So, how are you doing ‘Prince of Tennis’ TV show fans? Today, let’s discuss some interesting facts from a very interesting as well as entertaining series.

Prince of Tennis, originally a Japanese manga series, was turned into an anime series by Takayuki Hamana. Animation for the show was done by Trans Arts and Nihon Ad Systems and TV Tokyo served as the co-producers. Since the premiere of the show, we all have been watching Ryoma Echizen as the protagonist of the show.   He’s one of the most loved characters of Prince of Tennis and a number of people became fans of the show only because of him.

Ryoma was a twelve year old tennis prodigy who had proved his skills by winning four consecutive Junior Tennis Tournaments in America. In the American version of the show, his character was voiced by David Neil Black. Kanata Hongo portrayed Ryoma in the live-action adaptation of the series.

Being successful in a young age made Ryoma a little arrogant.  But, his awesome tennis skills helped him back up all the statements he made. Ryoma was used to being skeptical about other tennis players and often provoked his competitor before beginning a match. He also behaved in a juvenile way sometimes. He was the son of a former tennis pro Nanjiro Echizen, nicknamed “Samurai Nanjiro” and had inherited all the skills of his father.

Ryoma’s journey was not a piece of cake as in the beginning he was not taken seriously by anyone including the Seigaku Tennis Club. Throughout the series, he played innumerous matches that helped him to hone his skills. He used several tennis techniques to confront his opponents on the ground. His unique skills and appearance helped Ryoma to become one of the very well accepted animated characters throughout the world.

In the December issue of the magazine, which was released on fourth of November, it has been officially confirmed that Takeshi Konomi will be developing a new series of The Prince of Tennis especially for the magazine.

I guess the magazine did not want to lose a wonderful chance to use the immense popularity of the show for its benefit. The cartoon show revolves around the life of Ryoma Echizen a teenage boy who plays against seasoned players with ease. His calm and confidence together with his skill to play an un-matched “twist serve” puts him ahead of all the other players.
