Shintaro Midorima
A stoic shooting guard from the Generation of Miracles who never misses a shot from anywhere on the court, provided he follows his daily horoscopes and carries his lucky items.
Story
Shintaro Midorima was the vice-captain and shooting guard of the legendary Teiko Junior High basketball team, known as the Generation of Miracles. He is defined by his absolute precision and his eccentric belief in Oha Asa horoscopes. After graduating from Teiko, he joined Shutoku High School, one of the Three Kings of Tokyo. Midorima is a perfectionist who believes that 'Man proposes, God disposes,' meaning he does everything humanly possible to ensure success, including taping his fingers and carrying bizarre lucky items. Initially, he was a solitary player who refused to rely on teammates, believing his individual skill was sufficient. However, through his partnership with Kazunari Takao and his losses against Seirin High, he learns the value of teamwork and trust, eventually developing the 'Sky Direct Three-Point Shot.' Despite his cold exterior, he deeply respects his former teammates and takes the sport with utmost seriousness, never neglecting his training or his rituals.
