Kaidoh kaoru biography channel

Kaoru Kaidō (海堂 薫 Kaidō Kaoru) is a second-year Regular at the Seigaku tennis club and is renowned for his long reach and stamina. His nickname is "Viper" ("Mamushi" in Japanese) and his signature shot are his Snake shots.

Background[]

Kaidō is mostly known for his "Snake Shot" (derived from the "Buggy Whip Shot"), a curving forehand that keeps his opponents running. He later develops the "Boomerang Snake," which is a shot that swerves out of bounds, around the net pole, and back in bounds. He developed the shot under mentor Sadaharu Inui's advice and by working with him in doubles. He usually plays the Singles 3 position, though he is most often placed in one of the Doubles slots.

In Genius 379, the last chapter of the manga, Kaidō is seen as a third year and the new captain of Seigaku, with Momoshiro as his vice-captain. Their rivalry has, apparently, somewhat mellowed with time. He lives with his brother, his mother, and his father. He and his brother bear a striking resemblance to their father.

Appearance[]

As an athlete, the first thing to note about Kaido is his long arms and legs, which gives him a great reach and allows him to perform high-level shots such as the Snake. He has short dark brown hair and brown eyes (black hair and green eyes in the anime).
