Background[]
Tanaka Youhei is a regular that only appears in the anime as a Josei Shounan regular and is the elder of the Tanaka twins, in which they prefer to be called a Unit. He has superior hearing ability and body vision, making he and his twin the perfect doubles team. However, they tend to be overconfident and underestimate their opponents.
Appearance[]
He is often mistaken as a girl due to his appearance. He has short purple/pink hair with a high-lighted stripe on his bangs. He also has turquois eyes, is relatively short (around Ryoma's height) and wears a black choker around his neck.
Etymology[]
- The name Yōhei means "ocean" (洋) (yō) and "flat, broad, level, even, peaceful" (平) (hei).
- Yōhei's surname Tanaka means "field, rice paddy" (田) (ta) and "middle" (中) (naka), which literally means "dweller in the rice fields" altogether.
Trivia[]
- Yōhei and his brother only exist in the anime. In the manga, he is not on the Josei Shonan's regular team sheet.
- In the movie, Atobe's Gift, Yōhei and his younger brother, Kōhei Tanaka, are shown to possess an certain level of vocal musical talent as they held a concert together at the Super Tennis Festival.
