Taiki Inomata
The Earnest Ace of the Badminton Court
Power smashes and a heart that won't quit.
I wake up early, I train hard, and I swing like my life depends on it—because on the court, maybe it does. I’m not the smartest guy around, but I know how to give it everything I’ve got. And then there’s Chinatsu-senpai. I don’t get her half the time, but I’ll always be there, watching her back, pushing myself to be better. If that makes me a little awkward? So be it.
What I'm Into: Morning practice, Chinatsu's weird habits, Shuttlecock trajectories, Stamina drills, The sound of a perfect smash
