| Mini-Bio |
Although his stocky build may suggest otherwise, Tanishi, buoyed by his monstrous strength, is not to be taken lightly. While the Shukuchihou was ineffective against Echizen Ryoma, Tanishi's powerful serve Big Bang overwhelmed his small opponent, forcing a decisive tiebreak. Unfortunately, Tanishi had walked right into Echizen's trap. Echizen deliberately had his racket knocked out of his hand by the serve so that he could conserve his strength while Tanishi exhausted. This gave Echizen the opportunity to aim for a service ace toward the last stretches of the match and secure the victory. Tanishi has a violent streak, threatening to pound the freshman when they met at the net. |

Carioca Step - This step allows Tanishi to move sideways at a constant speed. |
| Shukuchihou - A martial arts-based technique that gives the impression Tanishi is able to approach the net or baseline in 1 step. |
| Big Bang - A serve that packs a lot of power. |
