Kuroko no basuke furihata11/14/2022 Based on the games during practice, Furihata seems to already have at least the fundamental skills and basic knowledge of basketball when the series began though. Judging by that, chances are he wasn’t particularly invested in basketball at the time. It isn’t known why he chose basketball of all things to accomplish this goal, but he did tell Riko that he wouldn’t mind not being able to join the club if his reason wasn’t good enough. According to both sources, the girl he likes told him that she would go out with him provided that he becomes the best in one area/field. (Note: This is based on the scanlations alone, so it’s always possible that his first name was brought up in the raws and somehow got left out in the translation.) Furihata and his basketball participationĪnother thing that was exclusively brought up in the anime and the Characters Bible is his reason for joining the basketball club. While Furihata’s full name was confirmed in the Characters Bible later on, his first name was actually never mentioned at all in the entire manga, not even when he made his debut in the official games. In the anime, we learned Furihata’s full name in ep.2 when the freshmen all had to make their rooftop declarations, but in the manga, this didn’t happen because Kagami was the only person who was able to make his speech before the teacher showed up to stop them. (Lol “You finally memorized our names, huh?” because it’s more like “You finally named us, Fujimaki!”) It was roughly around the third volume of the manga that his appearance began to resemble his current character design.Īlthough we knew Furihata, Kawahara, and Fukuda as mainly the freshmen trio, it wasn’t until Q37 (vol.5), after the first Seirin vs Shuutoku game, that we finally learned their names. In short, Furihata initially looked like a different character altogether. His hair was much lighter and his overall features were also not the same. Furihata’s introduction as a characterįurihata appeared as early as the first chapter in the manga, but as pictured below, his character design was significantly different back then. During matches, he also questions and comments on the games fairly often - some of which are significant and will be discussed further down in Section II. On the whole, Furihata is typically seen supporting his teammates, whether by cheering energetically, assisting them during timeouts, or running errands like purchasing supplies and so on. Minor or not, he’s the Seirin first year aside from Kuroko and Kagami that gets the most development and panel time. Just sayin’.įurihata Kouki is generally considered to be a minor character in the series, though this point may be up for debate as many fans argue that he can no longer be called “minor” after having played in both the semi-finals and the finals of the Winter Cup. I’m one of those people who find inane facts interesting. It’s kinda insanely long and includes pictures at every point. Basically, this was written with that in mind, so if you do remember him quite well, then a lot of this may seem redundant or trivial.Īlso. Warning #2: Because he’s a background character who also happens to have a couple instances where he was thrown under the spotlight, I’m always hearing people say that they remember practically nothing about him from before. Warning #1: Much of Furihata’s character development occurred during the Winter Cup, and most of it has not been covered in the anime yet (as of season 2), so there will be spoilers if you haven’t read up to at least the 2nd quarter of the Seirin vs Rakuzan match. I tried to keep it largely factual since I intend to do the actual analysis of his character potential and trajectory in PART 2. It’s not so much a character study as it is a detailed record. The first (this one) is mainly profiling and serves as canon reference. Note: There will be a total of two parts. And now, I can no longer make sense of what I’m doing other than the fact that I probably have way more Furi than anyone ever thought would exist (or want). Then it mutated into a desire to prove he’s more than just a coward. It initially began as fic research and fact checking. This is my attempt at an in-depth exploration of Furihata Kouki’s character. → Furihata Kouki: A Detailed Character Guide - Part 1 of 2
