Midorima has dark green hair, bangs covering his forehead with a slight slant to the left. He has light green eyes. He always wears glasses, which are framed on all sides by a dark frame except the top. He is quite tall (second tallest in the Marvel Generation after Murasakibara). Midorima is almost always seen with the lucky mascot of the day from the horoscopes, "Oha-Asa". This mascot can be anything from a stuffed frog to a potted cactus. As for his other oddities, Shintaro made a surprisingly accurate clue pencil, since exams are in the form of tests, each edge of the pencil has answer choices printed on it, so that by throwing the pencil, you can choose the one it showed.Midorima is left-handed and always keeps the fingers of her leading hand bandaged off the court, explaining that it must be in perfect condition so that nothing can affect her shot. For the same reason, he is meticulous about his manicure and carries a nail file with him. During his time at Teiko, he played on the Wonder Generation team as the number 7. After moving to Shoutoku, he changed his playing number to number 6.

Deep down, Midorima admires Kuroko's sense of love for basketball. He is also deeply hurt that Kuroko, lacking in strength and natural talent, is the had the determination to challenge all of the Wonder Generation players. Initially, Midorima was greatly surprised by Kuroko's choice of the unknown and young Seirin High School, in whose basketball club Shintaro felt he could not reach the full potential of his abilities. Shoutoku's best friend on the team, Takao Kazunari, often refers to him as a "tsundere", meaning a person who helps people, but denies this fact. With his own talent, good technique, and considerable experience, Midorima often sees hidden abilities in other players, such as Kagami or Kuroko. However, his advice usually comes in the form of criticism or contempt. For example, he was the one who helped Kagami realize the need to develop a jump wrestling game under the ring. Midorima also encouraged Kuroko to improve his own style of basketball, which later formed the basis of his new "reverse invisibility" technique. From Teiko's recollection of Teiko's past, it was clear that with the obvious changes within the Wonder Generation, whose representatives began to behave arrogantly to their opponents, Midorima was the only one who continued to train hard, never downplaying the importance of experience.

Playing chess or shogi and listening to the classics.

He hates cats because one of them once scratched him, damaging the skin on his hands and Natto dish because of the disgusting odor.

On his weekends, he leisurely enjoys his free time, listening to classical music and reading books. Sometimes he goes to the optical store.

Chemistry and biology

Shiruko - soup made of red beans and mochi rice balls and canned beans. At times, he can be seen drinking chilled canned beans from a can.

According to kanji analysis, his last name (񽷑 "Midori" and 間 "ma") literally stands for "green space", indicating his hair color as well as his long-range 3-point shooting abilities. His name (真 "Shin", 太 "ta" and 郎 "ro") means "serious guy", which symbolically emphasizes his nature.

At this point in Shoutoku, he gets along best with Kazunari Takao, but calls him closer to a "servant". Basketball for Midorima is something he wishes and needs to excel at. A word that Midorima likes to add at the end of phrases is "Nanodayo." It is a combination of three Japanese words that means "to give an explanation for something that doesn't need to be explained." The player who is closest to him from the Wonder Generation is Akashi. When asked who he gets along with the least, Midorima said that there are no such people, but he can't stand Kagami. Midorima considers his best quality to be that he always puts his best foot forward. Shintaro plans to learn how to cook in the near future, as Takao has already made fun of him for this omission. When he plays the piano, his repertoire is based on a lot of classical pieces. But lately, he has incorporated jazz pieces and pop music. Midorima thinks he spends his time talking to his little sister like an average brother: sharing how the day went, discussing the day's talismans and where to find them. The last thing he wants to lose is two basketball players, Akashi and Kagami. He is a member of the School Physical Education Committee. A player he particularly follows in games is Seijuro Akashi. He started playing basketball while taking a break from school. He has the tallest height of any player who plays the position of attacking defender. His date of birth is also symbolic and shows why he relies so heavily on his luck: July is the 7th month; 7th day; Cancer is the 7th sign of the Horoscope. According to Kise, Midorima has a funny accent. Midorima exceptionally rarely smiles.
