Daiki Aomine

Daiki Aomine, also known as Mine-chin, Aominecchi, Dai-chan and Ahomine, is a character from the Kuroko's Basketball series.
== Charactah Account ==
Daiki is the ace of the Generation of Miracles and acknowledged to be the best one-on-one basketball player among the six. He was particularly close to Kuroko with who he formed the first Light/Shadow duo.
Before he gained immeasurable strength, Aomine was outgoing and even friendly. He often fooled around with Kuroko and Kise. Momoi stated that the old Aomine was very similar to Kagami; he loved playing basketball and was very good at it too. However, he kept training and getting stronger, to the point that he often completely crushed his opponents' will to play basketball. He was initially sad about this, and searched for his equal on the court, but he never found one. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he is simply the strongest and that "The only one who can beat me, is me". He also cast his feelings towards his opponents aside and now views them as weak and wants to crush them. He often seeks to humiliate them in the worst kind of fashion. He has also become very lazy, only coming to training when he wants to, and slacking off even during matches, sometimes abusing his teammates in the process, because he became bored.

* On the first character poll, Aomine ranked 6th, with 710 votes. He went up one place on the second poll, this time with 1021 votes.
* Aomine's play-style could be inspired by the NBA players Kobe Bryant & Allen Iverson, since both of them are very fast, agile and strong. They both can also chase down block their opponents and Kobe Bryant has been seen speaking of entering the Zone (In addition to many of Aomine's moves being compared to Kobe Bryant's on YouTube.)
* The kanji (Ao) in his name means blue, hinting to his hair color, but in Chinese, it could both mean blue and green.
