==Story==

Courtney lives next to a school. Occasionally, basketballs, ping-pong balls, soccer balls, rugby balls<ref>"となりの高校からねー、ボールがとんでくることがあるんだー。バスケットボールや、ピンポンボール、サッカーボールとかねー。ときにはラグビーボールだったりするんだー。リズムに乗ってボールがとんでくるんだよー。フシギだねー。" (From the high school next door, there are times when balls come flying in. A basketball, a ping-pong ball, a soccer ball, and so on. Sometimes it's a rugby ball. The balls come flying in with the rhythm. It's strange.) ~ [[Basketball|とんできたボール]] (The Ball that Flew in), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref> and even fruit will come over the fence in rhythm. Nobody seems to be there, leading him to believe that it's haunted.<ref>"Sometimes basketballs and fruit come zooming over the fence from the school next door. I always look over the fence, but there's no one there. Is the basketball court haunted?" ~ [[Basketball]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref> There is also a gymnasium near Courtney, where the [[Space Dancers]] play [[Rhythm Rally 2|ping-pong]]. One day, a table-tennis ball falls on the court. He wants to return it, but he can't enter the gymnasium because it's always locked<ref>"となりの体育館には、スペースダンサーズの所ぞくするピンポン部が、あるんだよー。このピンポン球、バスケットコートに落ちてたんだー。返しに行きたいんだけど、いつも体育館のカギはしまっていて、中には入れないんだよー。" (In the gymnasium next door, there is a ping-pong club that belongs to the Space Dancers. This ping-pong ball fell on the basketball court. I want to return it, but the gym is always locked and I can't go in there.) ~ [[Non-fruit Ball|ピンポン球]] (Ping Pong Ball), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>. Being a street, Courtney doesn't know how to play with it. He doesn't even know what a table is, and believes it's a kind of duck.<ref>"I found this table-tennis ball the other day. I've heard of table tennis, of course, but, being a street, I can't play. I'm not even sure what a "table" is. Some kind of duck?" ~ [[Non-fruit Ball]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>

Courtney appears to have been a relationship or had a crush on a girl at one point; a pink, more feminine floor. Sometime between the events of [[Fruit Basket]] and [[Fruit Basket 2]], however, they either broke up, or Courtney got rejected. Courtney appears to hate spiders but like Pandas and Pugs. He likes pizza and hamburgers as well. Courtney likes sports and Tic-Tac-Toe.

*The descriptions for the [[Rhythm Item]]s are mostly consistent across languages, however some languages give conflicting information. Namely, in the French version, Courtney describes himself as a ghost<ref>"Mais comment voulez-vous que je joue au basket avec ça ? Eh oh ! Je suis fantôme, moi, pas magicien ! C'est bien trop léger pour aller dans un panier, et à la moindre rafale... Ciao la balle !" (But how do you expect me to play basketball with that? Eh oh! I'm a ghost, not a magician! It's way too light to go in a basket, and at the slightest gust... Say bye to the ball!) ~ [[Non-fruit Ball|Balle de tennis de table]] (Table Tennis Ball), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]''</ref> rather than a street, while in the Korean version, he ends his sentences with a tilde ("~"), implying a ghost-like speech pattern, similar to how the [[Sneaky Spirits (Characters)|Sneaky Spirits]] are known to talk.

**The [[Rhythm Item]]s also describe various types of balls and fruit to bounce over Courtney at times, which he rebounds, as depicted in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#07じめんくんのこと その1 (About Courtney Part 1)|Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]. The school Courtney lives next to is implied to be the same one from [[Double Date]], while the fruit are implied to come from the same staircase where [[Catchy Tune]] takes place. Courtney does not bounce his friends, like the snail, however.
