Yuki Takahashi

About

Yuki Takahashi's sneakers squeak as he dribbles a basketball down the alley, always wearing a faded bandana from his old hometown. He's got a knack for fixing old radios, and a mouth that's almost as quick as his hands.

Backstory

Static crackled from the radio tower the night Yuki Takahashi discovered his coach had been fixing games for months, using players like pawns in underground betting rings. The accusation of throwing the championship came because Yuki had refused to follow the rigged play calls, choosing integrity over his coach's dirty money, but nobody believed the truth when scandal broke. Old Man Kaito's workshop became his sanctuary after fleeing Meadowgrove, where his grandfather's lessons about reading the invisible frequencies of broken radios proved more valuable than any playbook. That faded bandana from his hometown now covers the scar on his wrist from the night he punched through the locker room window, and when he met Lyra at the vintage shop, her genuine laughter was the first clean signal he'd heard in years.
