Hidemi Kanazono is a male student from the series Rising Impact, known as a talent-limited but cunning golfer at Camelot Academy who later quits golf and unexpectedly becomes a comedian.
Hidemi Kanazono is the son of a sponsor of Camelot Academy, an elite golf school.
He enters the academy through his father’s influence and becomes involved in cheating, bullying dynamics, and eventually a modest personal change.
Hidemi’s father is a sponsor of Camelot Academy.
Because his father failed to become a professional golfer, he pushes his dream onto Hidemi, forcing him into the school.
Hidemi initially tries hard to live up to his father’s expectations.
However, he lacks the natural talent needed to become a top-level golfer.
Hidemi is admitted to Camelot Academy through a backdoor connection, using his father’s status as a sponsor.
Despite being a “backdoor” student, Camelot Academy has strict rules even for lower-ranked C Class students.
At Camelot Academy, being demoted from C Class means immediate expulsion.
Hidemi manages to stay enrolled, showing that he has at least enough skill to avoid dropping below C Class, even if he relies on dirty tricks.
Once his backdoor admission becomes known, Hidemi becomes a target.
Daichi Arai and Hershey Epor learn about how he entered and begin to exploit him.
They threaten and intimidate him, using the secret of his admission to control him.
Hidemi is forced to do chores, endure physical abuse, and act as their lackey around the academy.
This ongoing bullying pushes Hidemi further toward dishonest behavior.
Instead of improving his skills honestly, he increasingly relies on underhanded tactics.
Under pressure and resentment, Hidemi begins to cheat openly in his golf matches.
He tampers with opponents’ clubs and uses modified clubs himself.
He does this partly to survive in C Class and avoid expulsion.
At the same time, it reflects his frustration and lack of confidence in his real ability.
Hidemi’s style on the course becomes defined by trickery rather than technique.
He is not completely incompetent, but his play is heavily supported by deception.
Hidemi’s turning point comes in a match against Gawain Nanaumi.
The match is held to decide who will earn the right to enter the Camelot Cup.
During this match, Hidemi’s cheating is exposed.
The tampering with equipment and the use of modified clubs are revealed in front of others.
It also comes out that he secretly sabotaged the clubs of Daichi Arai and Hershey Epor.
Once they learn this, Arai and Hershey become furious and physically gang up on Hidemi.
In the middle of this confrontation, Hidemi breaks down and admits the truth.
He confesses that he has been bullied by Arai and Hershey for a long time.
Hidemi’s confession reaches Kai Todoin, a strong and authoritative figure at Camelot Academy.
Kai learns that Hidemi has been subjected to ongoing bullying and blackmail by Arai and Hershey.
Kai sharply scolds all three of them: Hidemi, Arai, and Hershey.
His stern lecture hits them hard and forces them to reflect on their behavior.
After being called out by Kai, Hidemi shows some signs of change.
He begins to slightly reform his attitude, moving away from outright cruelty and cowardice, even if he does not instantly become a hero.
Hidemi’s raw golf ability is clearly limited, especially when compared with top talents at Camelot Academy.
He survives in the academy mainly by combining modest skill with illicit tactics.
Average driver distance: about 180 yards.
This is significantly shorter than the distances reached by top power hitters at the school.
Average putts per hole: 3.0.
This indicates weak short-game performance and poor scoring efficiency.
His best score is unknown.
However, his average numbers suggest that his personal record is not particularly impressive.
Several years after his time at Camelot Academy, Hidemi quits golf altogether.
Despite his father’s original dream, he does not pursue a professional golfing career.
For reasons that are not fully explained, he shifts into a completely different world: comedy.
Hidemi becomes a comedian, turning his energy toward making people laugh instead of playing golf.
This career change highlights his unpredictability and shows that his life is not defined solely by his failures and cheating in golf.
It also suggests that his experience at Camelot Academy, including his bullying and being scolded by Kai Todoin, pushes him to seek a life where he can stand on his own terms.
