Kensuke Fukui (福井 健介 Fukui Kensuke) was Yōsen High's third year point guard and vice-captain. After the Winter Cup, he retired along with the rest of the third years.

Appearance[]

Fukui is a player of average height, making him the shortest player on his team. He has a sharp face, narrow eyes with small pupils, and loosely styled ash-blond hair. Fukui plays with the jersey number 5.

Personality[]

Fukui has a straightforward attitude and easily speaks his mind, often in a bluntly comedic manner.[1] He is able to keep a smart, generally calm demeanor by addressing his issues quickly and without hesitation, even when confronting others others. He is often the one to keep Kenichi Okamura's outbursts in check by telling him that he is being too loud or emotional. As a vice captain, he commands authority over his team when needed and has an easier time issuing orders than the actual captain. Fukui is also good at getting children to listen to him.[2]

Fukui has a penchant for mischief, as he finds it funny to take advantage of Wei Liu's cluelessness in order to "teach" him different things about Japan. He is at least semi-responsible for Liu's archaic patterns of speech after (incorrectly) telling him that certain words, such as アル (aru), were trendy. When these lies were at risk of being exposed, Fukui's first instinct was to use his quick thinking in order to cover his tracks with even more lies.[3]

Story[]

Winter Cup[]

Fukui and his team won the second and third round of the Winter Cup with incredible scores, respectively 81 – 0 and 72 – 0.[4]

Quarter-finals[]

After Yōsen High won the third round, they are seen walking through the building towards the exit when they are encountered by Alexandra Garcia. When Alex gets friendly with, tries to kiss Tatsuya Himuro and takes him away, Fukui wonders who Alexandra was. Kenichi Okamura suddenly bursts out in tears and complains how he doesn't get any chicks. Fukui sits by his side, but cruelly says that wether or not he's a baller, he's just not popular.[5] Okamura is eventually set straight by Masako Araki and the team moves to their hotel to watch Seirin's previous matches.

Vanishing Drive against Fukui

Fukui is passed

Quarter-finals of the Winter Cup, Fukui accompanies his team onto the field. The tip-off is given, but Atsushi Murasakibara taps it too early and it's ruled as a violation, Fukui scolds him. Yōsen manages to stop Seirin offense and Wei Liu later taps an offensive rebound in, following a missed shot from Fukui.[6] He is later amazed by Tetsuya Kuroko's Phantom Shot. In the next offense, Fukui opts to use Okamura's power difference against Taiga Kagami to make the basket. Not much after, Fukui's defense is rendered useless against Kuroko's Vanishing Drive.[7] Yōsen ends the Second half with a 29 – 17 lead.
