Shipping is the belief of romantic feelings, which may or may not be canon, for the Prince of Tennis series. The more dominant of the partners is referred to as "seme" and is named first in the pairing, while the lesser dominant is referred to as "uke" with their name being second, e.g. Perfect Pair, TezukaxFuji - though you can always switch the order around, too. Shipping is generally used by the fanbase for fanfiction, fanart, doujinshi, etc.
The following are not legitimate couples, unless officially stated, but are created by the Prince of Tennis fans. Some of the pairings may offend others' beliefs, if so please do not bash.
