Hirakoba, Rin
Summary
Rin Hirakoba, born on March 3rd, stands at 172cm and weighs 54kg, favoring his right arm. He lives with his parents, an older sister, and his grandmother. As the sole player who values fair play, he distinguishes himself by employing unique techniques such as Habu, a smash-style shot that curves during its bounce, and Giant Habu, which curves immediately upon leaving the racket but induces hand numbness, restricting its use to once per match. Demonstrating his independent spirit, he is among the few who dare to defy Coach Saotome, having refused an order to attack Seigaku's coach because he believed the match was simply more interesting.
