Chiaki Hanazono

Chiaki Hanazono serves as the strategic core of Kuzuryū High's basketball squad, wielding an exceptional passing ability and a broad court vision that few can match. Off the court, he comes across as easygoing and unconventional, yet once the game begins, his remarkable memory and pinpoint passing take full control of the flow. After growing disillusioned when teammates struggled to keep pace with his level, he stepped away from basketball—until an encounter with Sora Kurumatani reignited his passion and restored him to his rightful place as the team's offensive architect.
