aida yayoi

Yayoi Aida is Hikoichi's elder sister and works as a reporter for a weekly basketball magazine. Despite her brother playing for Ryonan, she is usually assigned to cover Shohoku games, where she is consistently impressed by the team's performances, especially when they face tough opponents like Kainan or Sannoh. During the National Championship, she gets the chance to observe Sannoh's training routines. She is almost always accompanied by an enthusiastic trainee named Nakamura, who drives them from gym to gym, albeit slowly, as he has just obtained his driving license. Additionally, Yayoi has a major crush on Sendoh, Ryonan's ace player.
