| Shoe Size: | 28 |
| Also Known As: | Genius(Tensai) Basketman, Shohoku's Secret Weapon (Himitsu Heiki),Red-furred Monkey (Akagezaru), Rebound King |
| Comments: | In love with Haruko Akagi, was dumped by fifty girls in elementary school, and also has an intense rivalry with Kaede Rukawa. Easily excitable, volatile temper (sometimes associated with Dennis Rodman), and has amazing jumping ability and speed that help counteract his fouling all the time. |
| Name: | Kaede Rukawa |
| Jersey Number: | 11 |
| Position: | small forward |
| Height: | 187 cm |
| Weight: | 75 kg |
| Grade: | freshman |

| Also Known As: | Super Rookie, Shohoku's Ace, Fox Man (Kitsune Otoko) |
| Misc: | chosen as on of the best five in Kanagawa trials |
| Comments: | Untalkative, but very cool with his own fan club who goes to all of Shohoku's games to root for Rukawa with their annoying cheers. He is an all around good player, his only possible weakness is that he doesn't really depend on his team members, and when things start going bad he always tries to change the flow of the game by himself which often works, but...He also planned on going to America to play basketball, but Anzai-sensei told him to become the best player in Japan first, so now he has become a very determined and focused player.

| Comments: | He is very devoted to Anzai-sensei because of the encouragement he gave to him in the final seconds of the elementary school basketball tournament (I'm not sure of the exact name). An excellent three point shooter, although he also was chosen as Most Valuable Player in that tournament. Like Rukawa, he does not have a lot of stamina, probably because he didn't do sports his first two years in high school. |
