Appearance

Kagami is very muscular for a high school student. He is very tall, which gives him an overwhelming aura, which some say is like the intensity of a wild tiger.^[2] He has two toned deep red-and-black hair and red eyes. His eyes are pointed and narrow and his eyebrows are quite thick and split in two, which Murasakibara does not fail to remark. He wears the red, black and white Seirin High jersey with the number 10 and wears black and red basketball shoes. He is also occasionally seen with a shiny metal necklace with a ring on it, that represents his brotherhood with Tatsuya Himuro. When he is seen in his school uniform, he keeps his gakuran unzipped, while wearing a white shirt underneath.

Personality

“

I've decided! I'll take all these guys down and become the number one in Japan!

”

“

The reason I like playing basketball is because I can compete with lots of strong opponents!

”

Kagami is very ambitious, stubborn and determined. He refuses to give up in a difficult situation and he is also very head strong. He is well known for his undying and furious fighting spirit. Kagami enjoys to play against strong opponents and sees no point in playing basketball when there are no strong opponents; which was evident when Kagami faced Kuroko Tetsuya for the first time. The down-side of this, is that he is also very hot-headed and has a short temper.

Kagami's reaction to Tetsuya #2

When Kuroko brought Tetsuya #2 to the training, it is revealed that Kagami is scared of dogs and suffered Cynophobia. This fear originates from his time in America, where he was once bitten by a dog. He overcame this fear when he realized that Tetsuya #2 is a good motivation for the team and he pet it. He is also a glutton and is able to eat at least five times a normal meal. He is shown to be a great cook when Riko Aida tried to cook for the team to save money, but ended up almost killing everyone with her food. So Kagami cooked instead and taught Riko how to cook too.
During the series, and especially after the Interhigh and during the Winter Cup, Kagami matured a lot. Instead of going up against every provocation and becoming hot-headed quickly, he thinks before he acts and has developed some sort of hindsight that lets him simulate a possible one-on-one battle. Even though that he still hates losing, he has somewhat took peace with it. Now, he has become a much more clever player that doesn't plunge into battles without thinking first.

I think, Kagami has a strong character,  he always cheer Kuroko up so they fill up each other. My first impression when I saw him is "What's wrong with this person, he's so arrogant, ugh!". Yeah, i know it's not a good impression, but! I change my feelings toward him when he pat kuroko's head (awww, it's so cute!) also when he cheers up his team many time, it makes my heart melt and before i know it, I already like his character! And so on, I like his meteor jam it's so cool! And afterall, I would like to recomend you to watch him, thanks!
