Ryouta Kise

Ryouta Kise, also known as Ki-chan and Kise-chin, is a character from the Kuroko's Basketball series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ryouta was the copycat of the Generation of Miracles and the last to join. He has been acknowledged to be the weakest among the main five (at least, prior to his Perfect Copy). That said, being the weakest member doesn't mean he can't curb-stomp everyone else. He is the first of the GOM to be introduced as the new Ace of Kaijou High basketball team.
To people whom he acknowledges, Kise often acts cheerful and outgoing while also being a bit dramatic. Like the other Generation of Miracles, Kise was exceedingly arrogant due to his skills, barely acknowledging Kagami’s existence until he was defeated by him and Kuroko. To those whom he respects he doesn't refrain from interacting with no matter how gloomy and distant they are.
Though easy-going when off-court, Kise can be very determined and serious while playing, especially when truly challenged. Because of the way Teikō Junior High played, Kise is a one-man player who would prefer to score himself than playing as a team. While playing against Aomine, he says that he just doesn't care about Kaijō winning, and that he just wants to defeat Aomine himself.

* Kise is usually cold-hearted, according to the commentary of Tadatoshi Fujimaki; '"In this match (Haizaki vs Kise), I wanted to depict Kise isn’t necessarily a good guy. In my opinion, Kise in the Anime is little too soft compared to Kise in the Manga. I heard that when Kise used abusive words, one of the Anime staff was very in shock. I am NOT going to deny Anime AT ALL, but in my mind, Kise is a person who only affable to those he admitted & feel worthy after measuring with his own eyes. Other than that, he is usually cold-hearted. I’ve recognized him who has two faces. He is not completely good-boy, you know. That being said, please read Manga thinking Kise in Manga is bit different from Anime.'"
* Kise starts to hear the wind when he becomes disinterested in something. 
* According to Kuroko, Kise’s grades are below average.
