Shintarou Midorima

About Midorima, Shintarou

Sign: Cancer Likes: Red bean soup, Oha-Asa Dislikes: Cats School: Teiko (Former) Shuutoku High School Position: Shooting Guard Special ability: Shooting from anywhere on the court (Far-Distance Shooter) Midorima comes across as cold and dismissive, with a sharp edge that makes him seem pretty arrogant. His teammate Takao insists it's just tsundere behavior, but either way, he's not one for casual banter or going easy on opponents. What he is consistent about is carrying a lucky item—he's genuinely superstitious and takes horoscope readings seriously. Being left-handed shapes everything about how he approaches the game. Outside of matches, he keeps his dominant hand bandaged to ensure it stays in perfect condition for shooting, and he even maintains his nails meticulously. It might seem obsessive, but for someone whose whole game hinges on precision, it makes sense. Midorima was part of the Generation of Miracles back at Teikou Middle School, wearing number seven before switching to six when he moved to Shūtoku High. He served as vice-captain under Akashi during those years. His defining skill is his near-perfect shooting accuracy—he can drain shots from anywhere on the court, no matter the distance. Beyond that, he's also a solid defender, making him a complete threat on both ends.
