Sumire Ryuzaki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sumire Ryuzaki (竜崎スミレ Ryūzaki Sumire?) is a fictional character in the popular Japanese manga and anime series Prince of Tennis. She is voiced by Barbara Goodson in English and Shizuka Ogohira in Japanese.

Sumire is the tennis coach and maths teacher of Ryoma Echizen's school, Seishun Academy Middle School (Seigaku). It was much to her thanks that Echizen's father, Nanjiro Echizen, was able to gain his skill, 25 years ago.

Sumire is the grandmother of Ryoma's protegée and possible future girlfriend, Sakuno Ryuzaki; it's strongly implied that she raised her granddaughter alone, since Sakuno's parents are never ever referred to, not even in the official guides. She also has a sort-of rivalry with her ex-mentor, Mikiya Banda aka Banji, who is the coach for Yamabuki.
