRIDGESTONE Wingbeam S65 racket and MIZUNO Wave series shoes.
His doubles partnership with Mukahi Gakuto is central to his tennis. They met early in their first year when Mukahi approached him atop a water tower, expressing ambitions to "reach higher heights"—a sentiment that intrigued Oshitari. Their deep friendship includes Mukahi knowing Oshitari's secrets and once seeking refuge at his home. Despite initial losses, they honed their coordination. At the U-17 Camp, Oshitari defeated Mukahi in a tie-break elimination match, a coldly executed victory that strained but did not break their bond.
In the "Hyoutei vs. Rikkai Game of Future," Oshitari and Mukahi faced Rikkai's Marui Bunta and Tamagawa in Doubles 2. After initial dominance against Tamagawa's extreme high lobs, Mukahi insisted on personally overcoming the shot. Oshitari launched Mukahi rocket-style from his arms during a backflip, enabling Mukahi to return the lob and secure a 7–5 win. Post-match, Oshitari caught an exhausted Mukahi, underscoring their trust.
Beyond tennis, Oshitari serves on Hyoutei's Overseas Cultural Exchange Committee. His regimented routine includes waking at 6:45 AM, reading on commutes, attending classes (excelling in math/science, struggling in gymnastics), and practicing tennis. He plays the violin, fillets fish with precision, and carves totem-pole pencils during class. His leadership role is informally vice-captain-like, evidenced by accompanying Atobe to captain-level meetings during international events.
