Shuichiro OishiShuichiro Oishi (大石 秀一郎 Ōishi Shūichirō) is a fictional character in the anime and manga The Prince of Tennis. His name is spelled Shuichiro Oishi in the English manga, and it is spelled as Syuichirou Oishi in Roman characters in the Japanese version of the TV show. It is spelled "Syuitiroh" in some artwork, probably because the "chi" hiragana technically belongs to the "t" row. Oishi is a third year student at Seishun Academy Middle School (Seigaku) and the vice-captain of the tennis club. Along with Eiji Kikumaru he is part of Seigaku's "Golden Pair", a doubles team that made it to Nationals the year before the series takes place. His special shots include the "Moon Volley". This shot is a topspin lob that travels very high and lands just inbounds. Oishi is calm and rational in a match, the perfect complement for the acrobatic Eiji. Oishi is known as the mother of Seigaku, because he constantly worries and frets for the team's well-being. He is also notable for his strange hairstyle and his pet fish. In the absence of the team's captain, Kunimitsu Tezuka, Oishi reluctantly takes on the position of temporary captain. In the manga, when Tezuka returns from rehabilitation, Oishi sacrifices his wrist (injured during an incident involving a pregnant woman that led to the formation of the Momoshiro-Kikumaru doubles pair) in a match with Tezuka, thereby offering Tezuka his place on the regulars instead of going through a ranking match.
