What is the Japanese title of Kuroko’s basketball?
The English title ‘Kuroko’s basketball’ is the exact translation of the Japanese title which is ‘黒子のバスケ’(read Kuroko no Basuke), however, another translation which is not exact but appears in the artwork of the Japanese version is ‘ The Basketball which Kuroko Plays’. The English title relates to the journey that Kuroko has in basketball. What a great title for this fantastic anime.

What are the meanings behind the characters’ names?
In Japanese culture, names have significant meanings that are supposed to represent you as a person.
Names can be expressed in hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Let’s find out the meanings of some names of characters in Kuroko’s basketball.
Tetsuya Kuroko (黒子 テツヤ, Kuroko Tetsuya )
Image by: Kuroko’s Basketball official website (C) Tadatoshi Fujimaki／Shueisha・Kuroko’s basketball production committee
First of all the main character Kuroko Tetsuya, Japanese kanji (黒子テツヤ ).
‘Tetsuya’ (テツヤ) is written in katakana so it has no particular meaning just like his ghostly presence. ‘Kuroko’ is Tetsuya’s last name. The ‘Kuro’(黒) in Kuroko means black and the ‘Ko’(子) means a child. The kanji ‘Ko’ is usually used at the end of a girl’s names however some boy’s names are exceptions.
Daiki Aomine (青峰 大輝, Aomine Daiki)
Image by: Kuroko’s Basketball anime cover (C) Tadatoshi Fujimaki／Shueisha・Kuroko’s basketball production committee
Next is one of Kuroko’s former teammates, Aomine Daiki, Japanese kanji (青峰 大輝). The ‘Dai’(大) in Daiki means Big and the ‘Ki’(輝) means to shine or glow.
Aomine is Daiki’s last name and the ‘Ao’(青) means blue which makes sense since Daiki has blue hair. On the other hand, the ‘Mine’(峰) means the peak of the mountain.
Atsushi Murasakibara (紫原 敦, Murasakibara Atsushi)
Image by: Kuroko’s Basketball anime cover (C) Tadatoshi Fujimaki／Shueisha・Kuroko’s basketball production committee
Let’s look into another one of Kuroko’s former teammates, Murasakibara Atsushi Japanese kanji(紫原 敦). ‘Atsushi’(敦) has many syllables but it is only one kanji. Atsushi means Generous or caring. Murasakibara(紫原) is Atsushi’s last name. ‘Murasaki’(紫) means purple which relates to Atsushi’s purple hair and ‘Bara’(原) means field.
Ryota Kise (黄瀬 涼太, Ryōta Kise)
Image by: Kuroko’s Basketball anime cover (C) Tadatoshi Fujimaki／Shueisha・Kuroko’s basketball production committee
Following by Kise Ryouta, Japanese kanji (黄瀬 涼太). The ‘Ryou’(涼) means cool or chilly and the ‘Ta’(太) is a typical kanji that you put at the end or sometimes in the middle or start of boys’ names but separately the kanji ‘Ta’ (太) means extremely big.
This kanji is also used to write Sun (太陽) which is bright yellow like Ryouta’s hair. Kise’(黄瀬) is Ryouta’s last name. The ‘Ki’ (黄) means yellow and the ‘Se’(瀬) means shallow.
Shintaro Midorima (緑間 真太郎, Midorima Shintarō)
Image by: Kuroko’s Basketball anime cover (C) Tadatoshi Fujimaki／Shueisha・Kuroko’s basketball production committee
Last but not least Midorima Shintarou, Japanese kanji (緑間 真太郎). ‘Shin’(真) means true, ‘Ta’(太) means extremely big and the ‘Rou’(郎) is a kanji that is put at the end of boys’ names. ‘Midorima’ (緑間) is Shintaro’s last name. ‘Midori’(緑) means green which points out to his hair colour and ‘Ma’(間) means space.

The history of the emergence and development of basketball
In 1891, in the United States of America, a young teacher, a native of Canada, Dr. James Naismith, trying to "revive" gymnastics lessons, attached two fruit baskets to the railing of the balcony and suggested throwing soccer balls into it. The resulting game only remotely resembled modern basketball. There was no question of any management, the players threw the ball to each other and then tried to throw it into the basket. The team that scored the most goals won.
A year later, Naismith developed the first rules of basketball. The very first matches under these rules caused their first changes.
Gradually, basketball from the United States penetrated first to the East - Japan, China, the Philippines, and then to Europe and South America. After 10 years at the Olympic Games in St. Louis, the Americans organized a demonstration tour between the teams of several cities. The Basketball Association of America (BAA) was formed in 1946. The first match under her auspices took place on November 1 of the same year in Toronto between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers. At 19In 1949, the association merged with the US National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1967, the American Basketball Association was created, which for a long time tried to compete with the NBA, but merged with it 9 years later. Today, the NBA is one of the most influential and well-known professional basketball leagues in the world.
The International Amateur Basketball Federation was founded in 1932. The federation includes 8 countries: Argentina, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Romania.
Sweden, Czechoslovakia. Based on the name, it was assumed that the organization would only lead amateur basketball, however, at 1989, professional basketball players received admission to international competitions, and the word "amateur" was removed from the name.
The very first international match took place in 1904, and in 1936 basketball entered the program of the Summer Olympic Games.
Basketball rules (briefly)
The rules of the game of basketball changed several times until 2004, when the final version of the rules took shape, which is considered relevant to this day.
- Basketball is played by two teams. Usually a team consists of 12 people, 5 of which are field players, and the rest are considered substitutes.
- Basketball dribbling . Athletes in possession of the ball must move around the field, hitting the floor with it. Otherwise, "carrying the ball" will be counted, and this is a violation of the rules in basketball.
Accidentally touching the ball with a body part other than the hand is not considered a foul, unlike purposeful play with the foot or fist. - A basketball game consists of 4 periods or halves, but the time of each half (play time) varies depending on the basketball association. So, for example, in NBA a match consists of 4 halves of 12 minutes each, and in FIBA each such half lasts 10 minutes.
- Short breaks are provided between periods, and between the second and third periods, the break time is increased.
- The ball thrown into the basket can bring a different number of points to its team. If the ball is scored during the free throw, the team earns 1 point. If the ball is thrown from an average or close distance (closer than the 3-point line), then the team is given 2 points. A team earns three points if the ball is scored from behind the three-point line.
- If in regular time both teams scored the same number of points, then a 5-minute overtime is assigned, if it ended in a draw, then the next one is assigned and so on until the winner is determined.
- 3 Second Rule - A rule that prohibits any player from the attacking team from being in the free throw area for more than three seconds.
- Basketball Two Step Rule . The player is only allowed to take two steps with the ball, after which he must either shoot or pass.

What balls are played now and how it happened
The beginning
The rules have also changed a lot during this time.
Initially, there were only 13 of them in basketball:
- The ball can be thrown in any direction with one or two hands.
- The ball may be hit with one or both hands in any direction, but never with the fist.
- The player may not run with the ball. The player must throw the ball from the point at which he caught it, except for a player running at high speed.
- The ball must be held with the hands. You can not use the forearms and body to hold the ball.
- In any case, hitting, grabbing, holding and pushing the opponent is not allowed. The first violation of this rule by any player shall be called a foul; the second foul disqualifies him until the next ball is scored, and if there was an obvious intention to injure the player, then a disqualification for the whole game. It is not allowed to replace a disqualified player.
- Punching the ball is a violation of rules 2 and 4, the penalty is described in paragraph 5.
- commit no foul).
- A point is scored if a ball thrown or bouncing off the floor hits the basket and stays there. Defending players are not allowed to touch the ball or basket while shooting. If the ball touches the edge and the opponents move the basket, then a point is scored.
- If the ball goes out of bounds, it must be dropped into the field by the first player to touch it. In the event of a dispute, the referee must throw the ball into the field. The thrower is allowed to hold the ball for five seconds. If he holds it longer, then the ball is given to the opponent. If either side tries to play for time, the referee must give them a foul.
- The referee must monitor the actions of the players and fouls, and notify the referee of three consecutive fouls. He shall have the power to disqualify players under rule 5.
- The referee must watch the ball and determine when the ball is in play (inbounds) and when it is out of bounds (out of bounds), which side should be in possession of the ball, and any other actions that the referee would normally take .
- The game consists of two halves of 15 minutes each with a break of 5 minutes between them.
- The side with the most goals during this time period is the winner.
The most important rule change in the history of basketball is the introduction of dribbling. In the original version of the game, this was prohibited by paragraph 3 of the rules.
One of the first changes in the game and the rules was the replacement of the basket with a ring with a net. It seemed to be very inconvenient to climb after the ball every time after a hit. Around the same time, free throws, dribbling appeared, and the composition of the teams was fixed for 5 players on the court at the same time. Before that, in some matches, up to 50 people could be on the court at the same time. All this happened back in 1896-1897.
The emergence of FIBA (International Basketball Federation)
Basketball in the early 20th century was becoming more popular and the rules in each country could be different.
This was one of the reasons why FIBA appeared in 1932 year. At the first FIBA Congress, the teams were approved (5 people and 2 substitutes), and it was decided that after each goal there would be a throw-in in the center. This rule was removed after 4 years to reduce the advantage of tall players.
Over the next few years, the main changes were related to the number of personal fouls, the number of players on the bench and the introduction of a time limit for getting the ball into the opponent's half of the court.
More changes came in 1952 after the Olympics. The game became very boring, because the teams held the ball, having received a minimal lead in the score. Everyone understood this and searched for solutions for several years in order to save the life of basketball. At 1954 Danny Biason proposed to the NBA to limit the time for the shot to 24 seconds. At the 1956 Olympics, there was a similar rule: it was necessary to make a throw in 30 seconds. At the same time, to add equality between defense and attack, another rule familiar to us appeared: you need to start dribbling the ball before the supporting leg comes off.
Then the game became similar to the modern one from a technical point of view: dribbling, shots, a three-second zone appeared. In 1979, the NBA added a three-point line, and in 19In 1984, FIBA also added an arc.
!!! An article about the evolution of the three-point shot and interesting facts:

Three-pointer evolution and insane records.
Changes in the rules and basketball since 1956 have included the number of free kicks, the situations in which these free kicks are given, and individual and team penalties. Some rules were introduced, and a few years later they were canceled. For example, the "3 for 2" rule: if a player was fouled in the shooting phase, then if one of the first two shots was missed, he could make another free throw. This rule was later removed.
Since the 1990s there have been constant changes: the emergence of alley-ups, changes in the timing and rewriting of the rules of running, which continue to this day.
From the most interesting: if the team has 0.3 seconds or less to throw the ball from behind, then it must be a one-touch throw. It takes at least 0.4 seconds to perform a full throw.
Derrick Fisher made similar throws:
And here is a small selection of videos of how they throw in 0.2 seconds:
