Description
James Ron, also known as James Loane, is a former professional basketball player who has since become a highly influential figure as the president of the BFB league. He is also recognized as the chairman of the Sports Culture Development Committee on the moon, a position that grants him significant authority over the sport he loves. His legendary skills on the court earned him the nicknames of a "saint" and the holder of "God's hands and feet," which also allowed him to obtain a passport to live on the moon.
In terms of personality, James is defined by a deep, almost obsessive passion for basketball and, more generally, for any spherical object. This fascination extends to an eccentric and often comical favoritism for round things, including bubbles from his pipe and, most notably, the large breasts of the character Haruka. Despite this quirky exterior, he is a shrewd and strategic thinker. His primary motivation is the growth and evolution of basketball, which leads him to take a keen interest in the raw, unrefined street style of the game played on Earthdash, an interest that sometimes puts him at odds with Haruka's own vision for the sport.
James's role in the story is that of a powerful patron and hidden catalyst. He officially launches the Open City Basketball league on Earthdash, providing a structured path for street players to gain fame and, more importantly, earn a passport to the moon. He recognizes the exceptional talent in the protagonist, Dan, and acts to nurture it, offering him a contract and using the promise of a moon passport to motivate him. Later, he adopts a secret identity, Mister Perfect, to directly assist Team Basquash from the shadows, employing a range of tools from a rocket launcher to pinpoint-accurate basketball throws. This dual role is a key development, revealing his willingness to break his own rules to protect and guide the players he believes in, such as when he uses this persona to help break Dan out of prison.
James has several key relationships that define his actions. He shares a long history with Slash Kenzi, who was his basketball coach when James was a young boy, a relationship that later becomes more complex as they work together on their shared project for the sport. His relationship with Haruka is often adversarial, as the two have differing opinions on how Basquash should develop. He also forms a significant, though initially distant, connection with Dan, whom he sees as a potential "man closest to god" for his ability to perform the legendary Basquash lightning dunk. His alter ego, Mister Perfect, becomes a direct mentor figure to the team.
Among James's notable abilities is his proficient basketball skill, which is legendary enough to have earned him a hall of fame status. This physical talent is complemented by his strategic mind for the game and his influence as a league executive. His most unusual ability is the effective use of his secret identity, Mister Perfect, whose combat and basketball skills are highly advanced.
