[Person’s comment]
This time, I will join San-en Neo-Phoenix. I’m Ryukai, a first year student at Waseda University.
This year, in the corona vortex, we will work hard every day to contribute to the victory of the team even for those who are not satisfied with the basket and have not seen it.
Please provide some support.

Yuu is one of the players who led Waseda University to the Incare Best 8 this time, and is a promising player who has a strong presence even though he is a freshman in college.
In college, he is a player used as an outside player in the 4th position, but in B.LEAGUE he has experienced the position of using it, and in the future he is a player who wants to carry the Hinomaru on his back and fight the world.
I would like you to learn the spirits that can compete in the world from former Serbian national team Yerka and Philippine national team Sadie.
