Rikkai (立海), or Rikkaidai Fuzoku Chuu, is a nationally ranked tennis team and major threat to middle schools competing for the National Championship title. Located in the Kanagawa Prefecture, they've won the National title for two years straight. They take pride in straight wins and even keeping to this in game counts.
Here is a compiled list of Rikkai portrayers throughout the musical.
Yukimura Seiichi
The feminine-looking "Child of God" Seiichi Yukimura (幸村 精市 Yukimura Seiichi) is the captain of Rikkai, which makes him one of the Three Demons of the team; the other big three being Sanada Genichirou and Yanagi Renji. He is absent from the Kanto tournament due to an unknown sickness, but he recovers in time for the Nationals.

Sanada Genichirou
The vice-captain of Rikkai and one of the Three Demons of the team. He's visibly more threatening than Yukimura and mercilessly punishes anyone who breaks their tennis team's laws. Genichirou Sanada's (真田 弦一郎 Sanada Gen'ichirō) tennis style revolves around the elements, notably his use of FuuRinKazan and FuuRinKazanRai in the Nationals tournament.
