Rukawa's fangirls are a group of three girls who love Rukawa. They are seen at almost every match and practice of Shohoku's basketball team, cheering Rukawa on. In the case of matches, e.g. Shohoku vs Ryonan, Rukawa's fangirls bring a huge poster with Rukawa's name and a heart on it and hang it on the seats. They also bring pom-poms and wear clothes with Rukawa's name on it. Whenever Rukawa scores a goal, they are often depicted by shedding tears and shaking with excitement, also dancing and chanting Rukawa's name. Sometimes, they would also say "L.O.V.E Rukawa" or "Love me Rukawa". As the anime goes on, more and more of Rukawa's fangirls are recruited by the original three and they do the same thing to support Rukawa. However, Sakuragi Hanamichi finds the girls, and the original three fangirls in particular, very annoying.
