Shinji Koganei

**Height:** 170 cm (5'7")
**Team:** Seirin
**Number:** #6
**Position:** Small Forward

A Seirin sophomore. Considered a jack of all trades, master of none, Koganei is a fairly skilled all-rounder. This is driven home when his coach denotes his special skill as "being able to shoot from any point on the court, with a so-so accuracy rate"; a decidedly normal ability. He is, however, quite intelligent, ranking in the top 20% of his class, though he does not excel in any particular subject. Mysteriously, he can read Mitobe's mind even though Mitobe never says anything.
