Kagami Taiga is a naturally gifted basketball player who just came back from America. Kagami makes it into Seirin’s starting line-up as the power forward rookie. While he is a powerful all-around type of player, Kagami’s true skill lies in his ability to jump to great heights making him a very formidable offensive and defensive player. Kagami now acts as Kuroko’s so-called new “Light” to bring out Kuroko’s full potential on the basketball court.
