Kousuke Wakamatsu

Kousuke Wakamatsu is the second-year center for Touou Academy. He uses his massive physical presence to dominate the paint through heavy rebounding. While his loud and easily provoked temperament can be intimidating, his defensive skills are vital to the team's success. He often clashes with Aomine, harboring deep resentment toward the ace's careless attitude and the preferential treatment he receives. This friction is driven by a mix of personal envy and a sincere desire to protect the team's future.
