Shohoku's “speedster” and point guard, Ryota Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota had a brother who was three years older. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a famous local player from a young age, Ryota also became addicted to basketball.
In his second year of high school, Ryota plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.

Where it came from
The First Slam Dunk was released in 2022 as a cinematic continuation and reimagining of the iconic 1990s basketball manga series by Takehiko Inoue. Produced by Toei Animation and Dandelion Animation Studio, the film was written and directed by Inoue himself, marking his directorial debut. The project was conceived to bring the climax of the original story to life using a unique blend of 2D and 3D computer-generated imagery, specifically designed to capture the visceral movement and tension of high-stakes basketball games.
The film shifts the narrative focus from the original protagonist, Hanamichi Sakuragi, to the point guard Ryota Miyagi, providing a deeper emotional background for his character. Upon release, the film received widespread critical acclaim for its innovative animation style and emotional resonance, becoming one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time. It was particularly noted for how it honored the legacy of the source material while utilizing modern technology to make the on-court action feel grounded and realistic.
