The First Slam Dunk was created by the legendary TOEI Animation studio, the same studio that released the One Piece Film: Red animation. Upon release, the film became the highest-grossing animated film in the Japanese market and has grossed over $260 million worldwide in Asian markets to date. The First Slam Dunk is a great viewing experience for all fans of animated films.
Speedy and Shohoku point guard Ryota Miyagi always plays with intelligence and lightning speed, running past opponents and feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryota had a brother three years older than him. Following the example of his older brother, who from his youth was a famous local player, Ryota also became interested in basketball. In his second year of high school, Ryota plays for the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui, who will compete in the national high school championship. And now they are ready to challenge the defending champions, Sanno Kogyo High School.
Slam Dunk was published in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) from #42 in 1990 to #27 in 1996. The story depicts the personal growth of high school basketball players in a way that transcends the boundaries of language and the world. The series has had a significant impact, selling over 120 million copies of the manga in Japan alone, and has inspired many boys and girls to take up basketball. Twenty-six years after the end of the series, original creator Takehiko Inoue stepped into the director’s chair for the first time in his career to write and direct FIRST SLAM DUNK. A new “SLAM DUNK” is born!
