Shusuke Fuji is a third year student at Seishun Academy, and is approaching fifteen years of age at the beginning of the series. He is given the title 'tensai', or genius, owing to his tactical skill on the tennis court. He is in the same class as Eiji Kikumaru, and is Eiji's good friend. Fuji is a leap year baby (his birthday is on February 29), and thus he can only properly celebrate his birthday once every four years. Fuji is cheerful and easygoing, with a penchant for playfully teasing those around him.
Fuji grew up in Chiba, where he became friends with Kojirou Saeki, the current vice-captain of the Rokkaku Chuu Tennis Club. Later on, he moved to Tokyo and entered Seigaku.
Fuji has an older sister, Yumiko, and a younger brother, Yuuta Fuji. Fuji is particularly protective of Yuuta (probably to make up for former disagreements that almost brought them apart), as is displayed throughout the series, as he actively tries to "destroy" and punish those who have defeated his younger brother or have made him go through something dangerous (as proved by how differently he treats Jiroh Akutagawa from Hyoutei and Hajime Mizuki from Saint Rudolph; he holds no personal grudge towards Jiroh, who won fairly against Yuuta, but resents Mizuki for a long time after seeing how he treated his brother as someone expendable to ensure his team's victory), with the exception of the aforementioned Jiroh and Ryoma Echizen. It's later revealed that Fuji felt guilty for a long time since he couldn't bring himself to tell yuuta that he was sorry for all that he went through.
Yuuta isn't also the only person he's been protective of in this sense; in the anime, he is very upset when Kippei Tachibana is injured in his match against Akaya Kirihara. He is also upset when Akaya Kirihara insults the two schools (Seigaku and Fudomine); Kirihara says that both teams have retired captains because they aren't practicing (this is due to Seigaku captain Kunimitsu Tezuka and Fudomine captain Tachibana both being injured).
Fuji is often seen with a calm and content expression on his face, with his eyes seemingly closed from lightly smiling. However, when he is excited or provoked, or when playing seriously, Fuji reveals his sharp eyes: they are blue in the anime and light brown in the manga.
Fuji differs from almost every other character in Prince of Tennis in that he enjoys playing around when his opponent is pushing himself to the limit, giving many the impression that either Fuji is a fearsome sadist or that he doesn't really care about tennis itself. There are few people that can wake the sleeping genius in Fuji and force him to play seriously, and these few are either nationally-ranked or extremely talented tennis players. Seigaku captain Kunimitsu Tezuka, Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku regular Akaya Kirihara, Seigaku regular Ryoma Echizen, and Shitenhouji captain Kuranosuke Shiraishi have been acknowledged by Fuji to be actual challenges.
