OVERVIEW

Kimura Shinsuke is Shūtoku's third-year power forward. Shaved black hair, a 10/10 stamina bar, and a face that looks like it belongs in a wrestling magazine, he is Miyaji's partner in crime whenever Midorima needs a pineapple to the head. His family's greengrocer business and mini truck are always a hot topic of conversation.

His finish is a power dribble into a layup—when Miyaji complains he should have dunked, Kimura's answer is that not everybody can. He cannot dunk.
