Tomoyuki Uekusa

Uekusa has a discreet court presence, but still has his share of importance in playmaking for Ryonan, especially when Koshino is off court. Though not a strong player, he can hold his own quite well in play. Even Sendoh recognizes him as the player with a high stamina but in the Shohoku game, Uekusa was totally outplayed and exhausted by Miyagi.
