Hisashi Imai

Imai-senpai, as he is called by all the first-years (thus, most of the basketball team), is a friendly, easy-going type of fellow, who seems to spend as much time coaching the team as playing (even though there is technically supposed to be a coach...). He is one of the first characters introduced and seems to play a large role in the first chapter, but afterwards is reduced to a supporting character whose frequency of appearance wavers quite a bit. Still, he is well-liked by everyone on the team.
