Kawamura is an aggressive baseliner, mostly using his power to overwhelm his opponents which is a style called Power Play.
"Burning!"
A state which occurs whenever Kawamura holds a racket. He gets pumped up, giving his shots more power and increasing his skill level.
Burning Serve (バーニングサーブ)
Burning Serve
An extremely fast serve that Kawamura uses when he is in his "burning" state.
A very powerful maneuver that uses 120% of an arm's strength or power. Originally from Ishida Gin, copied by his brother, Tetsu Ishida of Fudomine, Kawamura began using Hadoukyū after being on its receiving end in a match between Seigaku and Fudomine.The technique is very dangerous to the arms of both the user and receiver.
Hadoukyuu
Similar to the original and one-handed Hadoukyū but with both arms. This lowers the risk of arm injuries caused by the original Hadoukyū by balancing the arm strength but reduces the power of the shot due to a smaller follow through.
Similar to the original Hadoukyū but performed while running or dashing towards the net. This strengthens the shot, because the momentum of the run or dash concentrates all the power of the body into one shot, but can be only used once or may break the wrist.
Final hadoukyu.
This is a form of Hadoukyū that hasn't actually been officially named by Takeshi Konomi. Kawamura has only used Final Hadoukyū once, during his match with Ishida Gin. After losing 23 points in a row and getting down 5-0 40-0, he uses this shot with the inspiration of Akutsu. "Final Hadoukyū's" true power level is unknown, but it was said by Gin himself that it was greater than his 108th style hadoukyū. When Kawamura used this shot, he injured Gin's wrist and forced him to forfeit. This form involves using the Tennis racket frame, similar to Wild Ball, and it was also thrown further away than normal serves, due to his unconsciousness.
108 Hadoukyū
During his doubles match with Kabaji against Danji Date and Rikiya Ban, Kawamura showed he was capable of hitting a 108th level Hadoukyū, which was capable of shattering the metal light fixture above the court.
Anime Only[]
Similar to the original Hadoukyū but performed while jumping for a smash. This makes the shot extremely difficult to return. Can be performed using the original or two-handed Hadoukyū.
