Aomine Daiki

Aomine Daiki (青峰 大輝) was the ace player of the renowned Generation of Miracles and was the former partner/light of Kuroko Tetsuya in Teikō. Aomine is very tall and muscular, with brown skin which is darker than most characters. He has navy blue hair that is quite short. He often has a frown on his face, with his dark blue eyes slightly squinted.

He currently plays as the ace and power forward of Tōō Academy. He was the main antagonist until the first round of the Winter Cup.

Aomine was the ace of Teikou's team, embracing an aggressive and liquid style, made even more powerful by Kuroko's misdirection. Incredibly fast and versatile, Aomine's strength lies in his unpredictability, as well as an uncanny ability to shoot from virtually any position.

In his second year in middle school, Aomine inspired Kise to play basketball and he became his training partner. Kise was still a complete rookie, apart from his copying ability, and Aomine was obviously stronger than him, but Aomine kept training with Kise, just because he loves basketball. He taught Kise a lot and became his mentor/idol. During that time, Aomine also became the ace of the team.

Though he loves basketball, he has grown sardonic and unenthusiastic toward the sport, skipping practice and even arriving late for important matches. This is due to his frustration in not being able to find an opponent capable of matching his skill, and thus making him conclude that the only one that can defeat him is he himself.

He and Momoi are childhood friends. Even though he doesn't show it, he's actually really fond of her, and they have a sibling-like relationship.
