Seiichi Yukimura is the captain of Rikkai Dai. He is known as one of the of Three Demons and as The Child Of God due to his strength on the tennis court. Despite his strength, he has a very feminine and frail appearance. He is hospitalized for much of the season due to a neurological disease (the most probable disease is the Guillain-Barré syndrome: a disease which causes paralysis in the limbs). The surgery he must undergo to cure it only has a fifty percent survival rate. Nonetheless, he takes the chance and survives.
History
He is an undefeated player until he loses to Echizen Ryoma when he uses the Pinnacle of Perfection in the National Tournament.
Shortly after the Nationals, the Rikkai Daigaku team were invited to the U-17 camp along with several other middle school teams. At the camp, Seiichi and all the other middle schoolers are tricked into playing a doubles tie-breaker style game against their friends. He is tricked into playing his close friend Sanada whom he defeats 7-1. As a result, Sanada gets sent with the other losers to the mountains while Seiichi ends up playing and defeating all his High School opponents in his matches and advances to the 6th Court.
Personality
Outside of the court, Yukimura is very kind and courteous towards other people. However, once he steps inside the court he has strong willpower and a rather stern, brutally honest attitude. He is very strict with his team and refuses to lose as both a captain and a player.
Tennis Styles/Techniques
Yukimura is a counterpuncher, as stated by Konomi Takeshi. He returns every opponent's shots even the every techniques no matter what. As he does this he takes away opponent's main 5 senses to which Kintarou commented, "It's like your body no longer wants to cross the net or move at all." It seems that only achieving the Pinnacle of Perfection is the only way to overcome it because it seemed like Ryoma got all of his senses back after he achieved Pinnacle of Perfection.
