Echizen Ryoma, aged twelve, has just moved to Japan from the USA. He has won four consecutive junior tennis tournaments, and has just enrolled in Seishun Gakuen Junior High [commonly called Seigaku].
The Prince of Tennis starts off following Echizen and his developing tennis career, as well as his relationship with his seniors and teammates on the team. The Seigaku tennis team’s determination to get to the National inter-school tournament is also central to this series. However, as more teams appear, the story sometimes deviates a little to feature some of the more prominent ‘rival’ players.
