U-17 Camp[]

U-17 Camp Revolution[]

Kaji Kazena after having his career wrecked by Oni

Kaji after being beaten by Oni to take once again his No. 5 spot in the team

Kaji is first seen on the 1st Stringer's coach arriving from their Foreign Expedition as the All-Japan Junior No.5, agreeing with the twins Mutsu Yuuma and Mutsu Yuuho that the sound of the 2nd Stringers playing tennis could be heard nearby. Representative No.1 Byoudouin Houou then tells No.s 11-20 to have as much fun as they like against their 2nd Stringer challengers and the Top 10 representatives make their way to the main courts expecting to meet up with the No.s 11-20 later.

He is then seen with the rest of the Top 10 members of the 1st Stringers arriving at the main courts where the rest of the camp await to hear the results of the other 1st Stringers matches of their challenges from the 2nd Stringers in the Camp's Foreign Expedition Group Challenge. He along with the rest of the camp are shocked to see Middle Schoolers return instead of the rest of the Top 20 as the camp find out that No.s 11-19 are replaced by Middle Schoolers.

Kaji and Oni Juujiro then have a match for the No.5 position in the evening revealing that Kaji was only the temporary No.5 and that Oni was the initial No.5. Oni completely overwhelms him quickly and takes back his badge back making Kaji a 2nd Stringer.

U-17 World Cup Group League[]

In the anime, Kaji is seen wearing a Japanese representative uniform when Byodoin gathers all players scolding them after the match against Greece. It is unknown why Kaji is there but it is presumed that he already arrived right after the Greek match to replace Tono for the rest of the tournament.

U-17 World Cup Quarter-Finals[]

Kaji formally replacing Tono's spot in the World Cup

During the U-17 World Cup Group League, Atsukyo Tono had his knee injury worsened after receiving the Stephanopoulos' Knee Splitter of Prayer. Because of this, he had then been unable to play for the rest of the tournament and became a member of the medical team. Later in the start of the U-17 World Cup Quarter-Finals, Kaji has served as replacement for Tono, now holding the number 8 spot in Japan's U-17 High School Roster.

Prior to U-17 World Cup Finals[]

Before the finals against Spain, the Japan U-17 team had decided to hold an intra-team tournament to determine who would play in the finals. Kaji chose to play in Singles 3, however he was utterly defeated by Kanata Irie, hence losing his opportunity to play in the finals.

Playing Style and Techniques[]

U-17 Stats [1][]

Speed - 7: He has absolute faith in his speed, but when faced with the presence of Oni, he had no ability to answer him because he could not see through to his real level.

Power - 5: His power is average. While away on the expedition, it seems his power rose considerably, however in his match with Oni, it was completely useless.

Stamina - 5: Before the expidition, Stamina was an insufficiency he was tasked to work on. However, after he returned home, it seemed he has conquered this problem. However, his body fat percentage seems to have increased some. It would seem while he was abroad, he destroyed his body balance through poor eating habits.

Mental - 4: He has an keen perception, but on the other hand, his weakness is that his power of concentration drops when faced against an opponent he isn't suited for.

Technique - 5: He has a vast array of skills in his repertoire. While on the expedition, it seems like he worked out a new technique too. However, he was defeated before ever being able to show it.
