Just a quick question; what is Niou's eye color? I've never actually seen it up close, and coloring him is a pain now. Does anyone have any idea?
How can I fall in love with only words? Words and pictures, grainy and compressed? A jaypeg love is truly for the birds. You'd have to wonder whether I'm repressed. But love it is, through all the bits and bytes, For someone who's like no one else I've met: Tender, charming, bright, king of my nights, All I've ever dreamed of, on the Net.

This thread wasn't created just to find out Niou's eye colour, eh?
Well here's a little information I took off the untrustworthy Wiki:
Masaharu Niou
Third-year Masaharu Niou (仁王 雅治, Niō Masaharu?) is thought to be one of the scariest people on the court because of his tennis style. An all rounder, he specializes in trick play, hence the nickname "The Trickster". He can guess an opponent's move about 10 moves ahead. Niou uses black wristbands that supposedly tap his potential and physical strength, and he refuses to take them off in any circumstances. In the manga, he pulls a switch with his doubles partner, Yagyuu, and the two impersonate each other's appearance, persona and play style for half the game. Against Fuji in Singles 2 at the Nationals finals, Niou completely simulates Tezuka. Niou's reflection completely reflects Tezuka, able to utilize all of his techniques except the Zero-Shiki Serve. Behind 6-5 to Fuji, Niou stops his simulation of Tezuka and instead simulates Shiraishi, the only player who has defeated Fuji thus far in the manga. However, Fuji decides to counter by unveiling his 6th Counter, Hoshi Hanabi, defeating Niou 7 games to 5.

Special Moves/Shots
Meteor Drive
By launching the ball that high in the air, it creates a super high lob shot which hard to return by the opponent. He never used the technique in reality but it is seen in Inui's nightmare (he dreamed about Fuji losing to Niou 0-5, then he used Meteor Drive).
Copy/Illusion
Niou has the ability to copy the playstyle of any player he wants. Not only he copys the Moves of the players but their complete playstyle and appearance creating the Illusion his opponent is facing another person, it was stated by Fuji that this technique is unable to copy a certain move from the copyed player.

Haha well, discussing about Niou's shoe size isn't really off-topic I guess, but perhaps posting about his tennis moves would seem a little more on-topic ^_^
