Shohoku  |
THe second kanji(chinese writing that is
used in Japan unsimplified and pronounced in japanese style) above is hoku of Shohoku. Sorry but I couldn't find the one with Shohoku or Sho.
Sho means 'Hunan province in China' and hoku means 'north', so Shohoku means 'Northern Hunan Province'.
The kanji in this page is in red cause that is Shohoku team color. Shohoku is red because this color is Chicago Bulls, but red means protagonist, the hero, or the main character or team, which fits Shohoku.

#11 Rukawa Kaede  |  |  |
Ru means 'flow'(this is usually pronounced as 'ryu') and kawa means 'river' 'stream', so Rukawa means 'flowing river'(Rukawa isn't a common name and very rare). Kaede means 'maple or maple leaf/tree'.
Rukawa sort of fit him. Flowing River expresses how smooth Rukawa is in Basketball manuvers and skills. Maple have nothing to do with him, but it is a nice name.
Rukawa GF: Hmmmm. . . . Ryukawa. . . .
