Minato, Tomoka

湊智花

She is the team's top player and the only member with prior basketball experience. Subaru quickly recognizes her significant potential, and her talent and dedication convince him to continue coaching the team. Her time at Keishin Academy has been brief; at her previous school, her obsession with winning led to isolation and forced her to transfer. At Keishin Academy, she has made new friends and come to understand that victory is not everything. Although she still loves basketball, Tomoka refuses to play unless her friends are with her. Among the girls, Tomoka is the one who grows closest to Subaru and appears to like him the most.
Tomoka's playing style is widely referred to as "point forward" because of her versatility across multiple positions, though she struggles to play point guard effectively due to her excessive politeness toward teammates and her anxiety about making errors in running the offense.
With Saki taking over the point guard role, Tomoka can now concentrate more on offense, as she simply needs to attack the defense while Saki handles the strategic thinking.
