| Mini-Bio |
All of Kite's teammates have a deep trust in him. Not only is he responsible for assembling this team of martial arts prodigies, but his tennis is a notch above his comrades. With an aggressive play style that quickly targets his opponent's weaknesses, Kite shut down every school's ace player at the Kyuushuu Tournament and was nicknamed the Hitman. His incredible equilibrioception allows him to use the Shukuchihou to move in any direction he wants. Kite has the honor of testing Tezuka Kunimitsu in his first official return match. Befitting of a player who registered on Rikkai's radar, Kite jumped out to a 4-0 lead. However, when Tezuka revealed his hidden abilities, a desperate and despicable Kite used his racket to swipe sand in Tezuka's direction. Fortunately, his dirty antic failed. Higa's violence is not exclusive to outsiders. Kite slammed a ball into advisor Saotome Harumi's abdomen when the latter tried to abandon his charges after Higa lost the fourth straight set to Seigaku. Kite often threatens his teammates with eating gouya. |
