jin soichiro

Year: 2nd Year
Height/Weight: 189 cm, 71 kg
Jersey Number: #6
Position: Shooting Guard
Birthday: Oct 27
Voice Actors: Nobutoshi Kanna
Jin is considered one of the top sharpshooters in Kanagawa, rivaled only by Mitsui. Initially, he played as a center, but his slim build, slow movement, and weak jumping ability hindered his performance in that role. Rather than becoming discouraged, Jin switched to shooting guard, where he could better utilize his skills. His dedication to perfecting his three-point shot, practicing 500 three-pointers daily after practice, earned him recognition from his coach for his persistence and commitment. Jin has a gentle and calm demeanor, always appearing composed and agreeable. He knows Fukuda from middle school, as they were both on the basketball team together.
