Karupin (カルピン Karupin) (Kalpin in the English Dub) is a himalayan cat owned by the Echizen family which Ryoma loves and is very attached to. Karupin is just as attached to Ryoma.

Personality[]

Karupin is often seen sleeping or just roaming around the Echizen household. He is mostly seen in Ryoma's bedroom sleeping together with him. Karupin is also seen to be very mischievous and quite smart in episode 27 as he was aware that Ryoma has accidentally packed his favorite toy and even followed Ryoma to school.

This caused Ryoma to be worried and he started looking for him around the neighborhood. Karupin was found and returned by Momoshiro and the Seigaku regulars (Tezuka, Oishi, and Kikumaru) in the end. When Ryoma was invited to play in the USA Open, Karupin hides inside Ryoma's bags and followed Ryoma to America.

Nanako Meino - Nanako cares about Karupin just much as Ryoma does. She is the one who takes care of Karupin when Ryoma is at school or attending a tennis tournament. Karupin seem to love her back.
