Name: Anzai Mitsyoshi (An Xi) (Coach)

Nickname: ; White hair devil; White hair Buddha

Household: Rich (or else why is he so fat?)

Background: Was previously the Japan National team player, then became a university basketball coach. However the loss of his favourite student dishearten him into turning to coaching in high school.

Comments:  Anzai is obviously a good coach. He encourages and understands his students which is also his biggest weapon. Many students respect him (expect Sakuragi who always play with his chin) and joins Shohoku. (eg: Mitsui, Ryouta) The death of his student turned him from white hair devil into white hair Buddha.
