P2! -let's Play Pingpong!- (ピーツー レッツ プレイ ピンポン, Pītsū Rettsu Purei Pinpon) is a Japanese shōnen manga sports series written and illustrated by Tatsuma Ejiri and serialized in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from September 2006 to November 2007.

The series is about Hiromu Aikawa, a small yet slightly unathletic middle school boy. Finding himself with a competitive streak that forces him to embarrass himself, he attempts and fails to join twelve separate sports clubs with little success. However as he is about to give up, he wanders into the practice area for the school ping-pong team, which inspires him to at least make another attempt into a sport. Although he nearly fails, his courage and determination in front of the club heads allow him to join the club and start playing ping-pong.

The school (located near Kuse city, a former port city) where the majority of the cast attends, the Kuze ping pong club gained notoriety when it overthrew the Ohka Haou, or "Supreme Kings". After that, the three major players, Kawazue, Asobe, and Tetsuo, were given the title of "Ripping King".

The ping pong club is somewhat free range aside from conditioning, practice and improvement is really left up to each member to find for themselves. Although the older members are available to answer any questions, it is not their obligation to help newer members improve. Still, despite its independent approach, it appears to be under a strict foundation, with Kawazue at its head.

A school well known for their sports teams, their ping pong club had 22 conclusive victories within middle school, and were the 12 time all-Japan winners. Their club regulars were known as the Haou, or the "Supreme Kings", before they were defeated by Kuzekita.
