Yayoi Aida is Hikoichi's older sister and works as a reporter for a weekly basketball magazine. Although her brother plays for Ryonan, she is mostly assigned to cover Shohoku matches, where she is consistently impressed by the Shohoku players' performances, particularly since they often face stronger opponents like Kainan or Sannoh. During the National Championship, however, she gets to observe Sannoh's exercise training routines. She is almost always accompanied by a bubbly trainee named Nakamura, who handles the driving when they travel from gym to gym, even though he drives slowly because he has only recently obtained his driver's license. She also has a huge crush on Ryonan ace Sendoh.
