Unit: RYUSEITAI
Club: Basketball Club
Chiaki's the kind of guy who thrives on being needed. He's got this natural leadership thing going on—super enthusiastic to the point where it can get annoying, but there's no real bite to it. He's genuinely good-natured and high-spirited, the type of upperclassman people actually want to follow.
What drives him most is teamwork. He gets that nobody wins alone, and he makes sure every member of the group has their moment—he actually insists everyone has their own introductory line. It's a small thing, but it shows how he thinks.
He's weirdly touchy-feely for a basketball player, and he's got this genuine admiration for superheroes that bleeds into how he approaches being a leader. Quick reflexes on the court, but he's also chronically getting himself injured, which means he's practically a regular at the school doctor's office. Jin Sagami probably knows him by name at this point. Still doesn't slow him down much though.
