Slam Dunk Carddass Masters Takehiko Inoue

- Character Name: Kaede Rukawa
- Series: SLAM DUNK
- Card Number: 11

His hobby is sleeping.
It's no exaggeration to say he sleeps whenever he's not playing basketball. He even rides his bike to school while half-asleep in the morning and dozes off during class.

He strongly dislikes being woken up, and is a problematic student who would even punch a teacher for disturbing his sleep, saying, No one is allowed to disturb my sleep. (At that time, a teacher had hit Rukawa to wake him up, and a groggy Rukawa retaliated. He didn't do anything to the female student who tried to wake him up normally.) As a result, his academic performance is disastrous (he received failing grades in four subjects on the first semester final exams, narrowly avoiding disqualification from the national tournament).
However, he doesn't have a bad temper when woken up and, unlike Sendo, he doesn't oversleep.

He is handsome and popular with girls, and is adored by the heroine, Haruko Akagi. There's even an unofficial fan club called the Rukawa Kaede Fan Club with the slogan L-O-V-E Rukawa!.

However, he has absolutely no romantic interest in girls and barely acknowledges them, let alone the cheers from those around him (in fact, there's almost no private information about him other than his love for sleeping and listening to Western music while cycling to school).

In the blackboard manga, he was seen listening to English listening tapes.

Thank you for viewing.
