Ryota Miyagi, point guard of the Shohoku B ball team. He is one the best if not the best guards in Kanagawa ( the best is either Sendoh or Mak ). He is a very sensitive person, and like Hanamichi he got dumped by a considerably amount of girls, that is why they get along so well. Miyagi has this huge crush on the teams manager, but he has never had the guts to tell her. Miyagi was also a punk, but when he joined the basket ball team he turned over a new leaf ( didn't everybody? ). In the end of the series Ryota gets the honor of being team captain, personally I thought it was pretty surprising.
