In episode 24 of Kuroko's Basketball season 1, titled "Don't Get the Wrong Idea," the Seirin High basketball team prepares for their next big match. As they gear up for the game, Kuroko receives a text message from his former teammates at Teikou Junior High. The message states that their former coach, Midorima, has set up a practice game between Seirin and the reigning champions, Rakuzan High School.

As the Seirin team arrives at the gymnasium, they are greeted by the Rakuzan team and their star player, Akashi.
