One day, Hanamichi gets an offer from Haruko Akagi to join the Shohoku High School basketball club. Hanamichi starts training to become a good basketball player.

At that time, Slam Dunk comics were so popular that they were adapted into anime format in 1993 - 1996. In addition to anime, this comic has also developed into four Toei Animation films.

Thanks to Slam Dunk, basketball is also in demand by the public. In 2010, Takehiko Inoue received a special award from the Japanese Basketball Association for contributing to the popularity of basketball there.
