In the “you never know what you’ll find when browsing the ‘net” category comes this interesting manga/anime called “The Prince of Tennis” and a character from it by the name of Hiroshi Chinen, from Higa Middle School. Here’s a tidbit about the school via Wikipedia: “The members of the tennis team have a rather bad attitude by tennis standards, and aren’t afraid of using nasty methods to win. The school’s coach is Saotome Harumi, who directly encourages the on-court violence.” I personally haven’t read/seen an episode of “The Prince of Tennis” but it sounds kind of interesting especially given the fact that a single called “Rakuen e” (NECM-13003) will be released on May 16, 2007, under the name of two of its characters from the Higa Middle School, Hiroshi Chinen and Rin Hirakoba.
