Dr S's Helping and Useful Tips.
Hi there! Dr S here, the friend of Dr T. I see that some of you out there don't know much about Slam Dunk, a work by Takehiko Inoue. Slam Dunk is about Basketball (Duh!) The place where Slam Dunk took place is in Kanagawa. Okay, now the people that I mentioned in Chapter One, wearing red and black jackets and sweatpants, are from Shohoku High the Main School that Slam Dunk is based on. In this Fic, Shohoku is just 400m away from Meiji High. Now here is the characters' profile for Shohoku High, please don't blame if I get some of the facts wrong as I started reading Slam Dunk this year only so I am really not familiar with Slam Dunk.
Shohoku High's Basketball Team
Coach Anzai
Everyone on the team except Sakuragi (Please refer to Hanamichi Sakuragi) calls Coach or Coach Anzai. Sakuragi just calls him 'Father' or 'Old Man'. Everyone on the team except Sakuragi treated him with high respects. Well, Sakuragi would poke his round belly or bounce or hit his flabby chin. Yeah, Coach Anzai is a rounded man with white hair and glasses. It was said that before he coached Shohoku High, he was coaching another school and they said that his training was so tough that his nickname was known as the 'White-haired Devil'. Due to the death of one of his players, he softened and now he is known as the 'White-Haired Buddha'.
Akagi 197cm Year 3
The Captain of the team, plays Center (C) and also the tallest. Sakuragi calls him 'Gori' or 'Gorilla'. The reason why he calls Akagi 'Gori' is because he finds that Akagi looked like a gorilla. Said to be very good in the academics field. Hates nonsense especially from Sakuragi- If anyone was caught; they would be hit on the head. He is famous for his dunks aka 'Gorilla Dunk'- Why? Because each time, he dunked, the court would be silent except for the vibrations which would be followed by the spectators cheering and screaming. At first, he didn't like his dunks to be known as 'Gorilla Dunk', those who were caught saying or screaming it out, would be hit on the head. But later on, he didn't bother to do anything since it was too common.
Kogure 178cm Year 3
The Vice-captain of the team, Reserve or bench warmer. A peaceful and quiet guy who is easily bullied by others, so the reason why he joined basketball was to avoid getting bullied and to increase his strength and stamina. He love getting the best out of everything and a good friend of Gori oops- I mean Akagi. His nickname from Sakuragi was four-eyes sama because of his glasses. If he was to play in a game, the opponents would take him lightly as he didn't cause any 'harms' but is deadly for his sudden three pointers, other than that he just a bench warmer.
Hanamichi Sakuragi 188cm, he grew to 189.2cm later in the manga and anime but for now he is just 188cm. Year 1
He plays Power Forward in the team and known to be the Rebound King from all the rebounds he catches, also famous for his amazing jumping power. The Main character of Slam Dunk. Sakuragi was famous for his flaming red hair and gangster looks. He always calls himself 'Tensei' which mean genius. Not really of a genius but I must say that he was a very fast learner. Loves ridiculing everyone including the opponents of the opposite team and his own teammates. For example, he gave the nickname 'Monkey King' to the Center and Captain of Ryonan. His nicknames from people were 'D'Ahou' from Kaede Rukawa (refer to Kaede Rukawa) 'Red-haired Monkey' and 'Red-Haired Monk' from Spectators and other opponents. The reason why he joined basketball was because of his crush of High School, his fifty-first girl, Haruko who is also the sister of the captain, Akagi. In Junior High, he was dumped by fifty girls who most, were interested in the players from basketball. Because of that, Sakuragi hated basketball but when he came to Shohoku, Haruko mistook him for a basketball player because of his height and body build. In order to woo her, Sakuragi lied that he like basketball and joined the team even though he knew nothing about basketball. Anyway he became Archenemy with Rukawa because of Haruko but I don't think this love will succeed, as it was a one-sided love because Haruko likes Rukawa. Beside that, the captain of the Judo team to join Judo is chasing him but of course, being Sakuragi…Sakuragi head butted the captain and calls him "Judo Weirdo".
Kaede Rukawa 187cm Year 1
Plays Small Forward and known to be the Super Rookie. Of course, the Tensei disagreed and calls him 'Kitsune' which mean 'fox'. The dream guy of almost every girl in Shohoku high including Haruko. He even has his own cheering team and fan club. He looked a little like Shinomori Aoshi from Meiji High but with a messier hair. A very emotionless guy, rarely smile or laugh. Very serious in a basketball game. He always sleeping in class that some of his teachers gave up hope on waking him up and in fact, when asked what was his hobby was, he replied, "Sleeping". One of his favourite lines was "No one stands between me and my sleep!" and another was "D'Ahou" which was meant only for Sakuragi but sometimes use it on others. He sleeps so much that he cycles while sleeping and once in a while ramming into the back of the car.
Miyagi 168cm Year 2
Miyagi plays Point Guard in team, he proclaimed to be the best Point Guard in Kanagawa. Another person beside Sakuragi to join basketball because of a girl. Got dumped by ten girls since Year 1. He had a crush on his classmate and Manager of the team, Ayako (refer to Ayako) but he saw that he was never in her eyes so in order to forget her; he tried to click with other girls but got dumped and joined Basketball to be near her and to forget her. He got admitted into a hospital because of a fight but discharged out of the hospital without missing teethes not like Mitsui (refer to Mitsui). He had fought on the roof against Mitsui then a gangster and his gang. He was classified as another Sakuragi. At first, Miyagi didn't like Sakuragi, but finding out later that both of them had the same situation, they became good friends and Miyagi taught Sakuragi some tricks. Later on, he also became good friends with Mitsui. Said to bash up any unknown male who walk, talk or touch Ayako.
Mitsui 184cm year 3
Mitsui plays Shooting Guard. Mitsui was declared as MVP or Most Valuable Player back in Junior High. Many coaches of various High Schools especially Ryonan wanted him, but because of Coach Anzai asking him not to give up and fight for it as his team was losing. Mitsui fought and won the game so in order to repay Coach Anzai's inspiration. He joined Shohoku High in order to make that school stronger. In Shohoku High, Mitsui was famous for his MVP's title that he got sick when people kept calling him MVP and not his name. He reported to the court to see Akagi doing a slam-dunk for the seniors. In the end, Akagi and Mitsui and ended up disliking each other and like insulting each other. During one of the practice match between the first years, he injured his left knee. At first, he thought that he had recovered but he had actually injured his left knee so badly that in the second match, he collapsed. The doctors said that he wasn't able to pay basketball anymore. He was so heartbroken that he hated basketball and joined a gang. Now in third year, still a gangster. On the rooftop, he was beaten badly by Miyagi that both of them entered hospital. Miyagi discharged out with proper set of teethes while he was discharged out with two missing front teethes and a missing bottom teeth. After they were discharged, Mitsui came to pick another fight with Miyagi but Miyagi got distracted by Ayako and Sakuragi walking together so they (Sakuragi and Miyagi) fought but Sakuragi ended up kicking both Mitsui and Miyagi to a nearby motorcycle. Mitsui was angry as both Miyagi and Sakuragi were from Basketball and found out that some of his members too, were bashed up by a basketball player (Kaede Rukawa) on the rooftop. He decided to take revenge by picking a fight with the basketball team. Later after the fight, Coach Anzai stepped into the hall, Mitsui went down on his knees and cried, saying that he want to play basketball. After the incident, Mitsui turned over a new leaf, cut his hair short because his earlier hairdo was shoulder length and Sakuragi called him 'bisexual' and replace his missing teethes with dentures. Mitsui is famous and cursed for his three pointers but he tired out easily after the second half.
Ayako Year 2
The Manager of the team and the secret crush of Miyagi. She is always encouraging the team even though they were losing and famous for her paper fan of doom.
