*****************************************************
Eiji is the youngest of five siblings. He has two older brothers and two older sisters. He also lives with his mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, and his sister's dog and his mom's parakeet, making a grand total of eleven members in the household. His name, however, means 'excellent second son'.
Eiji acts like a cat, which shows in his acrobatics and how he likes to tack a "Nya" (the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow) at the end of his sentences. This is especially evident in the chibi episodes where in the TeniPuri Family stories he is the family's pet cat.
Eiji calls Ryoma "Occhibi", "little guy" in the dub, while the others call him Echizen.

********************GOLDEN PAIR!*****************

~~~~~~~

The Golden Pair met in their first year at Seigaku. In the manga, Eiji was a flashy singles player and found Oishi's play style boring. When he challenged Oishi to a match, he lost and couldn't figure it out. Retreating to the green bins at the park - a place the Golden Pair always go to when they need to think things over after losing a match - he saw Oishi practicing there. Eiji then told Oishi he would play doubles with him until he was able to defeat Oishi at tennis. In the anime, Eiji met Oishi by bumping into him in his first day of school after Shusuke told Eiji that Oishi was a nice person, then developed quickly a strong admiration towards him (he even defended Oishi when he found some teammates spreading ill rumors about him), and finally asked Oishi to be his partner.

During their match against Masaharu Niou and Hiroshi Yagyuu from Rikkaidai Fuzoku, Oishi (who at that time was injured) thinks Kikumaru has already surpassed him and doesn't need to play doubles with him anymore. After Oishi gives up his spot to Ryoma prior to the Nationals and temporarily retires, Eiji is left without a partner; he swears that he'll never play doubles again if not with Oishi, therefore he starts a very rigorous training to overcome his flaws as a player and prove to Oishi that he's not a burden. In Seigaku's first match against Higa Chuu, he plays in the Singles 2 spot against Kai Yuuichirou, and eventually wins 7-6. During the match against Hyoutei, Eiji and Oishi are back as a doubles pair.

He is a friendly, sweet-tempered and outgoing character and the youngest of a large family. So unlike most of the characters, Eiji is usually referred to by his given name.
