Kuroko's Basketball/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Seirin High School ==

 

 

The protagonist of the manga - [[Character Title|pretty obvious given his name is in the title]] - he was a member of the Generation of Miracles team in his middle school days. Together with Kagami, he now aims to bring all of them down.

 

-----

* [[Benched Hero]]: {{spoiler|In the match against Seihou. The secondary reason is so that he can save his energy for the next match against Shuutoku, the primary reason is that the seniors want to avenge their loss against Seihou themselves.}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Foil]]: To Kagami.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: His name is also the name of stagehands in japanese theater who dress in black and are supposed to be perceived as invisible by the audience.

* [[The Nicknamer]]: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Only one instance but...]]

Kuroko: *thinks* 'Papa.' .... Dad. }}

* [[The Nondescript]]: His ability is a weaponized version of "being ignored": his misdirection skills gives him an advantage in steals, and his assists become nigh unpredictable. But even off-court, his teammates tend to forget he's there.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Kagami. If you can't tell who's who, it's...

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Because of the nature of his basketball, he tends to be this.

* [[Spock Speak]]: He tends to speak very calmly and [[Keigo|politely]].

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: An especially explicit example, considering he manages to have light blue hair and yet go ''completely unnoticed'', not only in everyday life, but during basketball games, when there are only nine other people besides him on the court.

 

 

An extraordinary basketball player, he lived in the United States until partway through middle school. After returning, he finds himself disappointed at the level of basketball in Japan. After learning about the Generation of Miracles, he makes it his goal to take them down with the help of Kuroko.

 

-----

* [[The Ace]]: For Seirin High.

* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Well not to the sport of basketball, but he is one to the Japanese high school basketball circuit. He doesn't know many of the players from the other teams that Kuroko and the rest know from playing basketball in middle school. More often than not, he's the one asking who's who, prompting someone else on the team to reply him and the audience.

* [[Redheaded Hero]]

 

 

A second year student at Seirin who's also the coach and manager of the Seirin basketball club. She managed to take the team to the Regionals in her first year of coaching them.

-----

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: His interactions with Riko can be interpreted as this.

-----

** Note that he has ''no voice actor.''

 

 

-----

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Jack of All Trades]]: And also [[Master of None]].

 

 

-----

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Not that he was ever that important to begin with, but as the plot goes on, it's very easy to forget that he's one of the Seirin regulars.

 

 

-----

== Kaijou High School ==

 

 

A former member of the Teikou Middle School Basketball Team, another member of the Generation of Miracles. Was the last to join the GOM, and acknowledged to be the weakest member of the team. That said, being the weakest member of the GOM doesn't mean he can't [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] everyone else. He was the first of the GOM to show up.

 

-----

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: The true source of his copying abilities.

Formerly the shooting guard of the Teikou Middle School Basketball Team, he's also a member of the Generation of Miracles. He was the second member of the team to appear.

 

-----

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: He runs on this. He follows morning horoscopes religiously, and gets quite pissed off at Kuroko's attempts to [[Screw Destiny]].

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: The whole horoscope bit. He checks his horoscope everyday, buys and carries his daily lucky item around him without fail and makes sure no one messes with his lucky item. But he's this trope because he's a ''phenomenally'' good shooter, and even does things like tape his fingers off the court to protect them, believing even the slightest injury can throw his shots off.

** The whole horoscope thing might actually be true too since {{spoiler|the first time someone messes with his lucky teddy bear, Shuutoku loses to Seirin.}}

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: He was this with Kuroko back in their middle school day

* [[Jerkass]]: His actions often veer into this territory.

Formerly the captain and point guard of the Teikou Middle School Basketball Team, he's the leader of the Generation of Miracles. He was the one who discovered Kuroko's ability of misdirection, and despite the fact his team is filled with egocentric geniuses, they all listen to him. Evidenced by how the entire Generation of Miracles team turned up when he summoned them, and how Midorima [[It Makes Sense in Context|lent him his scissors]] while he refused to lend it to Murasakibara.
