[edit] Echizen and the JTA
The article states that the Japanese Tennis Association has accepted Ryoma Echizen as a formal image character of the organization. I have been searching the official JTA webpage, but couldn't find any information about this. Can anyone provide a source for this? Ufretin 14:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Echizen's appearance
Why is his eye and hair color getting changed every other week?
Where do people get the idea that his hair is green in any way?

The green hair only becomes obvious from around episode 27 onward, sometimes attributable to the lighting conditions, however it also shines blue at times. Given that it starts appearing quite frequently with tones of green during the second season, I'd stick with a "dark green" on hair, and while I can't speak of the manga - where I believe they are distinctly gold - his eyes seem just a natural colour, somewhere between a normal brown and green?

[edit] Fandom
No more fandom comments! They are not objective! And who he's paired up with his not canon, so please stop writing fandom sections for the characters.
"As the main character, Ryoma is both widely loved and widely hated. Fans who like him usually highlight how he does care for people under his indifferent facade and how he breaks the archetype of the cheerful, sweet-tempered sports manga hero; those who hate him accuse Ryoma (specially after the Hyotei matches in the manga) of being a Gary Stu.
In fanfiction, he's paired up with Sakuno Ryuzaki, Kunimitsu Tezuka, Takeshi Momoshiro, Syuusuke Fuji, Kevin Smith from the American Team or an Original Character (usually female, and often a Mary Sue if not handled right) invented by the fanfic author. Lots of authors also exaggerate greatly his flaws (like his cluelessness and arrogance) or, specially in yaoi fanfics, make Ryoma submissive to his partner to the point of slavery."Vera26 05:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Why say no for fandom? I think the fandom section reflect quite accurately what fans really think about the character or the series. Ryoma does have the traits of a Gary Stu (somewhat) but it is reasonable. And you have to admit, the ratio of male vs female in the series is like 50 to 1. And just take a look at all those femimine bishies (Yukimura and Fuji being the epitomes). Telling fan girls not to pair them up is like putting the fish in front of the cat then forbid it from eating the fish. I think the author put that many bishies and the various subtle innuendos with intention in mind, to attract fan girls (of course via the much tempting pair-them-up session). You will see that a lot of shounen series do this (Hikaru no Go, Saiyuki, Naruto ect...). So, to fandom comments, I give them a thumb up. Sythe, 26/12/2006
[edit] Matches
Could someone please add Ryoma's matches with Jin Akutsu and Yuuta Fuji? thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.207.33.77 (talk) 00:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Concerning copied moves and a particular match
I just finished a bit of an overhaul of the page, and first would like to address the paragraph concerning Ryoma's match with Kintarou Tooyama. I, honestly, could make neither heads nor tails of it, and as such removed it entirely. If someone would like to improve it and add it back, that would be absolutely wonderful; below is the paragraph as it was before I removed it.
Due to the D1 won by Tezuka (and Inui, although he didnt do anything relative to the match). Ryoma is unnecessary to face Tooyama from Shitenhouji. But Tooyama insist a match and Horio's cousin came to persuade Ryoma to play one rally with him since he ran all the way from Mt. Fuji for this match. Ryoma started the rally off with a twist serve.
Secondly, the section entitled Other Techniques looks to me like it may just be a list of moves Ryoma has copied from other players and perhaps even only used the once. It seems strange to have so comprehensive a list of other player's moves on a page exclusively for Ryoma. I myself haven't read the manga (I know, shame on me!), so would anybody like to shed some light on this? If it is as I've assumed, I can see no reason why it should not be removed. Any thoughts?
