Niou Masaharu

For his unpredictable play, Nioh the trickster has also earned himself the title of "the scariest player" on court. As a matter of fact, he is the only player who Inui was unable to collect data from.Nioh's specialty isn't only his trick play, but also his ability to acurately predict his opponent's next 10 or even 20 moves, taking the entire game to his control. His techniques can almost be described as a state of art, making him a deadly opponent you wouldn't want to mess with.He also has cosplaying tendencies which are brought onto the court for various strategies, although possibly not as extreme as his usual doubles partner, Yagyuu.

Kei's opinion: ... Niou-san, ne? Ahhh. Well, he's a petenshi. I can't wait to see his OVA though, it seems interesting that he'll be copying Shiraishi-san. :) Though, he's very talented for being a trickster. One problem I do have with him though is that he and Yagyuu switch way too much for a tennis game. =\ It's not really THAT amazin'. Though, I still wish luck to Niou-san when he goes off to fight Fuji.
