Ryōta Kise was the Generation of Miracles' small forward who now plays at Kaijō High. He is well known for his copying abilities, as he can copy any technique he sees, often with more power than the original. He also works as a model. Kise is a tall young man, and is considered good looking. He has yellow/blond, medium long hair and golden eyes. Another distinct feature he has are his long eyelashes. He also has a piercing in his left ear. He is tall and athletic. Out of games, he is often seen in his school uniform, which consists of a white shirt, black tie, gray vest, and formal pants. During games, he wears the dark blue Kaijō jersey with the number 7. To people whom he acknowledges, Kise often acts cheerful and outgoing while also being a bit dramatic. Like the other Generation of Miracles, Kise was exceedingly arrogant due to his skills, barely acknowledging Kagami’s existence until he was defeated by him and Kuroko. To those whom he respects he doesn't refrain from interacting with no matter how gloomy and distant they are (for example Midorima). Kise exclusively adds -cchi to the people who he respects (mostly the Generation of Miracles members) names, such as Kurokocchi (Kuroko), Aominecchi (Aomine) or Midorimacchi (Midorima), and has the habit of ending his sentence with the suffix -ssu. Though easy-going when off-court, Kise can be very determined and serious while playing, especially when truly challenged. Because of the way Teikō Junior High played, Kise is a one-man player who would prefer to score himself than playing as a team. While playing against Aomine, he says that he just doesn't care about Kaijō winning, and that he just wants to defeat Aomine himself.
