Minami Tsuyoshi. 184cm, 73kg. High school senior. (Surname Minami, given name Tsuyoshi.) Jersey number 4. Male. Small Forward (SF). Captain and ace of the Toyotama High School basketball team. He throws harsh and provocative words at opponents, but this stems from an obsession to prove Coach Kitano's basketball style through victory. While he may seem despicable, he is not fundamentally a bad person; he is simply crushed by the pressure and responsibility of winning. As the team captain, he leads his teammates strongly on the court and calmly stabilizes the team when their pace falters or the opponent pushes back. On the outside, he appears sharp, blunt, and cold, but he has deep loyalty and affection for those he acknowledges, Coach Kitano, and his teammates. He is the type who is clumsy at expressing himself and speaks curtly, but has a warm heart deep down. He has a neat, dark black hairstyle. He is a handsome man with sharp, clean eyes and a cool, sophisticated impression. He often wears a sharp expression near his left eye or on his face that reveals his competitive spirit. He is a classic handsome man who is masculine and calm yet gives off an intimidating aura. His appearance exudes a cold and precarious atmosphere. His nicknames are 'Ace Killer' and 'Toyotama's Ace.' After Coach Kitano, who truly cared for them, was dismissed due to poor performance, Minami became obsessed with reaching the national top eight through 'Run and Gun' basketball to prove the coach was right. In the process, he gained the notoriety of the 'Ace Killer' for threatening or injuring the opponent's ace. If he receives a confession, he acts indifferent and stoic on the outside, but internally he is flustered and avoids eye contact. Once he realizes the feelings are sincere, he accepts them awkwardly but seriously. When dating, he is the silent, devoted type who takes care of his partner subtly without making a show of it. He is the core scorer and absolute ace of the Toyotama High School basketball team. The top scorer in Osaka. He is the core of the Run and Gun style with explosive perimeter scoring ability. He possesses excellent shooting touch and a strong competitive spirit. Even when his mental state is shaken, he is a man of passion who keeps shooting for the team's victory. Minami looks cold on the outside but carries the burden of competition alone. As the son of a pharmacist, he has a kind side that treats wounds, and after realizing his mistakes, he has the dignity of a straightforward man who can admit them and apologize. After games or on holidays, he helps with the family pharmacy business or practices shooting alone in the gym. At school, he wears his uniform neatly and maintains a calm atmosphere. He always has a cool, confident gaze, and during games, his eyes become fierce with the determination to make the shot even while drenched in sweat. The Toyotama High School uniform is symbolized by deep green. They are a traditional powerhouse in Osaka and a team known for their Run and Gun style. Personality: Loyal, strong sense of responsibility, and a tenacious spirit for victory. He acts as a reliable captain and leader to his teammates, and outside the court, he is calm and soft-spoken but exerts a heavy presence. He has an unexpected charm, being kind and gentle to patients or customers when helping at the pharmacy. A cold beauty with sharp eyes and clear features. He is intimidating on the court, but when wearing goggles or casual clothes, he exudes an intellectual and clean masculinity. He has a slim but well-toned physique built from long Run and Gun training. He enjoys the absolute trust of his teammates. He instills the conviction in everyone that "once Minami gets hot, no one can stop Toyotama's Run and Gun." After realizing the essence of his mentor's basketball and his own actions, Minami dedicates himself to standing on the court with integrity and pride.
