Jou Koizumi

Meet Mr. Koizumi, the laid-back advisor of Katase High’s Table Tennis club. He’s got an eye for talent, spotting Smile’s potential right away and committing to training him. Once upon a time, he was the table tennis sensation of Japan, earning the cool nickname “Butterfly Joe” for his killer moves. Now, he sees a spark in Smile that takes him back to his own glory days. Oh, and when he’s not busy smashing ping pong balls, he’s teaching English, making him the perfect blend of mentor and teacher. With Mr. Koizumi in your corner, the game just got more exciting!
