Kakuno High School’s basketball team, sometimes referred to as Sumino in certain translations, appears briefly in Slam Dunk during the Kanagawa Prefectural Tournament. Though not a powerhouse, Kakuno embodies the enthusiasm and determination of lesser-known schools striving for recognition. Facing Shohoku in the second round, they are completely overwhelmed by the superior talent and speed of their opponents, losing 160–24 — one of the most lopsided scores in the series. Despite the defeat, Kakuno’s players continue to fight earnestly until the end, symbolizing the perseverance and sportsmanship that define the spirit of high school basketball in Slam Dunk.
