this has been sitting in my drafts for god knows how long, and given that i have a hetamyu url i should be posting about it more. Anyway! As the local hetamyu and tenimyu lover, it's time for:
HETAMYU CAST MEMBERS IN TENIMYU PROPAGANDA
for the unfamiliar, Prince of Tennis is a classic sports manga from the early '00s that chronicles middle school tennis prodigy Echizen Ryoma and his tennis club's journey to win the national tournament. it spawned a hugely successful series of musicals that launched the careers of countless 2.5D and tokusatsu actors, including half the actors in the Hetamyu cast!
Tenimyu has to date ran 4 seasons: the 1st premiered in 2003 and the 4th season is currently running! All seasons cover the same storylines, but the actors and and some of the songs and/or the instrumental/vocal arrangements for the songs change with every season. Most of the Hetamyu cast who were alumni appeared in the Tenimyu 1st and 2nd.
From 1st season, we have:
Juri
Juri, who plays France in Hetamyu, plays the aggressive but talented delinquent Akutsu Jin in Tenimyu! He originated the role in 1st season during the run of Side Yamabuki feat. St. Rudolph Gakuen in 2005 when he was 24, and continued to appear as a guest in succeeding 1st season myus.
I can't find a clip of his solo song on youtube, so here's Yuki vs Ijii (Courage vs Will), the song that accompanies his character's match against Ryoma. Forgive the crusty video quality, the 00s were a hard time.
Here's a mirror link on the Wayback Machine, because Marvelous Inc (Tenimyu's production company) hates fun and has been copyright striking Tenimyu 1st clips left and right for the past month, so I have no idea how long the videos I embed will stay up lol
Isogai Ryuko
Ryuko, our myu America, portrayed the genius player Chitose Senri! He was first actor to do the role as part of the Shitenhouji A cast, and he debuted in the Treasure Match Shitenhouji feat. Hyotei Gakuen musical in 2007 when he was 20. He doesn't have a solo song, but he has a duet with Tezuka, one of the principal characters: Hyakuren Jitoku no Kiwami vs Saiki Kampatsu no Kiwami (Pinnacle of Hard Work vs Pinnacle of Great Wisdom).

Yamaoki Yuuki
Okki played Yanagi Renji, one of Rikkai's best players, in Tenimyu. He was the second actor to play the role in 1st, replacing Ono Kento, and he debuted in the Final Match Rikkai Part 1 when he was 18 years old. Here's him singing Sago e no Canon, his character duet with his doubles partner Kirihara Akaya, from Final Match Rikkai:

From 2nd season:
Ueda Yusuke
Yusuke played Tachibana Kippei, Fudomine's dependable captain, in Tenimyu 2nd! He debuted in Seigaku vs Fudomine in 2011 when he was 20 years old. Unfortunately I can no longer upload any clips from Tenimyu 2nd to youtube because of copyright blocking me right out of the gate, so I've linked to a clip of Kejime, his solo from Seigaku vs Shitenhouji (aka the song that should've bagged him the role of Germany from the very beginning):
Hirose Daisuke
Daichan played the twins Ryou and Atsushi Kisarazu! He first appeared in Seigaku vs St. Rudolph~Yamabuki in 2011 as Atsushi Kisarazu when he was 20, and then debuted as Ryou in Seigaku vs Rokkaku in 2012. Unfortunately neither of the twins are major characters, but they do have parts in their team songs! I've linked Rokkaku's team song, Court de Aou (warning for flashing lights):
ROU (Kikuchi Takuya)
ROU played Hyotei's aloof genius player with an iconic deep voice, Oshitari Yuushi (my fav)! He debuted in Seigaku vs Hyotei in 2011 when he was 20. Even back then, he was an incredible singer, and the production certainly knew it; here's him singing an acoustic solo version of Hyotei's theme song, Koori no Emperor, in Dream Live 2011
Sugie Taishi
Taishi, our myu China, played Hitouji Yuuji, a player from Shitenhouji known for his vocal impressions and one half of a *canon* gay couple! He debuted in Seigaku vs Shitenhouji in 2013. Here's him singing his duet with Konjiki Koharu, his character's doubles partner and boyfriend, Geijutsu teki na Tennis:
Honorable mention: The first actor who played Germany in Hetamyu, Omi Yoichiro, was also in Tenimyu 2nd as Mori Tatsunori, one of Tachibana's (Yusuke) teammates!
And that's it! I'm sure there are Hetamyu fans here who are curious about what other musicals the cast members have been in, so I hope this helps XD And if your interest in Tenimyu was piqued..... I have a guide here

15 Questions on Prince of Tennis
1. Favourite Character
oh boi i have a lot
-Atobe is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I love everything about his character, from how extra he can be to how surprisingly kind he is (espeicially to his teammates). Like he threw Kabaji a whole ass surprise festival just so he can see his sister again! He also spends his allowance on his teammates. Then in one of the Npot episodes (i think the specials? I can’t remember), despite him being an asshole about it he did actually truly miss his team (mostly Kabaji ofc bc that’s his best friend) after the losers were to “go home” from the U-17 camp. He’s such a narcissist though but he can back it up. He has every right to flaunt, even if he can be obnoxious with it lol. I also love how like in his match against Irie, how he just looks so villainous despite us, the audience, supposed to be cheering for him. like I love that Konomi still draws him as a villian.
Rich kid, asshole, paint me as a villain
-Niou is my second favorite, i love the mystery behind this boy. I love how on his wiki page there are like vague things there and you have to just leave it to your imagination. like “He likes to spread rumors (Mostly about Sanada)” LIKE WHAT KIND OF RUMORS? did he pee his pants on the court once? or like is he secretly bad at tennis kind of rumors? LOL I also love how weird he is. He’s neat.
-Sanada is my third favorite character! I think @missolineaux said it best in their post here x ! (also i took this from them) like I couldn’t have said it any better myself! Sanada is just AMAZING!
-honorable mentions: Kenya (i love this clumsy fool, he’s silly and very cute) and Yukimura (a beautiful boy)...you know what, all of Rikkai.
2. Least liked character
-Ryoga and Ryoma: i don’t really like either of them that much. Ryoga is an asshole especially with what’s going down in the manga rn. You can’t trust a dirty orange peel eater anyway.
-and Ryoma, to me is just a very bland main character. like I want to like him, but there’s nothing there for me to like.
3. Favourite Team
-RIKKAI DAI! I literally love EVERYONE on this team? I always love the powerhouse teams. Hyotei is my second favorite.
4. Least liked team
-Rokkaku? they don’t get a lot of screen time. so Imma say them.
5. Favourite Ship
-This question is illegal. are you kidding me? All the ships are so good.
Alright I love
Atobe x Sanada.
Sanada x Yukimura
Atobe x Tezuka,
Yagyuu x Niou
Marui x Jirou
Shiraishi x Yukimura x Fuji (take this as you will lol)
Kirihara x Renji (both platonically and romantically)
THE LIST GOES ON
6. Least liked ship
any incest.
7. Favourite Arc
• Senbatsu Trianing Camp! I know it’s a filler but OH MY GOD. it was beautiful. it’s how I started shipping Sanada and Atobe in the first place. AND THEN the part where Kirihara was like fighting his inner demons. BEAUTIFUL! i love this arc.
For canon arcs, I’ll go with seigaku’s first matches with Hyotei. and then Their first matches against Rikkai in the same tournament arc...i think??
8. Least liked Arc
-uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh N/A
9. Favourite Movie/Ova
Atobe’s gift and that British Castle Movie! im honestly going to have to rewatch these when I get the chance bc I don’t remember them too well lmao.
10. Least liked Movie/Ova
• Two Samurais. Sorry.
11. Favourite Match
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH I can never list one of anything LOL
Atobe Vs Tezuka
Sanada Vs Tezuka
Yukimura VS Tezuka (in the manga)
honorable mentions:
Niou and Yagyuu vs Eiji and Oishi
Kirihara vs Fuji
Also Fuji and Atobe vs those Australian dudes bc that had me FUCKED UP.
12. Least liked match/a match you think should have gone differently
should have gone differently: Yukimura vs Tezuka (but probably bc im bias LOL)
least liked match: i can’t think of one tbh. at least not off the top of my head.
13. A match you'd like to see
-Sanada VS Atobe
-Shiraishi vs Atobe
-Hiyoshi vs Kaidoh (or any of the future captains going against eachother)
14. An interaction you'd like to see
• Plant Trio plotting someone's murder. (this was @missolineaux answer and I’m not changing it)
• Yukimura apologizing to Sanada for what happened at the hospital (canonly recognised as something Yukimura deeply regrets) (this is also their answer LOL )
-More Niou and Atobe interactions I love them.
15. How do you feel about adding Aliens?
I won’t be surprised by anything at this point.
