Chiaki Hanazono (花園 千秋, Hanazono Chiaki) is Kuzuryū High's point guard. He is Momoharu Hanazono's older twin brother.

Appearance

Strong, sharp features, facial hair and a towering, brawny figure may cause him to precede as intimidating, but he is nothing of that sort. He has sparse eyebrows and a more square face shape in comparison to his brother. He sports a black fro and a clean hairline.

Personality

He has good intentions, being one of the first to show Sora kindness. He doesn't care to be involved with the basketball team in the way his brother is. He dislikes weaklings, but finds an exception for Sora, saying he likes guys that don't give up easily.

In contrast to Momoharu's reason to give up playing basketball, which was his insecurities to himself, Chiaki's was because of hopeless situations in the past, such as a huge point deficit in a game. For him, there is no point in trying if the outcome is already decided. But after seeing the Kuzu basketball team still fighting despite a clear impending loss against Maru High, he decided to join late in the game and end it with a fight.

He has a tendency to peeping on girls.

Skills

He is a genius with an incredible court vision, incredible ball handling abilities and immense strength that allows him to play the Center or Power Forward position with his size. Although primarily a Point Guard due to his playmaking abilities, he is an all-arounder that can play any position. He can also be effective as a Small Forward due to his mid-range shooting. Nanase, the team manager strongly believes that his ideal position would be a "Point Forward", a play style which means a playmaking forward.

However, he is weak in defense and rarely contributes to blocking and rebounding but his great eye for ball anticipation to go for steals make up for it. His main weakness is his pace and free throws as he easily succumbs under pressure.

Biography

During middle school, their school was up against the top team and as expected were behind by a huge point difference. As the second half was about to start, he went missing. Momoharu went to find him and discovered that he bought a candy at a nearby store. It was that time he realized that his twin brother had given up on the entire match.

Trivia

  • The Hanazono twins' respective play styles are the exact opposite of one another. Chiaki excels in offense while Momoharu in defense.
