OVERVIEW

Liu Wei is Yōsen's second-year small forward and a Chinese exchange student. At 203 cm, with a long face, thin eyebrows, and a 9/10 in both physical ability and technique—he is an intimidating beast in the paint.

He is the Aegis Shield's second tower: he crashes every miss, walls the paint with Okamura, and stays after the third years graduate.
