Point 1: If you like the manga and the anime, but hate the annoying girl (the coaches grand-daughter) and/or dislike the coach, you are in luck because both those characters have been cut. Point 2: Kanata Hongo was the best choice for this kind of role. He always does his best acting when his character has a secret strength. Sometimes they are smart, sometimes secretly evil, sometimes secretly strong or a punk, and in this case, because he is a little short and young, he deceives his opponents.
