The First Slam Dunk - Late Night; Anime
Driven by the loss of his brother, Ryota Miyagi leads his team into a thrilling basketball showdown against a seemingly unbeatable rival.
The First Slam Dunk follows high school student Ryota Miyagi, the point guard of Shohoku High’s basketball team. Ryota plays with intelligence and speed, using a façade of calm to outwit his opponents. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota follows in the footsteps of his older brother, Sota — a beloved local basketball star from a young age — who inspired Ryota’s own passion for the game.
After Sota’s passing, Ryota is driven by a deep determination to keep going, no matter what. Alongside his teammates Hanamichi Sakuragi, Takenori Akagi, Hisashi Mitsui, and Kaede Rukawa, Ryota takes on their long-standing rival, the powerhouse Sannoh School, in the ultimate high school basketball showdown.
The First Slam Dunk volgt de scholier Ryota Miyagi, de pointguard van het basketbalteam van Shohoku High. Ryota speelt verstandig en snel, en met geveinsde kalmte probeert hij zijn tegenstanders te slim af te zijn. Geboren en getogen in Okinawa, treedt Ryota in de voetsporen van zijn oudere broer, Sota, die al vanaf jonge leeftijd een geliefde lokale basketbalspeler was, waardoor Ryota ook verslaafd raakte aan basketbal.
Na het overlijden van Sota, wordt Ryota gemotiveerd om altijd door te zetten. Ryota en zijn teamgenoten Hanamichi Sakuragi, Takenori Akagi, Hisashi Mitsui, en Kaede Rukawa dagen hun gedoodverfde tegenstander, de Sannoh School, uit in de basketbalwedstrijd tussen de middelbare scholen.
