The Shohoku High School Basketball Team along with other students from Shohoku.
The manga and anime series Slam Dunk features several fictional characters created by Takehiko Inoue . The series takes place in Japan, with the main characters being Japanese basketball player from high school.
The series tells the story of Hanamichi Sakuragi , a teenager who falls in love with Haruko Akagi after being rejected by other fifty girls. However, as Haruko is in love with Kaede Rukawa , a popular basketball player, Sakuragi decides to enter the Shohoku High School basketball team to surpass Rukawa and make Haruko fall in love with him. As he starts learning how to play basketball in Shohoku, Sakuragi starts liking the sport and becomes determinated to be the best player. In the team, Sakuragi meets Haruko's older brother, Takenori Akagi , who is also Shohoku's captain, and two other player with a violent past which caused them to leave the sport some time ago, Ryota Miyagi , and Hisashi Mitsui . They, along with Rukawa, make Shohoku one of the strongest high school teams from Japan.
Inoue became inspired to make Slam Dunk a basketball series as he liked basketball since High School. [1] With the series, Inoue wants to demonstrate the feelings from an athlete such as their thoughts when they win, lose or improve at their sport. [2] As part of the development from the characters, Inoue wants the readers to feel achievements as well as love for the sport. [3] His experience from the basketball also influenced the story from Slam Dunk : when being young Inoue started playing basketball to be popular with the girls, but later became obsessed with the sport. This was mirrored in the character of Hanamichi Sakuragi, who starts playing basketball to impress the girl he likes. [4]
The Kainan University Affiliated High School basketball team Kainan has won the Kanagawa Interhigh Tournament for 17 years running and are known as the "Kings of Kanagawa." Their entire team is composed of elite players and demonstrates incredible stamina and defensive ability. The team has no notable weaknesses. Kainan lost in the semifinals in the previous National Championship, where they faced the defending champion Sannoh , losing by 30 points. At the end of the manga, they are ranked number 2 in Japan.
Jersey no.#6/189 cm/Shooting Guard. Soichiro Jin ( 神 宗一郎 Jin Sōichirō ? ) is one of the best sharpshooters in Kanagawa, matched only by Mitsui. He originally used to be a center, but his slender build, slow movement and weak leaping ability never allowed him to perform well in this position. Instead of being discouraged, he became a shooting guard, where he could put his talents to better use. Jin became well-versed in 3-pointers as a result of making 500 3 point shots a day after practice. Jin has a very mild personality and is always looking calm and agreeable. It is revealed in the National Championships that Jin finishes as the leading scorer in the Kanagawa prefectural tournament, averaging 30.6 points per game(followed closely by Rukawa's 30 points per game). He is voiced by Nobutoshi Canna .
Jersey no.#10/178 cm/65 kg/Small Forward. Nobunaga Kiyota ( 清田 信長 Kiyota Nobunaga ? ) closely resembles Sakuragi in attitude but has the skills to back it up. He tends to underestimate other teams, especially Shohoku, and this can lead to embarrassing situations, such as when Akagi flattened him with a dunk. Kiyota likes to call Hanamichi "Red-furred Monkey" while Hanamichi calls him "Wild Monkey." Despite being so arrogant, Kiyota has a high level of respect for his teammates, especially towards his captain Maki. Kiyota is known for his leaping ability and ball-handing skills. Despite being only 178 cm, he can dunk and block shots quite regularly. Kiyota is the only starter for Kainan who is a 1st year. He is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa .
Jersey no.#4/184 cm/79 kg/Point Guard. Shinichi Maki ( 牧 紳一 Maki Shin'ichi ? ) is reputed to be the best player in Kanagawa, and was crowned prefectural MVP twice. As team captain, he exerts great leadership over his teammates, who follow his orders to the letter. Though his personality belies it, he can be as strict as Akagi, but mostly only towards Kiyota. He is commonly noted to be appear older than he is; Maki responds by pointing out that Akagi looks even older.
Maki plays mostly as a point guard, although he has the all-round skills to play in virtually any other position. Extremely muscular and strong, he likes to use his physical attributes to drive into the lane to score while drawing fouls. Sakuragi manages in one occasion to surpass Maki in physical strength while scoring a dunk, despite Maki fouling him. His scoring ability is incredibly difficult to stop and in one game four players from Shohoku (Akagi, Rukawa, Mitsui and Miyagi) were needed to completely shut him down. Maki uses his height and power to create mismatches against other point guards, which his team usually capitalizes on effectively. He is voiced by Hisao Egawa .
Jersey no.#15/160 cm/42 kg. Yoshinori Miyamasu ( 宮益 義範 Miyamasu Yoshinori ? ) is known as the sixth man for Kainan. His unimposing presence (by comparison, he is 5 cm shorter and 10 kg lighter than Hikoichi Aida) distracts opponents from his real basketball skills, especially his reliable 3 point shooting, the accuracy of which is comparable to Jin's and Mitsui's 3 point shooting. Though he has to wear glasses, when called to play, he replaces them with a pair of goggles. Yoshinori plays his first game when he is called in to take the court by Coach Riki Takato in order to shut down Sakuragi. Takato correctly deduces that Sakuragi will not take Yoshinori seriously enough to properly mark him, enabling Yoshinori to be effective. He is voiced by Shinobu Satouchi .
Riki Takato is Kainan’s coach and a contemporary of Ryonan’s Moichi Taoka, who is a year older than him. Both of them have known each other since high school, when Takato was known as the "Rookie from Hell" in his first year. He has been responsible in some degree for the team’s domination of the Kanagawa Interhigh Tournament for the past 17 years. Kainan’s training regimen is so tough that it weeds out half the incoming players within the first week, and another half within the first month. After a year, barely a fifth of the new players remain. The previous year, Takato also coached the team to the semifinal of the national championships, which they lost to Sannoh.
He is able to read Sakuragi’s character well enough during the league round match to substitute in Yoshinori for Jin, which causes Sakuragi to lose focus and allow Yoshinori to compound this by being effective at shooting. Normally cool and collected when his team is dominating, Takato becomes very agitated and anxious when they get pressed, when he starts to yell at his players. He is voiced by Masaharu Sato .
The Ryonan High School basketball team is considered one of the top teams in Kanagawa along with Shoyo and Kainan , the defending Kanagawa Interhigh Tournament champion for 17 years running. The team was seeded first in their respective division during the Interhigh Tournament. However, their main weaknesses are the lack of a star point guard and a three-point shooter.
165 cm/52 kg. Hikoichi Aida ( 相田 彦一 Aida Hikoichi ? ) aspires to become a player like his Ryonan teammates but, not being up to their level, he just stays with the reserves (more specifically with the coach, Moichi Taoka) and acts more as a team manager than a full player, taking detailed notes during matches. His catchphrase is "gotta check it," aside from shouting "Unbelievable!!!" every time something exciting happens during a match. He too considers Hanamichi a great player, because he was talked into it when they first met. Hikoichi also idolizes Ryota because he is a starter for Shohoku despite his short height (Ryota is only three centimeters - about one inch - taller than Hikoichi). He is voiced by Masaya Onosaka .
Jersey no.#13/188 cm/80 kg/ Power Forward . Kicchou Fukuda ( 福田 吉兆 Fukuda Kicchō ? ) Fukuda is the other ace Ryonan has up their sleeve. His offensive power rivals many of the best players in the Kanagawa prefecture and is seen throughout the series doing alley oops with Sendoh as the passer but his defensive ability is weak and can be easily exploited. He has something of a special rivalry going on with Hanamichi from the first time they knew of each other, when the latter was depressed over the loss to Kainan and was near a basketball court where Fukuda was practicing. Fukuda had previously heard about Hanamichi from Sendoh and had wanted to play him, but the latter refused. They do not actually meet each other until the last match of the Interhigh Tournament, when Fukuda outplays Sakuragi for the first half and lights the fire within him, with the words "I won, Sakuragi". Unwilling to accept the loss, Hanamichi strengthens his marking over Fukuda in the second half.
Ryonan coach Moichi Taoka saw potential in both Fukuda and Sendoh starting from when they joined the team together. However, as Fukuda still seemed green and thick-skinned, Taoka would frequently criticize him while praising Sendoh. Fukuda however, turned out to be quite sensitive. As a result, in an exhibition match at Ryonan, Fukuda released his pent-up aggression on Taoka. This incident resulted in a suspension from all games up until the Interhigh Tournament. Thus he does not play in the practice match against Shohoku and is not seen until Ryonan plays Kainan. Possibly because of all the rudeness he used to be treated with, Fukuda loves to be respected and praised. He even bursts into tears when the crowd cheers him on against Kainan. He is voiced by Hideo Ishikawa .
Jersey no.#5/183 cm/6'/72in. Ryoji Ikegami ( 池上 良治 Ikegami Ryōji ? ) is known as the best defender in the team. In the last half of the Shohoku-Ryonan match he was asked to mark Mitsui and he did manage shut him down (only for some time), having previously outclassed Sakuragi (who was obsessed with beating Fukuda) in the same match. He leaves the team with Uozomi after the loss to Shohoku knocks Ryonan out of the National Championship run. Unlike Uozomi however, who starts to get emotional in encouraging his teammates to bring Ryonan further the next time around, Ikegami is cool and collected. He is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa .
Jersey no.#7/190 cm/79 kg/ Point Forward . Akira Sendoh ( 仙道 彰 Sendō Akira ? ) is Ryonan's ace and is considered one of the top players in Kanagawa. An easygoing person, Sendoh usually has a smile on his face whether on-court or off. He can be lazy at times, and has a reputation for arriving late to practice sessions and matches. His tardiness is tolerated though, because of his abilities. One of his hobbies is fishing, and he has a taste for lemons. His teammates trust him wholeheartedly, firmly believing that he can lead Ryonan to victory even if they are trailing. However he was outplayed by Eiji Sawakita in junior high.
Sendoh's all-round skills are repeatedly displayed throughout the series. He is capable of playing a one-on-one style of play like Rukawa, but also understands how to utilize his teammates effectively. Against Kainan, Sendoh was deployed as a Point Guard, but transformed himself into a deadly scorer when the game was on the line. In the second match against Shohoku, he traded shots with Rukawa. Sendoh succeeds Uozomi as captain after he and Ikegami leave the team. He is voiced by Hōchū Ōtsuka .
Jersey no.#4/202 cm/90 kg/Center. Jun Uozomi ( 魚住 純 Uozumi Jun ? ) is Ryonan’s captain. He considers Takenori Akagi his rival, but has never managed to personally beat him, although Akagi considers him to be better. However their rivalry is not antagonistic; indeed, there is respect that borders on friendship. When Akagi was outplayed and discouraged in the match against Sannoh, Uozumi was able to restore Akagi's spirits. After the loss to Shohoku in the Kanagawa prefectural trials eliminated Ryonan from national competition, Uozumi left the team to train as a chef, since his family owns a ramen restaurant; Sendoh succeeds him as team captain. Sakuragi likes to refer to him as "Boss Monkey" because he is as well-built as Akagi, and even taller.
Uozumi's size and power are unmatched in high school basketball. However, he started as a very weak player, and was ridiculed and bullied by his upperclassmen for only having height but very little of everything else. Ryonan's coach Taoka Moichi encouraged him to continue playing though, and eventually Uozumi developed into becoming a fearsome center. He is considered as one of the top centers in the Kanagawa prefecture. However, his bad temper and lack of control in game situations has led to serious consequences for his team on more than one occasion. He is voiced by Yukimasa Kishino .
Moichi Taoka is Ryonan’s coach and a contemporary of Kainan’s Riki Takato, who is a year younger than him. Both of them have known each other since high school, when Taoka was known as “Kanagawa’s Taoka”. Taoka compares himself to Sendoh, which his players find hard to believe. Both men are still friends, but are also rivals. If he had had his way, his dream team would have consisted of Sendoh, Uozomi, Mitsui, Miyagi, and Rukawa, with the latter three playing the same positions they now play for Shohoku. He personally recruited them, but each turned him down for various reasons. Still, Taoka is happy with his current team and believes that out of all the teams he has coached, it has trained the hardest.
Taoka is a good coach, but has made mistakes in judging his players and the opposition. He still has an eye for talent though, as he recognized Uozomi’s potential and gave him encouragement when Uozomi’s skills were weak and he was thinking of quitting. Taoka also realized that when Sendoh and Fukuda joined the team that they would become key players. However, he thought that he could encourage Fukuda by criticizing him while at the same time praising Sendoh. Fukuda’s personality turned out to be more sensitive, and after a year of criticism, he snapped, attacking Taoka during a practice match. Having learned from his mistake, Taoka uses Fukuda to great effect during the match with Kainan. His errors cost Ryonan, and Taoka acknowledges Shohoku after the game. He is voiced by Unshō Ishizuka .
The Sannoh Industry Affiliated High School basketball team has been the defending national champion for three years running and is ranked as an AA team. They are considered the top high school team in Japan and have been a dominant force in high school basketball for years. The team has mastered the full court press defense and can trap even the fastest point guards and immobilize their opponents' offense.
Jersey no#4. Kazunari Fukatsu ( 深津一成 Fukatsu Kazunari ? ) is the captain of this multi-talented champion team. He is able to read and control the flow of the game quite well. He always plays with a calm and cool demeanor, looking to exploit any flaws in the opposing team. He possesses great passing skills, an accurate three point shot, and excellent defensive powers. He forms the core trio of the Sannoh team, along with Masashi and Sawakita. He has an odd habit of adding "yo" to almost everything he says, that seems to be dragging on for some time - Masashi told reporter Yayoi Aida he used to always say "man" before switching to "yo" (even though Fukatsu is still caught saying "man" in isolated moments).
170 cm. Satoshi Ichinokura ( 一ノ倉聡 Ichinokura Satoshi ? ) is a defensive specialist who has the most stamina and endurance on the team. He is known for his sticky defense and starts the game against Shohoku with the sole purpose of wearing down Mitsui. He is quite proud
