RYOMA! THE PRINCE OF TENNIS <DECIDE> is a new feature film about tennis prodigy Ryoma Echizen. It is based on the acclaimed manga series, The Prince of Tennis, and its sequel, The New Prince of Tennis, written and illustrated by renowned manga author Takeshi Konomi.

Inspired by his tennis champion father, Ryoma is determined to take his game to the next level and train in the US. But in the middle of an intense tennis battle to save his classmate Sakuno from dangerous villains, they somehow find themselves transported to the past, just as Ryoma's father is about to face his final championship match at the US Open – when he was mysteriously forced to retire. The innovative 3D digital animation brings the magnificent and colorful world of The Prince of Tennis to life on the big screen in this captivating film.

Over 60 million copies of The Prince of Tennis manga have been sold since the series debuted in 1999 in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. The sequel rekindled the series in 2009 in Shueisha's Jump Square magazine.
