Seijūrō Akashi
He is the leader and the point guard of the "Generation of Miracles". He stood at their head as captain, leading the team to uncontested victories during the three years he played for Teikō Middle School. He is uninterested in winning, simply because victory in his eyes is an absolute given, requisite to his own life as much as breathing. But he has grown tired of victory in the absence of a chance of defeat; thus when it became clear that Aomine would not be able to participate in the final rounds of the Inter-High school championship, he also withheld himself from playing and demanded Murasakibara to do the same, wanting to make the games at least a little interesting. He upholds an extreme 'winner-takes-all' philosophy, believing that victors are granted absolution in all things, while losers are denied everything. He claims never to have lost at anything, and as such he believes himself right in all things; he is incredibly unstable and grows violent towards those who thus defy him, attempting to stab Kagami with a pair of scissors when the latter refused to leave even when told to do so. However, Kagami later revealed that Akashi already knew he could dodge it. Respected and feared by the Generation of Miracles, they assemble as he demands, and can't help but heed his words. In his match against Shutoku, Akashi's abilities are finally revealed: the foresight to see all the possible outcomes of a given situation, known as the Emperor Eye. With this, he can time his movements perfectly to sabotage whatever tactics the opponent tries to execute. It also widens his field of vision, covering his blind spots and easily see openings in defenses, allowing him to avoid a screen from Kimura and pass through Takao's guard. Not only he uses this ability for ankle-breaking, but also to strengthen his other moves like passes or steals. This ability also destabilized Akashi's already fragile ego and eventually caused him to retreat behind the split personality seen for most of the series. The reason why his second personality manifested was due to the fear of the original Akashi fearing that he will be left behind by his Teiko teammates (who were acquiring their newfound abilities), and due to the amount of pressure put his life had put on him to strive for absolute excellence. It is shown that Akashi's mother died when he was young, and she had inspired him to play basketball. However, his father did not approve of the sport and told Akashi that in order to keep on playing, he must win all the time. In the game against Seirin, Akashi finally resurfaces from the depths of his consciousness after his second personality was defeated by the teamwork of Kuroko and Kagami and to take over his rightful place. When he resurfaced, he started using the Emperor Eye to perfect his passes to his teammates. That way, those in his team no longer worried about receiving the passes, since Akashi calculated the speed, strength and trajectory of said passes beforehand to the point that those who received it could think of their next move and start moving before even touching the ball, and thus, Akashi could improve their performance, though not the usual 100% granted by the Zone but only 90% of their full capabilities. Midorima notes this is Akashi's true power: to bring his teammates into the Zone by giving smooth passes. Even Takao compliments him as the "ideal point guard", even if his shooting were not to be mentioned. Like Aomine, Kagami and Murasakibara, he possesses the ability to enter the "zone" after he witnessed Aomine activate it willingly, but is noticeably faster than Kagami, (who was also in the Zone), on long distance. Like Kagami's Zone, his Zone possesses a defensive sphere but is even larger than Kagami and Murasakibara because its domain is almost the entire half court. This is because he combined it with his Emperor Eye, making him a more difficult opponent to handle than Aomine in offense or Murasakibara in defense. Also, the prediction ability of Akashi's Emperor Eye when he enters the Zone increases drastically, enabling him to stop Kagami from starting his Meteor Jam. Even though Akashi is short for a basketball player (173 cm/5'8), he can still dunk, declaring that it is not a move used by only big players. Also, his mental prowess when judging a scenario and making split-second decisions is supremely fast. This allowed him to switch from a lay-up to a pass almost instantaneously against Midorima. Akashi's plays are extremely well-designed; as it was revealed in their match against Shutoku that everything that occurred was all a part of Akashi's plan. It would seem that his personalities have their own special abilities, making him the only Generation of Miracles member with two unique abilities, while the rest only have one. In the manga Extra Game, it is discovered that Akashi can wilingly switch places with his other personality in order to gain the full power of the Emperor Eye (since the Emperor Eye isn't his, but the other Akashi's skill) and in order to perceive the next possible move from Nash's concealed movements thus successfully stealing the ball from Nash, making his Emperor Eye a match for Nash's Demon Eye. Off the court, Akashi is capable of discovering people's hidden skills, being the first to recognize Kuroko's potential talent for misdirection and helped him polish his play style.
