Ryō Kisarazu (木更津 亮, Kisarazu Ryō) is the older twin brother of St. Rudolph's Atsushi. During the beach volleyball games with Seigaku, Ryō accidentally stripped his partner Inui Sadaharu's shorts, embarrassing both Inui and himself.

Playing Style and Techniques[]

Not much is known about his playstyle, as he is never shown to be playing for a long time on-screen (with the anime-only Jr. Senbatsu arc being the only time we get a snippet of his skills). He is skilled enough that when Mizuki of St. Rudolph went to Rokkaku to scout players for his school, seeing Ryo play impressed him and he immediately tried to recruit him (and accidentally ended up recruiting his twin brother Atsushi instead). He played Doubles in the first two rounds of the Kanto tournament and in a practice match against Seigaku, but against Seigaku and Higa, he was assigned to play Singles, implying that he's skilled at both Doubles and Singles or he plays Singles in serious tournament matches.

His only known technique, according to Inui's notes, is the Sky High Volley, and according to the databooks, he's a serve-and-volley player. He holds the Analyst position in his tennis club, which may imply that he's an expert at it.

The anime shows that he is one step ahead of his twin brother, recognizing when he feints and defeating him in a Singles match.
