At the beginning of Kuroko's Basketball, we're introduced to our lovable main character, Tetsuya Kuroko. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about him, so much so that he barely has a presence. Moreover, his behavioral tendencies are of that of a kuudere, but unlike most other characters that share that trope, he manages to reinvent stoicism into something much cuter. And after his first (albeit awkward) meeting with Momoi, that wholesomeness comes to light in their interactions.
