Summary

Masaharu Niou is a third-year student at Rikkaidai Fuzoku Chuu, occupying the number fourteen spot in Class 3-B. Standing at 175cm and weighing 62kg, he is a left-handed all-rounder with an AB blood type, born on December 4th at 16:29. His equipment of choice includes YONEX POWER CUSHION21 WIDE 271 (SHT-271W) shoes and a Prince MORE POWER 1150 S racket. Originally from an unspecified location in the South, Niou is part of a family consisting of his parents, an older sister, and a younger brother, with his father working as a construction office worker. Academically, he excels in Mathematics but struggles with Music. His leisure activities and preferences are quite specific; he favors Yakiniku, Jazz music, and the movie "8 1/2," while his favorite book is Paradies der falschen Vögel (The Trickster's Paradise). He is drawn to intelligent individuals and finds solace at the seaside, though he dislikes heat. Outside of tennis, he possesses skills in archery and gun-shooting games. Nicknamed the Trickster of Rikkai dai, Niou is renowned as a formidable opponent who serves as a strong singles player as well as a skilled doubles partner alongside Yagyuu. He possesses the unique ability to perfectly mimic the techniques and play styles of other players, creating the illusion that his adversary is facing a different person. While he can predict an opponent's moves up to ten steps ahead, his copying is not flawless, as he cannot replicate certain techniques and is bound by his own physical limitations. He frequently utilizes this skill by imitating Yagyuu to disorient their rivals. Niou is also noted for his boldness, being the only player in Rikkai dai with the courage to defy Sanada's strict orders.
