In Japan, people say their last name first, then their first name because people usually go by their last name. First name is used only when they are close friends or family members. Click on the picture to view full size~!
Ryonan~! (Detroit Pistons around 1990)
#4 PG Sendoh Akira (Tensai) - 2nd year Like a brother to Fujima Keiko, he is kind and gentle but a bit lay back and lazy. He doesn't have any plans for the tomorrow and his smiles makes his fans go crazy along with his plays. (Grant Hill) Note: Grant Hill is very much like Sendoh because he is a Triple-Double player. For those of you who don't know what this means, it means, it is someone who at least made 10 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. (Even M. Jordon can't do that and Grant Hill is very widely known for this play.)
#5 SG Koshino Hiroaki - 2nd year Best friend of Sendoh Akira. He thinks Sendoh and Keiko would look cute together and tries to match them up, but they only like each other as brothers and sisters and no more. (Strangely, everyone else's fan-fic makes him always envious and stereo-typical so I guess I have to do it too.)
#6 PF Fukuda Kiccho(Big-Headed Dwarf (Fukusuke), Fuku-chan)- 2nd year. Still bad at guarding but one of the best scorer, he tries to help his team and squash down Sakuragi. He doesn't mind Fujima Keiko being around with Sendoh too much, unlike others. He secretly loves Jin's Girlfriend.
Aida Hikoichi- 1st year Major checker in Ryonan who likes Keiko secretly. He helps Shohoku and Ryonan a lot with his information. Big fan of Sakuragi. He is very gullable and believes in Sakuragi's every words, such as, Sakuargi will be the next captain, (but it is Miyagi Ryota) and Rukawa is Nothing compared to him etc.
Aida Yayoi - Older sister of Aida Hikoichi who is a reporter or something. (Sorry, not very sure) She seems to be VERY interested in Sendoh Akira though she is a LOT older then him. ^_^ After all, she graduated University and Sendoh is still in High School. . . . .
Kantatoku Taoka - Coach of Ryonan who was a rival with Kainan's Coach back in High School. He is the elder of the two.

#11 SF Seki Yuuji - 1st year. 186 cm He was a bench member when Ryonan lost to Shohoku. After Uozumi's ending speech, he fired up and practiced to beat Rukawa once and for all. He pretends to hate Keiko's visit but can't help thinking she is pretty. He is sort of a sneaky and evil guy.
#14 SG (Guard Specialist) Kusao Takeshi (4 point shooter, LEGAL Ace Killer, gerbil) - 1st year.188 cm Mysterious guy who loves Keiko ever since 4th grade in Elementary but when he finds that Keiko likes Fujima Kenji in 7th grade, he stays in the background waiting for her to return to him. MVP in middle School Regional, (Takato was IH (or IM whatever you call it) MVP) he and Takato and Inoue Takehiko from Kyoto, are rivals yet strangely related. While Takato specialize in guarding, his technique in basketball is to foul out others and using 4 point play. He acts like Sendoh but always hides many secrets like Rukawa. (The name is from Sakuragi's voice actor. Based on another person.)
#15 C Honda Tohru (Hippo) - 1st year. 193 cm Strong boy who takes over Uozumi's place. He thinks of himself as Kusao's best friend and becomes natural enemy with Sakuragi Hanamichi. He thinks anyone in Shohoku is an enemy, especially Takato and Rukawa. He doesn't like the idea that Keiko keeps coming to see Sendoh.(Shaq O' Neal, E. Honda from Street Fighter ^_^, )
Imai Yuka - 2nd year A girl with green hair who is in the Kosugi's gang. She pretends to be a normal gangster girl, but Kusao and Sendoh can see right through her. She becomes a close friend with Kusao and tries to deny the fact that she is in love with Sendoh. She is very poor and felt lonely which made her join the gang.
Kosugi's gang - A gang in Ryonan which dyes their hair as a symbol of their gang group. They sell drugs which makes Sendoh and Kusao uneasy. They are tough gangs who always revenge and they are very persistent about it. As gangs, they are mostly into drugs and having fun.
