Haruko. Akagi Takenori is one of the top three centers in Japan - he was
even once approached by a top university to play for them. By being such a
terrific player, Akagi also does a good job in his time-management. All
those basketball practices did not affect his studies at all, as we can
see from his results. As the captain of Shohoku High's Basketball team, Akagi is very strict and does not tolerate any nonsense (esp. from Sakuragi). Akagi shows very good leadership and is an excellent attacker and defender. Famous for his 'Gori Dunk.' |
