40.5 translation- Higa, Kite's bio (p.194-195)
The 'extra' parts of Kite's bio page from 40.5 (p.194-195). Only the extra parts, again, as the main part has already been translated.
Corrections appreciated, as usual.
Shooting at his enemies in a heartless attack! The one called 'the hitman of the courts'
Eishirou Kite
Motivated by feelings of ambition to 'show Okinawa's strength to the nation', he's the support of Higa, whom he gathered personally. Even though he's called 'the hitman' because of his cold-hearted playstyle, everything is to fulfil his long-standing desire.
[picture of Kite] ß Even when they had to go through what seemed like unreasonably harsh training, Kite encouraged his teammates by outlining the meaning of fighting. Therefore, the club members' trust in him is deep.
Analysing Kite!!
[[His favourite music is Schubert]]
[Possessing both reason and violent emotion]
Schubert, called the ‘king of melodies’, placed equal importance on both reason and sensitivity. Being able to take in the emotional melodies even in the middle of his calculated pieces is highly appreciated. Whilst usually calm in itself, if the mask comes off for a moment, the passionate face is suddenly laid bare. In such a way, perhaps Kite, who possesses both reason and passion, was deeply attracted to Schubert’s music.
[picture of Kite] ß In an unexpected development during his match with Tezuka, he went overboard and careless behaviour emerged all at once… [1]
[1]: I wasn't quite sure about the latter part of this.
Fortune-telling on Kite!!
[[Divination by habits]]
[Using his right hand to push up the left side of his glasses]
From his habit of using his right hand to push up the left side of his glasses, one can see that one of his traits is to be contrarian. At the same time, he is able to perceive other people from differing angles, and his strong point is to have original ideas. He is still skilful at making calculations, and is very good at being able to see through people’s faults and weak points. Without using his fingertips, he uses the part nearest the back of his hand for the gesture, and from this one can perceive that he has a nervous and fastidious nature.
Personal data
Height: 179cm
Weight: 72kg
Foot size: 25.5cm
Eyesight: 0.2 in each eye (without his glasses)
Time he can stand on one leg: 19 hours
[The club members were also amazed by his marvellous sense of balance]
Once, Kite passed a whole day standing on one leg, and took the other club members aback. This ultimate sense of balance created the feat known as the ‘all-directions Shukuchihou’.
[Tanishi] talks on Kite's trivia!!
['When he was younger, he didn't like gouya!']
Because our captain's proud of Okinawa, he made a great effort to conquer gouya. He drank a specially-made gouya juice every day.
(Quote: It's useless. It will vanish)
Rivals talk about Kite!!
Tezuka: Being tenacious when seeking victory is good, but he should remember for the future that nothing but hatred is born from hostile tennis.
Ishida: Your disrupted our spirit by putting koregusu in the sauce because you had the chance. I do not hold anything against you. [2]
Sanada: I recognise his strength in leading Okinawa to the Nationals, but suffering five consecutive defeats to the likes of Seigaku was extremely poor.
[2]: Also wasn't too sure about the first part of this.
Kite's special ability!!
[[Shukuchihou]]
[The all-directions Shukuchihou has no blind spots in either offence or defence]
Originally, the Shukuchihou was not able to be used in anything other than moving forwards and backwards. However, Kite’s wondrous sense of balance made moving in all directions possible. Moving soundlessly to underneath where the ball is and picking at his opponent’s weak points… That is ‘the hitman’ Kite’s style of tennis.
[picture of Kite] ß Kite, who can make his muscles work in different directions, is able to catch up with any kind of ball in an instant.
