The Prince of Tennis Cast

the prince of tennis cosplay

Primarily set in Tokyo, The Prince of Tennis is a series about a tennis prodigy named Echizen Ryoma who attends Seishun Academy (Seigaku) private school famous for its strong tennis club and talented players. Ryoma quickly defeats several upperclassmen, securing himself a spot as one of the team’s regulars. Together they pursue their goal in winning the National Middle School Tennis Championship while realizing the true meaning of tennis.

I don’t know the series well enough to say which character is which in this photo, so I’ll leave it to you guys to let me know how accurate this group shot is. Thanks to Lira for sharing this!

  1. They look fantastic, but I don't really think that it counts as cosplay, since this is a photo from the official liveaction. C:

  8. China live action? I believe this is the Japanese movie, starring Kanata Hongo as Ryoma Echizen. There wasn't much screen time for everyone over the short time, but a lot of the guys with more screen time seemed pretty in-character.
