【First Edition】SLAMDUNK Carddass Masters #NO.23 Shohoku BANDAI 1998 made in JAPAN Takehiko Inoue Illustration Collection SLAMDUNK #NO.23 TEAM SHOHOKU "Cut for Private Telephone Card" Slam Dunk Carddass Masters 【Team Shohoku】 A prefectural high school located in Kanagawa Prefecture. The main characters of "SLAM DUNK," Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, Takenori Akagi, Ryota Miyagi, and Hisashi Mitsui, attend this school. The school that served as the model for the school building is Tokyo Metropolitan Musashino Kita High School. In the year before the story and the previous year, they lost in the first round of the Kanagawa Prefecture Inter-High qualifiers, but in this work, they become an active, unknown, but strong team due to the addition and return of powerful members. Their basic playing style is run-and-gun offense with man-to-man defense. Reporters say, "They are one of the top teams in the prefecture in terms of offensive power" and "They are flashy and look good." The team's depth is thin, and the starting lineup after the Shoyo game (Akagi, Mitsui, Ryota, Rukawa, Sakuragi) are all nationally recognized, but if even one player is missing, their strength decreases against strong schools. On the other hand, due to Sakuragi's repeated ejections, reserve players other than Kogure also had many opportunities to play. They recorded a 100-point game in the fourth round of the Inter-High qualifiers and the Takezato game in the final league, where Sakuragi overslept and didn't play, demonstrating their high offensive power. In the first round of the Inter-High, against Toyotama, Kiyota points out that "their start in the game is bad," but Mikoshiba, who played against them three times in the practice games during the Shizuoka training camp, said, "They have many weaknesses, but when they hit their stride, they are terrifyingly strong." Weekly Basketball's overall evaluation of the schools participating in the Inter-High is C rank. They often use the cheer "Defense! Defense!" Also, it is the only high school in the work that is explicitly stated to be public. According to Akagi's classmates, "It's a school where ordinary high school students with no special talents gather," but the internal situation is full of mysteries, such as the fact that a leading figure in the Japanese basketball world was the coach, and that the academically and athletically gifted Akagi and the failing Sakuragi are enrolled.
