  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Keishin Private Academy Girls Basketball Team

Subaru Hasegawa

File:Ro-kyu-bu subaru hasegawa 1615.jpg
Cquote1

 Position: Head Coach

Cquote2
Cquote1

 Voiced by: Yuuki Kaji

Cquote2

The protagonist and a freshman at Nashiba High School, whose dreams of playing in their boys' basketball team took a heartbreaking blow when the team was meted out a year-long suspension for its captain allegedly hitting on their adviser's daughter, a sixth-grade schoolgirl. In the meantime, he reluctantly accepts his aunt Mihoshi's part-time job offer as coach of her school's girls' basketball team, of which she is the adviser.


  • Accidental Pervert
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: It was his skills and tactical genius that took a historically winless middle school team to the regional final, and eventually, turned a group of cute little girls into a decent basketball team capable of keeping up with one of the best grade school teams in the region (and perhaps the whole nation).
  • Big Brother Mentor
  • Broken Pedestal: Felt this way to his idol, the high school's boys' basketball captain, in light of the latter's Lolicon scandal.
  • Childhood Friends: With Aoi.
  • Cool Big Bro: To his proteges in a surrogate way.
  • The Mentor
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend: His reaction to anyone who insinuates that he may have feelings for Aoi (the latter replies in kind). Their friends, including the five girls, aren't convinced.
  • Signature Move: The scoop shot, which he used to beat his rival during their rematch. He passes it on to Tomoka as well.
  • Ship Tease: With both Tomoka and Aoi.
  • Tsundere: A mild male Type A, in that he's generally cavalier to others (or at least that's his way of coping with the suspension of his team), but turns out to be a caring Cool Big Bro to his proteges. He is also hinted to have awkward feelings for Aoi.

  • Took A Level In Badass: In the first season, she was very prone to committing errors due to her impulsiveness.
