THE KAINAN PRIDE

Epilogue

Kainan High School is one of the high school in Kanagawa, Japan. The school was best known for their great basketball team. It has one of the largest basketball clubs in Kanagawa. The team had been featured prominently in the Inter-High Basketball Competition for many years now. Many students in the junior high who's aiming to excel in basketball had chose Kainan to further their studies. Even then, they have to compete with many talented players in Kainan to earn the first-team position.

That is why the first-team members earned respects from their fellow students. And the most respected member in Kainan's team is their captain, Shinichi Maki. Students spoke in awe about their popular captain. For many years, he and Fujima Kenji of Shoyo competed to be the best guard in Kanagawa basketball circuit. But there was always no competition as the statistic shows, he scored the most points in the preliminaries, thus, making him the best player in Kanagawa. Kainan flourished under his leadership, had gotten very far in the IH, and earned him the nickname Monster. He was expected to graduate with honours and join the Japan Training Camp when the time comes. All in all, he was the pride of Kainan.

And like many established schools, Kainan has its own stories and legends. And one of the story involved a certain plaque in the main basketball gym. A figure of a phoenix-like bird was engraved on the silver-matel. It was known as the Kainan Bird. The bird was hung on the top spectators' box in the gym. Story has it, when the bird was given to Kainan as a present, the Kainan's luck had been change. Hence, the bird stays since it brought good luck to the team. It never moves out of the gym and had been tendered dearly by the students. They were proud of their bird, of their mascot, of their identity.

Little did they know the Kainan pride will be taken away...
