Description
Kiko Valentín is a young tennis prodigy and a first-year high school student representing the United States team in the U-17 World Cup. Despite his relatively smaller stature for a team member, he has already won a state-level tournament, showcasing his exceptional talent from a young age. He has a feminine appearance and hairstyle, and stands at a height of 172 cm.
His personality is characterized by a bright, carefree, and seemingly insouciant demeanor, often taking things lightly in line with his personal motto, "Take it easy". However, having survived and succeeded in the merit-based and competitive world of professional youth tennis, he also possesses a more serious and pragmatic side. This duality reveals a sharp individual whose cheerful nature often conceals the instincts of a fierce competitor. His initial impression of Ryoma Echizen was that he "looked tasty," indicating an early and intense interest in the Japanese prodigy.
As a member of the powerful American team, Kiko plays a supporting role alongside notable teammates such as Ralph Reinhardt and Dudu Obando. One of his key relationships is with Ryoga Echizen; his daily routine during tournaments involves performing a greeting called the Apacho to Ryoga. He was present at the airport to welcome Ryoma Echizen to the American U-17 camp and initially expressed concern for him. Throughout his appearance in the story, he observes the developments involving Ryoma and the team's preparations for the World Cup.
Kiko is a right-handed counter-puncher, a style that relies on agility, precision, and returning the opponent's power rather than generating his own from a static position. His chosen equipment reflects a professional standard: a HEAD YouTek IG Extreme Pro racket and ASICS GEL-RESOLUTION 3 shoes. Outside of tennis, his hobbies include playing the guitar. He also possesses a notable special skill in arcade shooting games. Demonstrating a unique physical trait, he appears to be more immune to heat than his teammates, as he was the only one not sweating during warm-ups for an exhibition match in the Australian summer.
