SKIPPED THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED
Ajax "What the fuck is a kilometer?" White
Ajax or commonly called Shiro to his Japanese friends, is a caucasian American teen currently living in Japan, attending Teiko Middle School. He's one of the charming princes of Teiko as such he's highly popular with the female populace (even the teachers, yes) and surprisingly to the males as well as he's a member of the much renowned Teiko basketball team, besides the fact he was a third string and now a second string. While playful and friendly, he's not to be mistaken as a good person because behind that cheerful and go-lucky persona lies a shrewd and devious individual, willing and capable of getting what he wants - like "subverting" the ambitious second-string coach, Masako Araki. No price so steep as long as he wills it.
Masako Araki
A female second-string coach of the Teiko basketball team. She's known to be commanding and strict with her players but cares for them nonetheless, especially Shiro, not willingly. Or so she says?
Satsuki Momoi
Cheerful and cute, Satsuki is the mascot and manager of the Teiko basketball team - which made her a target of jealousy and ire for the female populace in school. Although Aomine Daiki; her childhood friend, has been a bulwark of keeping harm and bad influences at bay, her cherished peaceful time at Teiko may come to an end with the appearance of a bad actor in the form of Shiro.
Kouda Kyouko
Pride and temper, Kyouka has it in spades. Teiko's self proclaimed queen bee or the bad bitch as she likes to refer to herself, definitely not influenced by a certain unscrupulous individual. She's in the same class as Shiro and rumored to be his girlfriend.
Seijuro Akashi
Currently serving as a vice captain of Teiko's basketball team. Prideful yet humble. Kind yet strict. Serious yet playful. Akashi is a facet of contradiction and duality.
Shintaro Midorima
Teiko's main players as their point shooter. He's somewhat of a 'close friend' of Akashi. Not friendly in general but cordial and pragmatic yet believe in Oho Asa horoscope.
Daiki Aomine
Teiko's domineering ultimate Ace in the making.
Atsushi Murasakibara
Teiko's giant point guard.
Shuzo Nijimura
Teiko's infamous captain.
Kozo Shirogane
Teiko's head coach.
