Inspection
With the ups and downs of their violent emotions, they were born to attract people.
Ruthless and relentless. On the court, they have absolutely no sympathy for their opponents. They don't hide their anger or irritation, but this is caused by their poor way of expressing their emotions. This is the common point between these two. In some cases, their honest emotions will violently manifest, but this shows that they do not have a two-faced personality. There are also many people who are attracted by that honesty.
[Picture of Kirihara kicking out at the tennis net and Kaidou lashing out his racket at Kamio.]
The reasons vary, but there are many instances where they are unable to control their own emotions. At times, there are also situations when they resort to force.
[Picture of Kirihara using his racket to shield Yanagi from receiving Sanada's punishment for losing]
He has also protected Yanagi, his senpai who is usually affectionate towards him, from Sanada's punishment.
[Picture of Kaidou yelling "Inui-senpai, please hang in there!"]
If it's someone he trusts, he will rely on and support them.
In any case, these two give the impression of being difficult to approach, but Kirihara makes a lot of frivolous talk and also has a funny side off the courts. Kaidou is the taciturn and curt type. He has a sharp side that doesn't allow other people to get close to him, but he doesn't forget to treat his senpais with respect and also possesses an obedient side. Their degree of instability is large, but is probably these two's common appeal.
Common Questionnaire
When you become a third year, what kind of club do you want to make?
I'll make Seigaku, which dominated the Nationals this year, into an unbeatable team. If I can't do that much, it'd be meaningless. (Kaidou)
I'll make Rikkai number one once again. But, before that, I have to beat our Top Three! (Kirihara)
What do you like to be called?
I don't mind being called by my family name like usual. Aside from Ma...shi, it doesn't really matter, anything's fine. As long as it's not Mamu.... (Kaidou)
Akaya is fine! Ah, Second Year Ace is also good. What if you call me Wakame Yarou? ......... how about I crush you? (Kirihara)
What was your Christmas present last year?
I didn't really get anything special, from my parents. I'm in 2nd year middle school, I don't need to get anything anymore. I didn't ask for anything to begin with. (Kaidou)
Even though I asked for Wimbledon tickets last year, I didn't get them~. I wonder if Santa-san got mixed up? (Kirihara)
If you could only bring one item with you on a deserted island?
Hm? ...... you thought that I would say ...... my bandana? Please get a life. What kind of question is this? (Kaidou)
It has to be a video game after all. I'd have too much spare time on a deserted island~. Of course, a fighting game would be good! Since I bought a new title recently. (Kirihara)

Translator's Notes
1 Soba is Japanese buckwheat noodles and zaru is a draining basket made from bamboo and used in the preparation and presentation of Japanese cuisine as described on
Wikipedia. So Kaidou likes to have his yam soba served on a zaru.
* Note that the font used for Kirihara's name at the top of his profile is different than the one used for Kaidou's name. Kaidou's font looks more straight and proper than Kirihara's.
* Also note that they stamp their name in red ink as their signature at the top of their profiles and Kirihara stamps his upside-down!
