Slam Dunk Theater: Hanamichi Sakuragi

Hanamichi Sakuragi

( 'Hana' = flower, 'michi' = road, 'Sakura' = a kind of beautiful Japanese flower, 'gi' = tree. Flower road, sakura blossom. )

Hanamichi Sakuragi is a freshman and knows not to quit in the game, in fact when the team is in amidst of defeat, he changes the mood and lifts the fighting spirit of the entire Shohoku Team. He started from the basics of basketball to a mastery in each department, everyone says that he learned very fast in a short period of time. Being known for his high leaping ability, blocking shots, flexibility, superior stamina and monstrous job in grabbing rebounds, he found himself and earned the title as Kanagawa’s "King of Rebounds." Though he's not that tall for being a Center, his leaping ability can be said on the top level. Being unpredictable in almost game... he deserves to be called "tensai" (genius). By the time they know why he called himself a tensai... it will be too late for them! "The one who controls the rebound, controls the game!"
