About this title

Synopsis

The college basketball team Strky, comprised of familiar faces from past Interhigh tournaments, is ready to face off against the Jabberwock, a popular American street basketball team that has just arrived in Japan. But what they believe will be a friendly match against a foreign team turns into a devastating loss, and afterwards, the Jabberwock's captain Nash Gold Jr. comments that the people of Japan are equivalent to monkeys and should stop pretending to play basketball. Angered by this insult, Kagetora Aida proposes a rematch with a different Japanese team, to which Nash accepts, believing the outcome will be the exact same. For the revenge match, Kagetora assembles the Vorpal Swords, consisting of the Generation of Miracles alongside Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami—the only team that stands a chance in teaching the Jabberwock a lesson.

School: Seirin High Number: 11 Position: ? (Position not yet declared officially by the mangaka) Height: 5'6" (168 cm) Weight: 125lbs (57 kg) Age: 16 Blood type: A Birthday: January 31 Sign: Aquarius Favorite food: vanilla shakes Hobbies: reading, observing people, playing with Tetsuya number 2 Specialty: simple sleight of hand tricks, Misdirection, Ignite Pass, Ignite Pass Kai, Cyclone Pass, Vanishing Drive, Misdirection Overflow, Phantom Shot, Alley-oop Motto: (Every encounter is a) once-in-a-lifetime encounter The phantom sixth member of the "Generation of Miracles." He has a very weak presence and often seemingly appears out of nowhere as a result. At the first glance all of his abilities seem to be below average, but despite being bad at dribbling and shooting he can be a dangerous opponent. He specializes in circulating passes without being seen. Because of his largely complementary skill set, Kuroko considers himself a "shadow" whose goal is to help his "light" achieve greatness.

Name meaning: Great Shine of the Blue Peak Birthday: August 31 Age: 16 Height: 192 cm (6'3 ½'') Weight: 85 kg Blood type: B Zodiac: Virgo School: Teiko (formerly), Touou Academy (currently) Favorite food: Teriyaki burger Hobby: looking up gravure/gravure idols Number: #6 (Teiko), #5 (Touou) Position: Power Forward Talents: Skill and Agility, Unusual Speed, Formless Shots, Freestyle Basketball, Zone Play Aomine was the ace of Teikou's team, embracing an aggressive and liquid style, made even more powerful by Kuroko's misdirection. In fact, Aomine was once Kuroko's "Light," before Kagami. Incredibly fast and versatile, Aomine's strength lies in his unpredictability, as well as an uncanny ability to shoot from virtually any position. In his second year in middle school, Aomine inspired Kise to play basketball and he became his training partner. Kise was still a complete rookie, apart from his copying ability, and Aomine was obviously stronger than him, but Aomine kept training with Kise, just because he loves basketball. He taught Kise a lot and became his mentor/idol. During that time, Aomine also became the ace of the team. Though he loves basketball, he has grown sardonic and unenthusiastic toward the sport, skipping practice and even arriving late for important matches. This is due to his frustration in not being able to find an opponent capable of matching his skill, and thus making him conclude that the only one that can defeat him is he himself. He and Momoi are childhood friends. Even though he doesn't show it, he's actually really fond of her, and they have a sibling-like relationship.

Birthdate: June 18 Age: 16 Height: 189 cm (6' 2") Weight: 77 kg (170 lbs) Blood type: A Star-sign: Gemini School: Teiko (formerly), Kaijō High (currently) Number: #8 (Teiko), #7 (Kaijō) Position: Small Forward Talent: Copy, Perfect Copy Mottō: "Be honest with yourself" Hobbies: Karaoke Now a freshman at Kaijou High, Kise was the rookie of the "Generation of Miracles." Since he only started playing basketball in his second year of middle school, Kise was his team's least experienced member, and notes himself the weakest of the five. Kise's unique skill is his ability to mimic the moves and plays of other players. The only moves he cannot copy are the special skills of truly exceptional players, like the other members of the "Generation of Miracles." Beyond being a strong player in his own right, Kise respects Kuroko's abilities and wishes to play with him once again. He seems to have a slight obsession with Kuroko, believing that they were the two who got along most in middle school (though Kuroko said they didn't) and often blurting out random facts about him (mentioning that Kuroko was an Aquarius, even though Kasamatsu was talking about Midorima). Also, he's a model in his free time, so girls are always mobbing him. He has two older sisters who got him into modeling at the first place.

Name meaning: Paratman's Fire God Birthday: August 2 Age: 16 Height: 190 cm (6'3'') Weight: 82 kg (180.7 lbs) Blood type: A Zodiac: Leo School: Seirin High Number:10 Position: Power forward Favourite food: Burgers Dislike: Dogs Talent: Jumping power, zone play. Kagami was in America until second year of middle school and has recently come back to Japan in his first year on senior high. He is determined to surpass "The Generation of Miracles" and become the number 1. Along with Kuroko, they're the only two freshmen allowed to play in matches. At the start of this manga, Kagami is shown to have a huge potential—good build, height, skill in basketball—but his strongest weapon is his inhuman jump. With those jumps (that gradually gets higher and higher every time he jumps), he managed to block his opponent's attacks. He's really bad at studying and always get low grades even in English (even though he's a returnee!). He's unexpectedly good at cooking, since he lives alone, and he also has an enormous appetite, which is shown when he orders tons of burgers. In the past, he was attacked by a dog, and that made him afraid of dogs until now (but later on he's able to deal with Tetsu No. 2, Seirin's pet dog). Even though it looks like they always disagree over things, he and Kuroko are actually on good terms, and they're called Seirin's Freshmen Duo.

Age: 16 Height: 195 cm (6'4") Weight: 174 lbs (79 kg) Birthday: July 7 Blood type: B Sign: Cancer Likes: Red bean soup, Oha-Asa Dislikes: Cats School: Teiko (Former) Shuutoku High School Position: Shooting Guard Special ability: Shooting from anywhere on the court (Far-Distance Shooter) Midorima often acts reserved, mean, and brusque with others, coming off as arrogant—although Takao claims Midorima is just "tsundere." He has a hard time acting kind to his opponents and generally hates "fooling around" (although Takao often pursues him into it). He can be seen, at all times, with a lucky item due to his strong belief and passion for horoscope. He is left-handed, and always bandages his dominant hand outside of matches (claiming that his hand must be in perfect condition so nothing will influence his shot). He also shapes his nails so that his hands will be in perfect form for shooting. Formerly a member of the basketball team of Teikou Middle School, Midorima is a member of the Generation of Miracles (Kiseki no Sedai); during his time with Teikou, his jersey number was seven, switching to six as he joined Shūtoku's. He also served as a vice-captain under Akashi. His strength is his absolute accuracy, which is shown in his shots that always go in. He can shoot accurately no matter how far he is from the ring. He is also a really good defender (Source: Kuroko no Basket Wikia)

Debut: Chapter 73 (Manga), Episode 25 (First Season) Birthdate: October 9 Age: 16 Height: 208 cm (6' 8") Weight: 99 kg (218 lbs) Blood type: O Starsign: Libra School: Teikou (former), Yousen (current) Number: #5 (Teikou), #9 (Yousen) Position: Center Talent: Monstrous Strength, Powerful Offense & Defense, Zone Play Motto: "Sweets are Justice" Murasakibara has 3 older brothers and 1 older sister. Formerly playing center for Teikou Middle School's basketball team, he does the same now for Yousen High School. Beyond possessing shoulder-length, purple hair, Murasakibara is immediately recognizable for his great height, at least ten centimeters taller than any other currently revealed member of the Generation of Miracles. Murasakibara likes snacks, a lot. He is sometimes seen carrying tons of snacks wherever he goes. The everyday Murasakibara is childish and often teases people, but once he's on the court, his personality changes. Because of his natural height and great talent, he doesn't care very much for basketball, and he said that he's annoyed seeing average people going so far on playing basketball. He is said to be one of the greatest center among high school players in Japan.
