Henri and his partner, Peter Ranbiell played Doubles 2 during the Group League against Japan. Their opponents were Ryuji Omagari and Eishiro Kite. As shown in the manga, Henri comments that Omagari moves like a ninja with his Nitoryuu. Henri tries to outsmart him, however, Kite was able to return the shot with his Teleportation Step. However, Henri notices the weakness of the step as he returns the ball quickly, making Kite unable to make a second teleportation step. Peter commends Henri saying that he is as always dependable and then strategizes once again how Omagari and Kite can be defeated. Eventually, Henri and Peter wins the match easily, 6-3.

In the anime, Henri and the other representatives had only cameo appearances. First was their arrival during the Pre-World Cup and second was during Amadeus' match against Akutsu in which they were seen watching.
