Wei Liu (劉 偉 Liu Wei) is an exchange student from China and a second year small forward at Yōsen High.
Appearance[]
Liu is abnormally tall. He has a long face, very narrow eyes and thin eyebrows. Liu's light brown hair covers both his forehead and the back of his neck but leaves both his eyes clearly visible. Liu is most often seen with an expression of mild distaste on his face. His Yosen jersey number is 11.
Personality[]
Liu generally speaks in a serious, deadpan manner, compounded by his apathetic resting face. He can be somewhat blunt in his perception of others, as seen in his harsh words towards his captain's appearance, though does not seem to do so out of genuine malice. Liu speaks in a very formal and old-fashioned style reminiscent of a stereotypical Chinese character. His use of アル (aru) is similar to saying "thee/thou" instead of "you" after being (falsely) told that it was a popular way to speak.
Most notably, Liu is rather gullible, and has gathered numerous misconceptions due to his lack of knowledge on Japan and abundance of trust in his teammates. He tends to jump to conclusions and is susceptible to rumors, as he was scared of seeing Tatsuya Himuro's left eye after hearing that it was cursed.[1] His naivete is most taken advantage of by Kensuke Fukui, who finds it funny to prank him with false information. He has "taught" him that it is trendy to end his sentence with "yes" and that it is customary in Japan to always greet or flirt with a girl if he sees one.[2]
Story[]
Winter Cup[]
Liu is present with his teammates when Alex excitedly greets Himuro, who then asks for a minute to go talk with her. This leaves the entire team stunned, except for Liu, who is at most shown to be amused, whereas Fukui and Okamura blush at the sight of Alexandra. When Yosen's captain, Okamura starts crying about his lack of popularity, vice-captain Fukui bluntly tells him that no matter what he does he won't be popular. Liu adds by suggesting he change his hair and chin, much to Okamura's despair.
