## Personality

Genjirō is a caring individual, both with his players and as a father. He encourages his players to play to their fullest but not as far as to overexert themselves. He is fair and open-minded, he tries to let everyone play at least once throughout their high school careers but it isn’t possible in real games so he hosts a game every once in a while where it’s just the Rakūnbara team and everyone gets to play.

## Background

Arisawa played as a wing spiker when he was in high school, he also attended Rakūnbara Acadamy. He had wished to go professional but had to change that dream when he was forced to retire because of an injury.

He eventually becomes the coach for the Rakūnbara Boys Volleyball Team.

## Relationships

### Rakūnbara Academy

* Erina Chihaya: Genjirou recruited Erina to be the boy's volleyball team manager when she was in her first year at Rakūnbara Academy as he thought having a manager would help the boys focus more. At first, the young girl denied his offer as she was already apart of student council and wasn’t sure about joining as she really had no idea about anything volleyball-related. In the end she decided it was a good opportunity and was growing bored of her current postion within student council, she accepted Genjirou's offer to his happiness. Genjirou veiws himself as sort of a father figure to Erina as she had lost her father at a young age and grew up without having a father figure around her. He very much appricates Erina being able to control the boys and take care of them when he's not around to deal with their antics.
* Rakūnbara Academy: Having played for the same team when he was young, Genjirou has great respect for the boys volleyball team as well as his almamater. He began coaching the boys volleyball team after he sustained an injury and wasn't able to go professinal as his orginal carrer choice played out. He has seen many amazing players through his eighteen years coaching but his most precious ones are the current memebers. He tries to let everyone play at least once throughout their high school careers but it isn’t possible in real games so he hosts a game every once in a while where it’s just the Rakūnbara team and everyone gets to play.
