Most Basketball Zero styles are named after a character, not described by one. The name on the style card (Ace, Emperor, Copycat) is a nickname, and the wiki records which anime character or real player each one is based on. This guía lists them all, grouped by source, so you can match a style to a character you know and see whether it can still be rolled.
How many Basketball Zero styles are based on anime characters?
The site database holds 56 styles. Of those, 38 name an anime, manga, game or comic character as the source, 13 of them from Kuroko no Basket. Six more are named after real basketball players, and a handful are original with no source listed (Fetch, Playmaker, Izure, Chuck, Eclipse, Referee, among others).

Which anime styles can you actually get?
Rollable now means the style is in the normal or Lucky Spin pool. From the data, the rollable anime styles are:
- Rare and Epic: Clutch (Hyuga), Quick (Chigiri), Phantom (Kuroko).
- Legendary (2%): Sniper (Midorima), Star (Kagami), Lock (Kiyoshi), Flash (Hayama), Thief (Haizaki).
- Mythic (0.5%): Copycat (Kise), Ace (Aomine), Giant (Murasakibara), Jackpot (Hakari).
- Miracle (0.25%): Emperor (Akashi), Silver (Jason Silver), Gold (Nash Gold Jr.). Basketball Unc, based on Uncle Drew, is also in this tier.
Valentine (Funny Valentine) is flagged obtainable even though it is a Limited style. Everything else is Limited, Exclusive or Black Market only. For the Limited route, see how to get Limited styles, and for ranking see the styles tier list.
How to pick a style by character
- 1Pick by role first. Position and playstyle come from the wiki: a Point Guard such as Phantom or Emperor plays differently from a Center such as Lock.
- 2Use the character as a hint to the moveset. Kuroko's Phantom is invisible and passes; Midorima's Sniper takes long shots with a perfect arc.
- 3Read the awakening name, which often reads like a line from the character.
- 4Check whether it can be rolled before you plan around it.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a Miracle style belongs to Kuroko no Basket. Basketball Unc is Uncle Drew, and the data lists no anime source for it.
- Skipping the series name. Silver is based on Jason Silver from Kuroko no Basket EXTRA GAME, not the main series.
- Planning around a Limited style as if it were rollable. Most anime styles beyond Kuroko no Basket are Limited.
- Treating the character's strength in the anime as the style's strength in the game. Style placement depends on moves and zones, not the source.
