Taisuke Ootsubo

Taisuke Ootsubo is Shūtoku High’s center and captain.

Ootsubo is very large and muscular, so his position as a center under the goal is very secure. Usually, he takes rebounds and scores with dunks. He is able to take rebounds even when there are multiple opponents under the basket. He just pushes them away with his huge body. His rebound is even that strong that he can compete against Teppei Kiyoshi.

He is seen to apply to the team coach’s premise of letting Midorima get away with three selfish acts a day, but unlike their coach he seems to intimidate Midorima into not failing otherwise he insures there will be grave consequences awaiting him.
