Like all of the Midoriyama members, Kongawa’s form and ball control is impressive; he participated in an exercise using a metal pole as a replacement for a “wall” for practice, showing that he has confidence in his control and precision. He seems to be mostly a Doubles player and is at least Kanto level, but the team seems to have some confidence in his Singles skills, since he was placed at the Singles 2 spot against Seigaku. His partner is always Tsuta.
