I
am a supporting actor, a shadow. But a shadow will become darker if the
light is stronger and it will make the white of the light stand out. As
the shadow of the main actor, I will make you, the light, the number
one in Japan.
Tetsuya Kuroko is the main protagonist of the manga Kuroko no Basuke. He was one of the Generation of Miracles and titled as The Sixth Phantom Player. He specializes in misdirection and passes. He now plays as a regular with Seirin with the goal of bringing the team and Kagami to the top of Japan.

Appearance
Kuroko has a very small build for a basketball player. He has light
blue hair that he styles to his left. His eyes are blue, and he has a
blank gaze. His skin fairly pale. He wears the number 11 jersey. He also
sometimes wears black sweatbands. His basketball shoes are white with a
blue streak.
When out of training or matches, he wears his school uniform: the standard Japanese gakuran. The top piece of a gakuran
is black, long-sleeved and has a standing collar which buttons from the
bottom up to his chin. It has blue trimming on the sleeves and
vertically in the middle. He also wears regular black pants. It has been
noted that his bedhead is especially atrocious, often accompanied by a
"Comb your hair!" from one of his teammates. There have also been 'Super
Saiyan' jokes about his bedhead.
Kuroko has a deadpan and straight forward personality. He is very
hard working and always tries to satisfy the needs of the team above his
own. He is quite gloomy and unnoticeable, a trait that goes well with
his misdirection. He has also displayed much respect towards fellow
passionate basketball player and thinks that while senpais have pride,
kōhais have respect.[1] Despite his initial kind personality, Kuroko gets extremely furious when situations like Kirisaki Daīchi
occur, when his teammates are threatened and already injured by foul
methods. His aura changes so drastically, that Kagami even gets scared
when he sees him like that.[2] When Kuroko gets angry, it gets very hard to beat him, as he is fueled up with fighting spirit.
He has metaphorically referred to himself as a "shadow".[3]
With this he means that he is playing for someone else, and that he
becomes stronger when the "light" is stronger. With the "light", he
means the player he supports during a basketball game. During his middle
school basketball carrer, his "light" was Aomine, and now it is Kagami.
Outside the court, despite his unnoticeable personality, Kuroko
is very gentlemanly when dealing with women. Amongst his friends,
Kagami, Aomine and Kise are really shocked to see how easily Kuroko can cheer up Momoi and even knows what to do on a date.[4] Kuroko also lectures Kagami that he should deal with women more delicately.
Kuroko and Tetsuya #2
Overall, he is a very calm, rational person, but it is shown that he
also has his silly moments. In one omake he says that he can also become
noticeable and does so by pulling his jacket over his head, making
people automatically see him and laugh. There are times where he uses
his misdirection ability to run away, and also a time where he was late
for a game but pretends to have always been there from the start[5]
(until Kagami pointed out the sweat on his brow, indicating that he was
actually late and had run all the way to school). While initially cool
towards his teammates, he gradually warms up and starts to openly
express himself more. It has been shown that he has a soft spot for cute
animals, like kittens and dogs (Tetsuya #2).
Back in middle school, Kuroko attended Teikō Middle School.
He joined the basketball team, but was only put in the third string
because of his weak overall abilities. After the normal training, Kuroko
would stay late for extra practice, as the only one of the third
string. Because of his weak presence, he wasn't noticed by those who
came to watch and the sounds of basketball in the gym were credited to a
ghost. This lasted untill Aomine
came to watch and Kuroko introduced himself. They quickly became
friends, even though Aomine was in the first string and a regular. They
practiced together and gained respect for another, with Aomine wanting
to play with him on the same court one day.[6] Kuroko wearing Teikō's uniform
When Kuroko went to say Aomine that he wanted to quit the basketball
team one day, Aomine motivated him to stay, saying that he admires
Kuroko's love of basketball. The players of the first string then enter,
Akashi, Midorima and Murasakibara (Kise
wasn't part of the team yet). While Murasakibara didn't pay much
attention to Kuroko, Akashi noticed his lack of presence and said that
Kuroko might hide an ability completely different of theirs.[7]
Kuroko was eventually given a chance and in one match, he was seen to
be completely adaptable with Aomine in terms of passing. It was then
that he first discovered and developed his misdirection and invisible
pass.
Kuroko and Aomine
He was part of the team that later would be called the Generation of Miracles. In his second year, he became the personal instructor of Kise, who still was a rookie.[8]
They became friends when they both had to help with a match of the
second string. While playing, he had the number 15. In Teikō, he also
first met Momoi. By giving her free icecream, she instantly fell in love with him.[9] Aomine drifts away from Kuroko
Also in his second year, he witnessed Aomine awakening. While the
rest of the GoM were still above average, Aomine's growth progressed
aggressively. As a consequence, Aomine towered high above anyone else
and couldn't find a decent rival. He became too good for his own good
and started slacking off. It was then that Kuroko tried to motivate
Aomine in still trying his best, as it isn't fun at all when the
opponent is holding back. Aomine agreed, but quickly discovered that he
destroyed everyone's moral when he started playing serious. He
approached Kuroko and told him that he gives up in trying to find a
rival, that he is his only rival. He also denied Kuroko fist bump, their
signature that marked their friendship.[10]
In Kuroko's third year in Teikō, He began to doubt Teikō's
motives and morals and after the finals of a last tournament, he
disappeared and quit the team.[11] He even hated basketball, but this hasn't been fully explained yet.
