Hanamichi Sakuragi, known for his explosive temper, towering stature, and vibrant red hair, enrolls at Shohoku High with the hope of finding a girlfriend and breaking free from his middle school record of 50 consecutive rejections. Unfortunately, his notoriety precedes him, leading most students to avoid him. Despite his reputation, Hanamichi is left with two persistent thoughts: "I despise basketball" and "I desperately need a girlfriend."
Unexpectedly, a girl named Haruko Akagi approaches him, unaware of his troublesome history, and inquires about his interest in basketball. Instantly smitten, Hanamichi passionately affirms his love for the sport. Haruko then guides him to the gymnasium, where she challenges him to perform a slam dunk. Eager to impress her, Hanamichi takes the leap but miscalculates, colliding headfirst into the blackboard. When Haruko informs the basketball team's captain of Hanamichi's extraordinary physical abilities, he gradually becomes entangled in the camaraderie and competition of a sport he previously harbored resentment towards.
