OVERVIEW
Hayama Kōtarō is Rakuzan's second-year small forward and Uncrowned King—the Thunder Beast. At 180 cm, he has cat eyes, and a dribble that uses all five fingers. He cannot sit still.
His Lightning Dribble is a crossover that gets faster the more fingers he uses, and earns him the title of Uncrowned King.
