Takeshi Konomi, the creator of the manga The Prince of Tennis and a budding singer, held a concert at the DMM VR Theater in Yokohama to benefit the victims of the April earthquakes in Kumamoto. He appeared onstage along with several characters from The Prince of Tennis thanks to 3-D computer graphics and projection technology.Ryoma was the first character to take the stage, where he performed “Go” as a duet with Konomi. Thanks to offstage actors wearing motion capture suits, he also danced in sync with his creator. Konomi later teased Ryoma, calling him “Chibisuke” (“Shorty”), to Ryoma’s annoyance.
