Minami, Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi Minami is the captain of Toyotama High School and one of the two aces (who Sakuragi calls "chick-face" after the bird), the other being Kishimoto. He is known as the "Ace Killer" and lives up to this nickname by hitting Rukawa in the face with his elbow as he once did to Kenji Fujima of Shoyo , leaving him with a black eye for the whole 2nd half of the game. Minami however makes up for it later, as the night before the match against Sannoh, he gives Rukawa an ointment to help his eye heal and warns him about Sawakita.
