Yukio Kasamatsu

Kasamatsu has short, spiky black hair, sharp, steel-blue eyes with relatively thick eyebrows, and is considered handsome even next to Ryōta Kise. He is 1.78 cm tall.

Kasamatsu is a reliable person who takes charge of his responsibilities, taking it upon himself to lift the spirits of others even when he himself is suffering. Such determination requires an immense amount of mental fortitude and results in a tendency to suppress his own emotions, preferring to deal with them on his own so as not to burden his team. When he asks others for help, he hesitates and worries beforehand about whether or not he will inconvenience them. He also places importance on respect despite the responsibility. Kasamatsu has a somewhat irritable temperament that he doesn't bother to hide. Due to the overabundance of energy from his teammates, his temper is frequently tested and manifests through shouting or mild violence. In contrast to his serious appearance, Kasamatsu is also very easily embarrassed and extremely bad at dealing with it. He is particularly hopeless when it comes to girls, as every time he is near one, he ends up blushing quite a bit and struggles to find his voice. This weakness is strong enough to make him dizzy with just a photograph [8] or even thinking about them enough. Since attending Kaijō High, Kasamatsu has only been able to speak to girls by saying "ah" or "no." The girls in his classes are aware of this and take pity on him by only asking yes or no questions. [9] Kasamatsu is very aware and deeply ashamed of this weakness, as every time it is mentioned, he will try to downplay its severity and insist that he will overcome it someday.

Kasamatsu is a third-year student and captain of the Kaijō High School men's basketball team.

During Kasamatsu's second year at Kaijō High, he and his team were confident that their roster was the strongest it had ever been in the school's history. They ambitiously aimed for nationals before losing in the inter-school preliminaries. Kasamatsu blamed himself for this defeat, attributing it to a single missed pass he made during a crucial one-point difference, and cites it as the reason the other team was able to turn the situation around. After witnessing the tears of his superiors and being blamed by the team's alumni, Kasamatsu considered quitting basketball. His team's coach, Genta Takeuchi, prevented him, deliberately appointing Kasamatsu as captain and explaining that his mistake was exactly why he should accept the position. Kasamatsu then decided that he didn't want his mistake to be forgiven or absolved by someone else and vowed that, to prove both his compensation and his determination, he would lead the team to victory in the Interhigh the following year. As captain of Kaijō High, Kasamatsu receives admissions from the first-year members in the first practice session. The last of the first-years is Ryōta Kise, who cheerfully introduces himself. Kasamatsu is irritated by Kise's cocky attitude and kicks him. Kise is surprised to see the treatment he, a member of the Generation of Miracles, receives, but Kasamatsu counters by telling him that he is still just a first-year. Kise confronts Kasamatsu, saying that he doesn't care about that hierarchy and that he's better than him anyway. Kasamatsu tells him that before even thinking about something like that, he should consider the amount of work the second and third-years have put into the team.
