[TRIVIA]
The Prince of Tennis 10.5 Fanbook | Release Date: 11/02/2001
He has two states: his normal state, and his aggressive Burning state he enters when holding a racquet. In his normal state, he is described as being kind and gentle
He likes to invite his friends over to his house to play Monopoly or other games. He also tends to enter his Burning state while playing Monopoly
He developed his Burning state from his father
Konomi came up with his “burning” catchphrase since the phrase was popular at the time and to imply that Kawamura knows little English
He used to attend karate classes, but stopped after starting tennis. He was considered a formidable fighter, but would get too nervous during matches and was unable to yield results
Konomi was inspired to have him change into his Burning state from cases of feeble-minded people driving violently once they’re behind the wheel of a car
He and Fuji are doubles partners since they are the only two in Seigaku besides Oishi and Kikumaru that have the disposition to help each other in doubles matches
He is close with Akutsu’s mother, Yuuki
He states him shouting “burning” has no meaning
He states he does not know why his personality changes when he holds a racquet
When asked if his normal or Burning state is his true personality, he responds that both of them are
He is a fan of Lupin III and has nicknamed Fuji “Fujiko” after Fujiko Mine, the heroine of the series
When asked if he’s going to take over his father’s sushi shop, he states that he hasn’t thought about it
He is aware of his actions when he’s in his Burning state
His personality is described as someone who should understand their other side more to let their charms blossom
Konomi describes him as a “character you won’t dislike”. He wanted to have a player with a dual personality and with Kawamura being the last member he created, he wanted him to be someone no one would dislike
The Prince of Tennis 20.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2003
He keeps his room clean and actually tends to be meticulous
He has a strong sense of duty and humanity and highly values his friends
He’s described to be family-oriented and have many different sides to him
He likes high-end ingredients such as Matsutake mushrooms and salmon roe
He has a tendency to be reckless when he’s determined to win
His secondary sport would be judo
The Prince of Tennis 40.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2007
He’s described to be passionate and devoted and the type to love only one woman with all of his heart
In Genius 249, his training in the mountains with Momoshiro greatly increased his natural muscle mass. An old man who resided there had mistook him for an ogre
Konomi had wanted to depict his match against Ishida as the last match he would ever play

“Hey!” Ursula stage-whispered to Toshi, who was busy taking a reservation at the hostess station. Toshi gave her a wave, then an exasperated flick of her brow as she continued on the phone, politely confirming that, yes, the table for three on Tuesday night would be ready for them, and no they did not need to call on Tuesday to confirm.
“Gosh, your business voice is so cute,” Ursula said when Toshi finally hung up. Straightening her shoulders, Ursula mimicked: “We look forward to seeing you.”
“What can I say,” Toshi said, “I’m pretty good at getting down to business.”
"Ohh, nice.” Ursula bit back a smile. “I bet that’s what you tell all the girls.”
“Nope. Well, only a select few,” she said and wagged her brow. “What do you want, anyway?”
“Oh, I just wanted to come see my favorite person on this entire island, that’s all.”
Toshi smiled in spite of herself, a flush rising high on her cheeks.
“So tell your dad that I’m here to see him--”
“Oh shut up,” Toshi said, feigning disgust as she turned to busy herself with the table chart.
Ursula leaned in close behind her. “--and I’m gonna be hanging out at Kirakira!! tonight after the restaurant closes.”
Toshi stared at the reservation list, Ursula’s breath warm on her ear, handwritten names and times all blurring together as her heart fluttered.
She was in it. She was in it deep.
