The Black Bear

The Black Bear
黒いくま
In the shadow of the eastern cliffs, a boy once found a wounded black bear. Instead of fear, he offered friendship — and in time, they became one another’s teachers. The bear showed him patience, power, and how to move without wasting energy. The boy taught the bear rhythm, the bounce of the rock, and the power of the shot.
They wandered from court to court, challengers and guardians alike. The bear’s strength cleared space beneath the rim; the boy’s timing finished the play. Together they became legends — two souls bound by instinct, respect, and the spirit of the game.
Now the warrior known as The Black Bear rules The Temple of Hoops court, where hoopers come to test their resolve.
