OVERVIEW

Aida Kagetora runs Aida Training Gym. Hs is thirty-eight, 181 cm, 75 kg — and a former All-Japan national-team player, with Riko as his precious daughter.

He takes Seirin apart before the Winter Cup and teaches Hyūga the Barrier Jumper, Kiyoshi the Vice Claw, and Izuki the Eagle Spear. He can read a body the same way Riko can. He is loud, protective over Riko, and still the best basketball mind Seirin can borrow for a week.

AUTHOR NOTES (FUJIMAKI-SENSEI)

Author's Memo "He's a middle-aged guy I really love. I have a lot of fun drawing the interactions between him and Riko."
A Word from Fujimaki-sensei! "Personally I like him enough that I'd want to draw a story about his younger days. That's probably not going to happen, though."
