Year: 3rd Year
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 66 kg
Position: Point Guard/Coach
Jersey Number: #4
Kenji Fujima serves as both the player and coach for Shoyo High. He only steps onto the court when absolutely necessary, such as when the team is trailing or struggling. His teammates hold him in such high regard that they strive to avoid needing his presence on the court, and even the mere indication of him leaving the bench motivates them to play more intensely. His demeanor changes depending on whether he's coaching or playing; off the court, he is calm, gentle, and friendly, often personally interacting with his fans kindly. However, on the court, he becomes confident, spirited, and even ruthless. As Maki mentions in volume #10, "As a player, he's far from rational."
Fujima plays the role of a typical point guard, directing his team and distributing the ball, while also shooting and scoring when needed. He stands out as one of the top point guards in the Kanagawa prefecture and is a formidable opponent on the court.
During the first round of the National Championships, when Shohoku faces Toyotama High School, Fujima is mentioned. Toyotama's captain, Tsuyoshi Minami, known as the "Ace Killer," injured Fujima in a previous match, causing him to be sidelined due to injury. Consequently, Shoyo lost that match to Toyotama.
