Junpei Hyuga is the team captain and “clutch shooter,” and Teppei Kiyoshi plays the center position. He’s known for his jumping ability and can easily match up to the Generation of Miracles players with his great offensive and defensive skills.Īs for the supporting cast, you should take note of a few other Seirin High basketball players. Taiga Kagami is a gifted basketball player and plays the power forward position at Seirin. He’s quiet and blends-in the crowd rather than stand out, which he uses as an advantage while on the court. Tetsuya Kuroko is the “sixth man” on the Generation of Miracles team and is known for his incredible passing abilities and misdirection skills. The main two protagonists of Kuroko's Basketball are the first-year Seirin High students, Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami. Kuroko, Taiga Kagami, and the other Seirin High basketball members plan to make their school the number one team in Japan while also taking on the Generation of Miracles players in the process.

Now a high school student, Kuroko attends Seirin High School, which has a little-known basketball team. But though people only knew of five star players in the Generation of Miracles, there was a sixth star member of the team - a quiet teenager named Tetsuya Kuroko. After graduating from middle school, the five basketball stars went to different high schools that had top basketball teams. The series opens with an epic tale about five basketball players known as the “Generation of Miracles,” who dominated every other team. Tadatoshi Fujimaki also produced a sequel to the series entitled Kuroko’s Basketball: Extra Game (2014-16). Alongside the anime series, there are two anime films, Kuroko’s Basketball: Winter Cup Compilation (2016) and Kuroko’s Basketball The Movie: Last Game (2017). It was previously licensed by Crunchyroll and now Netflix.

The series received serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2008-14 and was adapted into a 75-episode anime series by Production I.G from 2012-15. Kuroko’s Basketball was written and illustrated by Tadatoshi Fujimaki.
