Eiji is a friendly, sweet-tempered and outgoing character and the youngest of a large family. Also unlike most of the characters, he is usually referred to by his given name. He acts like a cat, which shows in his acrobatics and how he likes to add a "Nya" (the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meow) at the end of his sentences. This is especially evident in the chibi episodes where in the TeniPuri Family stories he is the family's pet cat. He is also shown to be very playful, as proven when he helps Tomoka Osakada and Sakuno Ryuzaki cheer for Ryoma during his match against Reiji Shinjō using a special chant and in Episode 91, when he impresses the neighborhood kids with his acrobatic skills on Rokkaku's playground. When playing games, most character's concentration are broken up by attention and pressure. But Eiji loves the attention and actually focuses much more when he's being cheered on. When Eiji is seriously determind he has a habit of rolling his racket around his hand and catching it continuously. Though the Golden Pair seldom play without each other, Eiji has been paired with his friend and teammate Shūsuke Fuji to form the "Dream Pair", as well as forming a makeshift Golden Pair with Momoshiro Takeshi. In the Nationals story arc of the manga, Eiji plays singles after Oishi gave his spot to a returning Kunimitsu Tezuka (Echizen in the anime). He says that if Oishi will not be his partner, that he refuses to play doubles anymore. After his first match against Higa Middle School, however, he proclaims that playing singles tennis is "too lonely," and the Golden Pair becomes a team again. Eiji's main weakness was his lack of stamina, which he overcomes through hard work and training later on in the series. His main rival is Hyotei Academy's Mukahi Gakuto, another acrobatic player who is extremely light and surpasses him in acrobatic play. Another weakness of Kikumaru is the slow speed at which he notices things. He does not pick up on things as easily as say, Tezuka or Fuji. Someone would have to explain to him what is going on or what they have noticed which he has not. This weakness can have its disadvantages, which is mainly losing in a match. Although Oishi and Eiji get along very well and the two together form the famous "Golden Pair," they do have their disagreements.

Eiji Kikumaru is a 3rd Year Regular in the Seigaku tennis team and predominantly plays Doubles with his partner, Shuichiro Oishi. Eiji is well-known for his Acrobatic Play. He is part of Seigaku's "Golden Pair" along with Shuichiro Oishi. Using his acrobatic play he can return almost any ball, even those that seem out of human reach. Eiji is also known to have the sharpest vision on the team, with an exceptional talent for seeing moving objects. The only other member of his team to have this talent is Ryoma Echizen. This proves to be both a strength and a weakness, especially when matched against St.Rudolph's team captain Yoshiro Akazawa. Other than his well known style of acrobatic play, he has his own signature smash move called "Kikumaru Beam", which is essentially a very high behind-the-back smash that is launched either at the corner of the opponent's court, or directly at the opponent.
