Natsuhi Takenaka (竹中 夏陽 Takenaka Natsuhi ) is the captain of the Keishin boys basketball team whose jersey number is 4.
He initially insists that the Keishin girls basketball team does not deserve to exist, as to him, its members are only playing around instead of truly competing.
He has a crush on Hinata Hakamada, a fact known by all of his classmates, but Hinata never views him in a romantic way. He's also the childhood friend of Maho Misawa and Saki Nagatsuka.
He is very competitive with Tomoka Minato, who beats him in a free throw contest and has an angry feud with Maho, but apparently made up with her.
He also accuses Subaru Hasegawa (much like Subaru's friend Kazunari Uehara does in jest) of being a lolicon.
Etymology[]
- The name Natsuhi means "summer" (夏) (natsu) and "light, sun, male" (陽) (hi).
- Natsuhi's surname Takenaka means "bamboo" (竹) (take) and "middle" (中) (naka), which literally means "dweller amongst bamboo".
