Kuzuryū High is a school in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, where Sora Kurumatani and the Hanazono brothers play. Previously the boys’ basketball team was full of defects, which was home to the worst thugs in High School. Since the advent of Sora, things began to shift in a positive direction. His constant zeal and passion for the sport "basketball" changed everyone’s perception, especially the incumbent members. Later in the series, their team went from being infamously known "where only delinquents join" to one of the top teams in the district.
