Background / History
Wu Yufei is a Chinese exchange student who joined Miuradai High School’s basketball team before formally enrolling. He introduced himself as a 188 cm, 86 kg point guard and quickly became the team’s focal point. At the time, the Slam Dunk System appeared before him, providing an attribute panel, missions, rewards, badges, and Experience Cards. He is also described as a transmigrator from 2019. 1 2 28
Although he regularly sleeps through class, Wu consistently answers questions correctly when called upon. His academic ability earns approval from teachers and admiration from classmates, contrasting sharply with the intensity he brings to basketball training. 7
Wu developed rapidly through Miuradai’s early matches and tournament campaigns. His speed, strength, wingspan, finishing ability, and defensive pressure made him a dominant point guard, while intensive training eventually raised every visible System attribute above 80. 16 20 103
After Miuradai won both the National Tournament and Winter Cup, third-year captain Murasame Kengo graduated and Wu was elected as the new captain. He took responsibility not only for games, but also for training arrangements, tactical direction, lineup construction, and the development of first-year players. 177 195
As captain, Wu deliberately limited his own scoring in exhibition games to create meaningful opportunities for newcomers. He regarded rotation, stamina management, and bench development as necessary for surviving the consecutive games of major tournaments. 194 195
Following his high-school career, Wu supported Uehara Jun’s succession as Miuradai captain while training younger players such as Uesugi Ryunosuke. He then began training with Tokyo Thunder and entered the professional league as the team’s starting point guard. 830 842
Tokyo Thunder signed Wu to a two-year contract worth eight million yen, excluding bonuses and benefits. After an exceptional rookie season, he arranged a transfer to Real Madrid following the final season of that contract. 499 867
Appearance
Wu is a powerfully built point guard whose physical profile combines guard mobility with unusual size, strength, and reach. His body fat was listed at 5% at age 15 and 4.5% at age 16. 1 164
- Solid, visibly muscular arms. 1
- Tall for a point guard, growing from 188.4 cm to 192 cm. 1 832
- Exceptional wingspan of at least 207 cm. 1 164
- Explosive leaping ability and a physique capable of contending with larger interior players. 1 583
- Maintains professional-level body management through intense, self-imposed training. 583 830
Personality
Wu is highly intelligent, self-aware, and unusually disciplined. He may appear lazy in the classroom, but he approaches basketball with extreme commitment, routinely staying after team training for additional work and maintaining demanding personal workouts. 7 480 840
He is intensely competitive and does not hold back in direct competition, even against respected opponents. However, he does not confuse dominance with recklessness: he studies opponents in advance, manages game tempo, and adapts his approach to mission conditions, score margins, and his teammates’ needs. 139 244 466
As a captain, Wu favors sustainable team growth over individual heroics. He is willing to suppress his own scoring, sacrifice personal assists, or give inexperienced players difficult minutes if it will strengthen Miuradai in the long term. 195 222
Wu remains calm under pressure and actively stabilizes his teammates’ emotions. His confidence does not prevent him from recognizing that System rewards and Experience Cards are limited trump cards rather than substitutes for preparation. 434 518 710
He strongly identifies as Chinese and rejects efforts to naturalize him as Japanese, maintaining that his long-term goal is to contribute to Chinese basketball. 865
