Background / History

Yukimura is Rikkai Dai’s composed captain and one of its “Big Three,” alongside Sanada Genichirou and Yanagi Renji. When Chiba Yun Chuan’s victory over Atobe becomes known, Yukimura joins Yanagi and Sanada in assessing Hyotei as a serious threat to Rikkai Dai’s championship ambitions. 12

Before the Kanto Tournament, he presents a calm, united front with Sanada, reaffirming their goal of securing Rikkai Dai’s second consecutive National Tournament title. He remains composed when Chiba provokes him directly, answering that they will settle the matter on the court. 59

During Hyotei and Rikkai Dai’s Kanto Tournament clash, Yukimura notices a change in Chiba when Hyotei’s doubles team begins to struggle. Chiba’s unconsciously released mental aura intimidates him despite Yukimura’s own exceptional Mental Power, making him recognize an immense gap between them. 68 69

Yukimura faces Chiba in Singles 1 after Rikkai Dai’s early lead is overturned. Chiba dominates their basic-skills exchange, but Yukimura refuses to concede, activates the State of Selflessness, and eventually uses Metsu Go Kan. Chiba breaks free, turns the technique against him, and wins 6–1. 101 104 107 109 111

After the defeat, Yanagi proposes avoiding Chiba in the National Tournament to maximize Rikkai Dai’s overall chance of victory. Yukimura struggles with the implication that he must avoid his rival, but ultimately agrees to put the team’s championship prospects ahead of his personal pride. 149

He nevertheless meets Chiba again in the National Tournament final, now at professional level and armed with newly created Secret Balls. His techniques repeatedly test Chiba’s Domain, but Chiba ultimately defeats him 6–0 after using Lost Illusion and Otherworld Tennis. Yukimura accepts the loss as proof that he has a new height to pursue. 197 198 200 204

Appearance

Yukimura has messy hair and wears a headband during matches. His on-court presence is described as powerful even when he speaks quietly. 97

• Often carries himself with a calm, composed expression. 59 95
• His eyes can shine with golden light when his fighting spirit and aura intensify. 51
• His State of Selflessness manifests as a bright aura around his body. 104

Personality

Yukimura is proud, confident, and intensely committed to Rikkai Dai’s success. He expects victory from himself and his teammates, but does not collapse when confronted with a stronger opponent; Chiba’s superiority instead drives him to fight harder and seek further growth. 98 106

He generally remains controlled under provocation. When Chiba predicts Rikkai Dai’s downfall, Yukimura calmly defers their answer to the court rather than allowing Sanada’s anger to dictate the exchange. 59

His pride is tempered by responsibility as captain. Though he desperately wants a rematch with Chiba, he accepts Yanagi’s plan to avoid Chiba if doing so gives Rikkai Dai the best chance to win as a team. 149

Abilities & Skills

Mental Power

Yukimura possesses exceptional Mental Power, which becomes the foundation for Metsu Go Kan and his later Secret Balls.

• His mental aura is strong enough for Akutsu to identify it from the sidelines. 101
• Reaches Mental Power level 9 by the National Tournament final. 200
• Uses Mental Power to reinforce the power of his Secret Balls. 202 203

Metsu Go Kan

A Mental Tennis Skill that deprives an opponent of the five senses.

• First deprives Chiba of touch, causing Chiba to hit an out ball. 107
• Can extend to sight and hearing, leaving its target unable to react on court. 108
• Its effect can be resisted or escaped through overwhelming Mental Power; Chiba breaks free and uses the same principle against Yukimura. 109
• Yukimura refines the technique between tournaments, though Chiba counters it with Lost Illusion in their rematch. 204

State of Selflessness

Yukimura can enter the State of Selflessness to elevate his physical capabilities and rally speed.

• His version is portrayed as stronger than Sanada’s and pushes him near the professional tier. 104
• He uses it in both matches against Chiba but cannot match Chiba’s greater mastery. 104 105
• Later combines it with the Limit of Thousand Forgings. 201

Limit of Thousand Forgings

A gate within the State of Selflessness that doubles the power, spin, and trajectory of shots.

• Activated against Chiba during the National Tournament final. 201
• Used in conjunction with Secret Ball: Purple Bear, though Chiba’s return pierces Yukimura’s racket. 201

Secret Balls

A series of self-created techniques developed after Yukimura’s Kanto Tournament loss to counter Chiba’s abilities.

• Golden Bird — Scores against Chiba in their National Tournament rematch; its evolved form is later used with Mental Power and the Limit of Thousand Forgings. 198 202
• Yellow Scale — Designed to resist interference from Chiba Domain. 199
• White Tiger — Breaks through Chiba Domain and earns Yukimura a point. 200
• Purple Bear — Used alongside the Limit of Thousand Forgings; its power is insufficient to stop Chiba’s return. 201
