Later on, Sakuragi realizes that he has come to actually love the sport, despite having previously played primarily because of his crush on Haruko. Kaede Rukawa—Sakuragi's bitter rival (both in basketball and because Haruko has a massive, albeit one-sided, crush on Rukawa), the star rookie and a "girl magnet"—joins the team at the same time. Not long after, Hisashi Mitsui, a skilled three-point shooter and ex–junior high school MVP, and Ryota Miyagi, a short but fast point guard, both rejoin the team and together these four struggle to fulfill team captain Takenori Akagi's dream of winning the national championship. Collectively, these misfits gain publicity and the once little-known Shohoku basketball team becomes an all-star contender in Japan, which gains popularity after defeating one of the powerhouse high school teams at the national high school championship. Production[edit] Inoue became inspired to make Slam Dunk as he had liked basketball since his high school years. After Inoue started Slam Dunk, he was surprised when he began receiving letters from readers that said they started playing the sport due to the manga. His editor even told him "basketball was a taboo in this world. " Due to these letters, Inoue decided he wanted to draw better basketball games in the series. [4] With the series, Inoue wanted to demonstrate the feelings from some athletes such as their thoughts when they win, lose or improve at their sport. When he started making Vagabond, he noted that when he was doing Slam Dunk he had a simpler perspective on life as he focused more in victories and success. [5] With the series, Inoue wants the readers to feel achievements as well as love for the sport.
