Introduction

“	I don't mind being called short... In fact, my height is something I take a lot of pride in	”
—Kamiki Yozan, to Hyou Fuwa

Yozan Kamiki (上木洋山, Kamiki Yozan) is a first-year point guard who plays for the Inter-High top challengers Yokohama Taiei High. Yozan, along with Mineta, is a bench player trying to climb up the ranks to earn a spot in his teams' starting lineup through sheer hard work and determination.

Appearance

Yozan is short in height, about 158 cm. A petite and slender individual who lacks arm strength. Kamiki has long black hair that ends before his shoulders. He has black colored eyes. His jersey number is 24, and he wears 'Nike Air Penny 2' sneakers.

Personality

As a child, Yozan avoided playing any sports activity or engaging in conversation with others because of his height complex. At present, he doesn't seem to be concerned about his stature but rather is grateful for being a short athlete and hopes one day to turn the table around about the perception of small basketball players' in the sport. He is still uneasy about his interpersonal relationships and does not have many interactions with anyone other than Hyou Fuwa.

On the other hand, he envies Hyou because, being in the same year as him, Fuwa can play in official matches and practice games instead of him. He is also a little jealous of Sora's participation in the practice game as a starter. However, meeting Sora reignited his passion for the sport. During the practice match against Kuzuryū High, he pledged himself to become a starter in his team and a player who will dominate in the upcoming summer Inter-High Tournament.

Biography

As a child, Yozan lived in an orphanage called 'Special Needs School Oak Gardens,' and there he met Yuka Kurumatani. She was giving basketball lessons to his peers. Due to his long hair, Yuka mistaken Yozan for being a girl. She saw a unique potential in Kamiki and told him not to be discouraged from being a small individual and use his height to be an advantage. Yuka taught Yozan the 'female style-two-handed shot,' which he later perfected through constant training. He respects her a lot and feels grateful for being his mentor and introducing him to the sport of basketball. Later in the series, to pay his due respect to Yuka Kurumatani, he and Sakamaki visited her gravestone.

Skills

His ball-handling and shooting skills rival—if not surpass—Sora Kurumatani's. For his shooting form, he uses 'female style... two-handed shot.' Yozan, in the practice game against Kuzuryu High, played for about 6 minutes, in which he was able to stack up 10 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Kamiki also has an excellent jumping ability as he was able to intercept Ryuuhei Nabeshima's high pass.
