No. 8 on the first string. Atsukyou is a very sadistic player with a rude and demeaning personality to match. He is easily the most prideful and arrogant player on the first string, and won't hesitate to attack his own teammates with a tennis ball if he feels they've let go of their pride. On the court, he uses a series of dangerous moves known as executions where he directly attacks his opponents that, unlike Kirihara's and Byoudouin's brute force attacks, target specific body parts and can completely paralyze the opponent once enough executions are received. Each execution is named after a real-world execution method used in human history, depending on the part of the body targeted. Somewhat ironically, Atsukyou has a plate over his left knee from a previous unknown incident. Attacking it directly causes him great pain and warrants medical attention and brief rehabilitation.
