Characters AniList lists in a main role, with spoiler-free notes.

• 

  Tetsuya Kuroko 黒子テツヤ

  Main character

  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.

  Japanese voice: Kenshou Ono

• 

  Taiga Kagami 火神大我

  Main character

  Kagami was in America until second year of middle school and has recently come back to Japan in his first year of high school. He is determined to surpass "The Generation of Miracles" and become the number one. Along with Kuroko, they're the only two freshmen allowed to play in matches.

  Japanese voice: Yuuki Ono

Supporting characters

• 

  Riko Aida 相田リコ

  Supporting character

  She is the coach of the basketball team. She has the ability to be able to tell the potential of each basketball player just by looking at their bodies. Her ability works best when the players are shirtless. She got this ability by following her father to work.

  Japanese voice: Chiwa Saitou

• 

  Ryouta Kise 黄瀬涼太

  Supporting character

  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.

  Japanese voice: Ryouhei Kimura

• 

  Shun Izuki 伊月俊

  Supporting character

  A Seirin sophomore who is known for being calm and composed. He also tends to make lame puns. His special ability is his Eagle Eye, which allows him to 'see' his selected area on the court without actually looking.

  Japanese voice: Hirofumi Nojima

• 

  Rinnosuke Mitobe 水戸部凛之助

  Supporting character

  A hard working player who has never spoken in front of his team members. For some reason, Koganei can understand what's on his mind and then speaks for him. Mitobe is the eldest son in a really big family, with a lot of brothers and sisters.

• 

  Shintarou Midorima 緑間真太郎

  Supporting character

  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).

  Japanese voice: Daisuke Ono

• 

  Junpei Hyuuga 日向順平

  Supporting character

  Sophomore and Seirin basketball club's captain. His specialty is 3 pointers, and can shoot accurately even if under extreme pressure. He's the team's clutch during tough situations. Hyuuga really likes to collect ancient Japanese warrior figurines (ex: Masamune, Yukimura, etc) and treasures them a lot.

  Japanese voice: Yoshimasa Hosoya

• 

  Shinji Koganei 小金井慎二

  Supporting character

  A Seirin sophomore. Considered a jack of all trades, master of none, Koganei is a fairly skilled all-rounder. This is driven home when his coach denotes his special skill as "being able to shoot from any point on the court, with a so-so accuracy rate"; a decidedly normal ability.

  Japanese voice: Takuya Eguchi

• 

  Daiki Aomine 青峰大輝

  Supporting character

  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.

  Japanese voice: Junichi Suwabe

• 

  Satsuki Momoi 桃井さつき

  Supporting character

  The ex-manager of the basketball team at Teikou, and now serving as Touou's manager. She's in fact Aomine's childhood friend and enters Touou together with him because she can't leave him alone. She is actually in love with Kuroko and considers herself to be Kuroko's girlfriend.

  Japanese voice: Fumiko Orikasa

• 

  Atsushi Murasakibara 紫原敦

  Supporting character

  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…

  Japanese voice: Kenichi Suzumura

• 

  Tatsuya Himuro 氷室辰也

  Supporting character

  One of the main players of the Yosen High basketball team, Himuro was the one who introduced and taught Kagami about basketball in the United States. Originally around the same level of skill as Kagami, he has since apparently evolved to equal the members of the Generation of Miracles.

  Japanese voice: Kishou Taniyama

• 

  Seijuurou Akashi 赤司征十郎

  Supporting character

  The final member of the Generation of Miracles, he stood at their head as captain, leading their team to uncontested victory during the three years he played for Teikou Middle School. He is uninterested in winning, simply because victory in his eyes is an absolute given, requisite to his own life as much as breathing.

  Japanese voice: Hiroshi Kamiya
