Personality

Atobe is a diva, arrogant, conceited, spoiled and filthy rich. He is also an exceptional student and a very talented tennis player. But it's not even that one forgives him his attitude because he really is that good... Atobe Keigo is captivating, he pulls you in, and somewhere along the way, you simply end up believing that the adoration is nothing more than what he deserves.

Atobe Keigo is, to put it simply, larger than life. He's gorgeous, talented, intelligent, knows it, and flaunts it. He believes that he is the best and that therefore he deserves the best. He's universally adored at his school, where he rules like a shinning prince. Yes, this all means that he is incredibly egotistical, arrogant and something of a diva; and while these traits are generally considered unattractive (specially in excess), Atobe Keigo somehow makes it work.

Perhaps one is willing to forgive his numerous conceits because he really is that good. More than likely, though, people (us, the fans of Prince of Tennis, included) people not only forgive but relish these traits for the same reason that we do it with pop stars and other celebrities: Atobe is not an arrogant, talented 15 year-old boy; he's a star, he knows it and behaves like one, with all the positive and negative things that that implies. And the rest of the world loves him for it.

In addition to natural talent, intelligence and good looks, a factor that definitely came to play in shaping Atobe's personality is his wealth. As the only son of a successful businessman, Atobe was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His family is ridiculously wealthy, and he's used to an extravagant, opulent lifestyle. He's used to being waited on and to being able to have anything he wants, either because of wealth or because of his talent.

About Hiroki Aiba

Hiroki Aiba (相葉　弘樹, Aiba Hiroki) is a Japanese actor, dancer and singer. He is best known for his role as Shusuke Fuji in The Prince of Tennis musical series, Tenimyu, and the live film adaptation. He was also part of a young men's 3-member streetdancing group called Brights, which was disbanded in 2004. His current most known role was the part of Ryūnosuke Ikenami/ShinkenBlue in the 33rd Super Sentai series, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.

Aiba was a former member of the disbanded three-men streetdancing group called Brights. The other two members included Atsushi Koga and Takuya, who would also happened to later play Akutagawa Jirou in Tenimyu with Aiba. The group had to break up because Aiba had to join Avex (the agency he's currently with) after he won in the Junon Boy contest. There were originally 4 people in the group, but one dropped out, so that left Aiba, Takuya, and Atsushi, in Brights. At that time, Aiba was still an amateur at dancing and he's stated in past blog entries that he owes a lot to Takuya, who was already an experienced dancer by then, for teaching him various things.
