【First Edition】SLAMDUNK Carddass Masters #NO.29 Hanamichi Sakuragi BANDAI 1998 made in JAPAN Takehiko Inoue Illustration Collection SLAMDUNK #NO.29 HANAMICHI SAKURAGI "For Weekly Shonen Jump '95 Issue 21/22 Combined Issue Telephone Card" Slam Dunk Carddass Masters Takehiko Inoue 【Hanamichi Sakuragi】 He has a cocky, rebellious, and competitive personality, and is a confident person who calls himself a genius. Because he came from a delinquent background, he has a very violent temper and is quick to fight, and is rude. He is arrogant and familiar with his seniors and coach on his team, as well as players and coaches from other schools, and tends to use disrespectful nicknames without any remorse, as described later. Therefore, he often causes discomfort to players and coaches on opposing teams. He also has a delicate, kind, and pure side, and there are parts where he internalizes his emotions. The Sakuragi Army calls his personality "introverted." Surprisingly, he is a hard worker, often staying after practice to practice, and using his school breaks to practice alone, and he is depicted practicing shooting and running early in the morning. This hardworking and single-minded aspect is also reflected in his view of love (described later). His playing style, his red shaved head, and his uniform are said to be modeled after Dennis Rodman, but the author denies this, saying, "There is no model for Sakuragi. If anything, it's Charles Barkley." In fact, Rodman dyed his hair red and played for the Chicago Bulls, which is said to be the model for Shohoku High School, after the serialization of Slam Dunk began. Thank you for viewing.
