Fuji Syusuke is a third year student at Seigaku. He is given the title
genius (tensai), due to his tactical skill on the tennis court. He is
in the same class as Kikumaru Eiji and is Eiji's good
friend. Fuji is a leap year baby (his birthday is on February 29), and
thus he can only properly celebrate his birthday once every four years.
Fuji is cheerful and easygoing, with a penchant for
playfully teasing those around him.
He is the middle child of the Fuji family. His unnamed father is a
foreign-based employee, and is never seen in the series. His mother,
49-year-old Yoshiko, who also has perpetually-closed eyes, is
seen in the manga as a kind and dedicated Japanese housewife. His
younger brother, Yuuta, is a tennis player at St. Rudolph. Fuji's elder
sister, 24-year-old Yumiko, is considered very attractive and
is popular among both Fuji and Yuuta's friends.
He grew up in Chiba, where he became friends with Saeki Kojirou, the
current vice-captain of Rokkaku Tennis Club. Later on, he moved to
Tokyo and entered Seigaku.
Fuji usually takes the position of S2 (Singles 2), although sometimes
he is paired with Kawamura Takashi or Kikumaru Eiji in Doubles (with
Kikumaru, they are called the "Dream Pair"). Also, he and
Echizen Ryoma temporarily take turns for the position of S1 (Singles 1)
when captain Tezuka Kunimitsu is in rehabilitation.
My thoughts of Fuji:
Oh, I will admit that I'm a fan of Fuji. Ever since I first started
reading the Prince of Tennis, I was drawn to his character. He kind of
seems like that person you'd want to be friends with
because of his kindness...but you also just want to be his friend
because he has that scary side to him. I enjoy the fact that he seems
to like to watch others suffer from drinking Inui Juice. I also
like the fact that even though he's considered a genius, he doesn't
always win. I would probably like him less if he did. All in all, I
think he's a nice character...and I wouldn't mind going out to
eat with him. Bring on the Spicy Ramen and Inui Juice~!
Other Things:

Japanese Voice Actor: Kaida Yuki
Actors in Tenimyu (in order): Kimeru, Nagayama Takashi, Aiba Hiroki, Furukawa Yuuta, Taito Hashimoto
Note: Nagayama Takashi took the role of Fuji while Kimeru was
moved to playing Echizen Ryoma. This was due to Yanagi Kotorou's
accident. Kimeru took the role of Fuji once Endo
Yuya began to act as Ryoma. Also, Aiba Hiroki came back to replay the
role as Fuji in 2008. Aiba also played the part of Fuji in the Prince
of Tennis live action movie.
