To all
Slam Dunk fans, imagine standing in the exact spot where Hanamichi Sakuragi’s iconic introduction came to life — well, Kiefer Ravena just did that!
The Filipino basketball star visited the legendary Kamakura Kokomae Station, the coastal train stop made famous by the opening scene of Slam Dunk.
Nestled along the Enoden Line with its stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Mount Fuji, the station has become a pilgrimage for anime lovers and basketball fans around the world.
For Ravena, this wasn’t just a tourist stop. As he shared the moment with his followers on social media, it became clear this visit was a nod to his roots, to the anime that sparked countless hoop dreams, and to the basketball culture he’s a proud part of today.
With the Yokohama B-Corsairs’ season now officially over, Ravena is taking a moment to reflect on his journey — one filled with hard work, growth, and countless milestones, both on and off the court.
And now, with the upcoming adventure of fatherhood awaiting, there’s no doubt the next chapter in his life will be just as thrilling as the game itself.
