Kuroko's Basketball (黒子のバスケ, Kuroko no Basuke) is a Japanese sports manga series written and illustrated by Tadatoshi Fujimaki.

The Teiko Middle School basketball team dominated basketball teams within Japan, winning the middle school Nationals for three consecutive years. The star players of the team became known as the "Generation of Miracles". After graduating from middle school, the five star players went to different high schools with top basketball teams. However, there was a rumor that there was another player in the "Generation of Miracles": a phantom sixth man. This mysterious player is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Tetsuya Kuroko – the sixth member of the "Generation of Miracles", and Taiga Kagami – a naturally talented player who spent most of his youth in the US, aim to bring Seirin to the top of Japan by taking on Kuroko's former teammates one by one. The series chronicles Seirin's rise to become Japan's number one high school team.

Riko Aida (相田 リコAida RikoRiko is a second-year student and the coach of Seirin. Despite being a student, she is very authoritative while acting as coach. She has the unique ability to scan and evaluate the physical capabilities of players at a glance, which she gained from work with her sports trainer father and spending her time looking at the muscles of athletes and their related data. She is very devoted to the team and even uses her father's sports facilities to devise unique training programs. She is a very bad cook, almost always making people sick after eating her food.

Satsuki Momoi (桃井 さつき, Momoi Satsuki) Formerly the manager of Teikō's "Generation of Miracles", she is now the manager of Tōō Academy's team. Proclaiming herself to be Kuroko's girlfriend, she harbors a vivid fascination for her former teammate, hugging him with extreme glee whenever they meet; Kuroko never fails to return her advances with kindness (though in rebuke). Shrewd, calculating and observant, Momoi is renowned for her exceptional ability to plan nearly flawless strategies. She is able analyze every ability of the player and predict their moves. So far, the only person she cannot predict is Kuroko, because of his lack of presence. Just like Riko, she is also a bad cook; she served uncut lemons to her team as well.
She is Aomine's childhood friend, calling him "Dai-chan" and one of the few people he makes any effort to behave jovially to. Though she expresses devotion to Kuroko, she cares deeply for Aomine's welfare and state of mind, and is heavily concerned about his opinion of her.
