Today (5th May) is the birthday of Jiro, the sleeping bishonen from Hyotei. Is this a wrong word to describe the kawaii Jiro? Well, he doesn't appear a lot in the anime and he was easily beaten by Fuji. Even though he seems such a dangerous fellow in the beginning when Atobe called Sakaki to get Jiro to take part in the consolation match for the Tokyo round, his play style and character doesn't fit that description. Although he seems to be rather casual about playing, he derives great joy from playing with strong people like Atobe, Fuji and his source of inspiration is Marui who is also a volley specialist. Too bad he was not in the Senbatsu arc but then if he was in, he would have ended up sleeping his way through. ^__^ One of the funniest scenes I remembered from Jiro was when he poked fun at Kaidou for being rude to him at Karuizawa even though Jiro is older by one year. Kaidou was pissed off by Jiro's nonchalant attitude towards the practice match. Apparently, he was sleeping right to the final moment before that match and didn't seem to have done any warming up. That's why, to a player like Kaidou who takes tennis seriously, he would be happy with Jiro's way of doing things. Anyway, Jiro got knocked out by Kaidou with his boomerang snake so it was hillarious to see such an end to that match.
Now that Hyotei is through to the Nationals, I hope to see Jiro again in the manga and hopefully, he can play against Marui to see who's the better volley specialist. ^__^ I doubt so since Marui seems to be doing doubles most of the time but I'm still hopeful.
