Family and background:
There is not much known about Rukawa's family. But as we look at his Nike outfit, Panasonic walkman and cool bike we get the idea that he's from a quite wealthy family. He attended the Tomigaoka Junior High. He was the basketball team captain and was already a very well known player. Although Ryonan's coach asked him to join the Ryonan Basketball Team, Rukawa chose for Shohoku. (Because it's near his home...) He doesn't have any close friends. Rukawa is extremely popular in his school, he has his own cheerleaders club, that started with three girls but grew out to a LOT. Besides, he also has a great fan called Ichiro Mizumasa who is still attending his Junior Highschool and has become the basketball team's captain after Rukawa left. Ichiro's biggest dream is to become national champion along with Rukawa. Unfortunately, Ichiro has a terrible injury on his knee, has to undergo surgery and won't be able to play basketball anymore.
Special abilities:
Rukawa is an all-round player: he can play defense and offense as well, he is much more known for his incredible scoring ability though! He has a very nice and accurate jump shoot, good inside moves, fancy slam dunks and eventually hits three-pointers. His free throws are accurate,he also has a nice dribble and is a good rebounder due to his length and athletic jumping ability. He likes to play the one-on-one game, for it gives him the best challenge. On his way to the basket he'll never pass the ball to his teammates, always believing in his own skills and dedicated to this kind of playing style. In the game vs Sannoh he lost his one-on-one attempts vs probably the best player in Highschool Sawakita, during that game he changes his game and starts giving assists. In the second game of the IH games vs Toyotama High, he gets injured on his eye and was able to play with one eye (not being able to see depth nor estimate distances). He even closed his eyes while taking free throws.
Coach Anzai sees a great talent in him and knows he'll be a marvelous national player. He said that Rukawa's addition to the team is his explosive powers and his ever lasting will to win.
Thanks to all these outstanding qualities, Rukawa was chosen to one of the five best players of Kanagawa, along with Akagi, Kainan's Maki and Jin, and Ryonan's Sendoh.
And then an ability that hasn't much to do with basketball: sleeping. Rukawa's life seems to be dedicated to two things: basketball and sleeping. He can sleep even when he's biking... Thanks to his rudeness he gets into fights a lot, and he happens to be a very good fighter as well. (Yeah, some guys get all the good stuff...)
Special features:
Rukawa is always very serious, cool and doesn't speak a lot. So his smileless face could be a feature... The sweatband around his left arm (kinda like Jordan's). He has quite long bangs and no.11 is of course his trademark jersey number.
Personality:
Rukawa is a very cool person and seems not to care about anything but basketball. His passion for basketball and sleeping are the only things he has in mind. He is kinda rude to most of the people he meets, but to the ladies he is less rude, just silent. He hates when people disturb him when he's asleep, mostly he'll beat those people up, even if those are teachers... Rukawa is definitely a person of action rather than words. When his team is behind, he's always the person who steps up and takes over the game. A lot of people consider Rukawa as the most selfish person ever, but he doesn't care about what others think about him. Rukawa is a confident and independent person for sure. He only has respect for people that are strong and capable, but those are also the people that he sees as rivals and wants to defeat very badly. He hates to lose and just can't stand it...

Name:Rukawa Kaede
Height:6'0"
Favorite quote:"stupid"
He is a stubborn man and hates to lose.. (when they lose to Kainan, coach Anzai decided to accept a practice game with Ryukufu high to gain back their confidence!)He wants to go to America and continue playing basketball. He asked Coach Anzai if its ok but the latter didn't agree and told him that Rukawa should be the no.1 player in Japan before going to America.
He smiles during his fight against the no.1 team of Japan...
