'''Satsuki Momoi''' (桃井 さつき ''Momoi Satsuki'') is the manager of [[Tōō Academy]] and the previous manager of the [[Generation of Miracles]] at [[Teikō Junior High]] who is in love with [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] that she sees herself as his girlfriend. 

==Appearance ==
[[File:5688-838543280.jpg|thumb|left|Satsuki's full body and facial expressions]]
Momoi is a slender and curvaceous teenage girl with lower-back length bubblegum pink hair that has bangs hanging on either side, large dark-pink eyes and large breasts (Momoi has an F-cup bust size according to [[Riko Aida]]'s Scan <ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 110, page 2</ref>). 

She is usually seen in her school uniform: a white shirt, a red bow, and a short skirt. She has also been seen multiple times with a skirt, a light green sweater, zipped open.

==Personality==
Momoi generally has a very bubbly and outgoing personality who sometimes acts flirty, especially with [[Tetsuya Kuroko]]. She has a romantic vision of love, falling for Kuroko when he gave her a popsicle stick.<ref name="chapter38">Kuroko no Basuke chapter 38, page 14</ref>

[[Shintarō Midorima]] has also commented that Momoi is very passionate about basketball, perhaps even more than players themselves.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 44, page 2</ref> She becomes very serious and almost sly when analyzing the opponents, often saying that men are just too predictable. The only person who she cannot predict is Kuroko, but that only makes her like him more.

She is normally very cheerful and bright, but when it comes to [[Daiki Aomine]], Momoi can get easily agitated. She cares about him deeply, and because of that, she often acts like his mother and lectures him.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 47, page 11</ref> Despite it, Satsuki gets angry at Aomine when he sees her "lucky panties" by trying to kick him.

==History==
[[File:Momoi Kuro.png|thumb|left|230px|Momoi falls in love with Kuroko]]
Momoi and [[Daiki Aomine]] are childhood friends who used to play basketball together when they were young. She was the manager of the boys basketball team in [[Teikō Junior High School]]. When she saw some Teikō students eating ice cream, she thought by herself that she would like some too before [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] approached her and gave her his ice cream stick with Momoi thinking that he just dumped his trash on her. Momoi turns the stick over and sees that it's actually worth one free ice cream.<ref name="chapter38" /> She instantly falls in love with Kuroko and approaches him later on, thinking of herself as his girlfriend. Later on, in the -Replace- novel, she falls even more in love with him after he rescues her from being harassed by high-schoolers.

Eventually, she decides to attend [[Tōō Academy]] in order to keep an eye on Aomine and make sure he doesn't get in to trouble. She was worried of what he might do without her nearby.

==Story==
===Interhigh preliminaries===
====Finals ====
During the [[Seirin High vs Shūtoku High (Interhigh)|match]] between [[Seirin High]] and [[Shūtoku High]], Momoi appears for the first time at the school gym of [[Tōō Academy]] where she is searching for [[Daiki Aomine]] and finds him laying on some kind of podium. She tells him that [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] and [[Shintarō Midorima]] are fighting right now and says that she thinks Kuroko will win, because he is the one she loves.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 33, page 26</ref> Aomine says they are both strong.[[File:Momoi_phones_Midorima anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Momoi calls Midorima]]After Seirin's win, she calls Midorima on the phone. Very excited, she shouts at him and asks if he's won or not. Midorima hangs up immediately and Aomine takes Momoi's phone to ring him again. Momoi was seen getting irritated by this.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 35, page 16</ref>

====Final league====
[[File:Momoi_cling.png|thumb|200px|Kuroko and Momoi reunion]]
Approximately two weeks before the final league, Momoi goes to the [[Aida Sports Gym]] to check out [[Seirin High]]'s pool training and to talk to [[Tetsuya Kuroko]]. She appears before [[Junpei Hyūga]] wearing nothing but a zipped open sweater and a teal-colored bikini. The team is shocked to see her and Momoi introduces herself as Kuroko's girlfriend, but Kuroko indirectly denies this and reaffirms that she used to be the manager of [[Teikō Junior High]]. After Kuroko gets out of the water, Momoi rushes over to him and presses him to her chest, making the entire Seirin team jealous, although Kuroko stated he couldn't breathe. When asked why she likes Kuroko, she tells the story of how they first met and how Momoi fell in love with him. Momoi then reveals that she has intel on the team, ranging from the players' abilities to [[Riko Aida]]'s cup size (barely B).<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 38, page 16</ref>

[[File:Kuroko_and_Momoi_at_the_pool anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Kuroko and Momoi at the pool]]
Kuroko and Momoi are seen talking on a nearby bench and Momoi congratulates him on entering the final league of the preliminaries. She then talks about [[Taiga Kagami]], comparing him to [[Daiki Aomine]]. She recalls Aomine's playing style from the past and says that if only he would lose once, that he would return, but he simply doesn't lose. Kuroko speculates that he might win against Aomine and when Momoi takes her leave, he promises her that he'll win for Aomine's sake.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 39, page 18</ref> She later encounters Aomine and scolds him for skipping practice. She was shocked to learn that he had met Kagami and that he thought that Kagami and Kuroko were a bad match.

[[File:Momoi analyzes Hyuga.png|thumb|200px|Momoi analyses the Seirin players]]
Before the match of [[Tōō Academy vs Seirin High]] begins, Momoi calls Aomine on the phone because he is late. He tells her that he overslept and that he is still in school. Momoi hands the phone to Imayoshi and Aomine tells him that he will come later. The match begins without Aomine. On the sidelines, [[Ryōta Kise]] meets with [[Shintarō Midorima]] and the two spectate the match together. They note that Tōō is following Momoi's tactics and that she has predicted and analysed Seirin's moves.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 44, page 3</ref> On the bench, Momoi suggests a time-out to the coach but he tells her that it's fine and asks her if she handed out the plan of play to the players. She tells him that there is no reason to worry as all of the players know what to do. The Seirin players struggle as they are cornered by the Tōō players who are following Momoi's tactics. Momoi was surprised by the screen Kuroko did to shake [[Ryō Sakurai]] off Hyūga.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 44, page 16</ref> She tells herself that she can never predicts Kuroko's movements, but that this is the reason she likes him.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 44, page 18</ref>

[[File:Aomine_arrives.png|thumb|200px|left|Aomine arrives]]
During the time-out, [[Riko Aida]] tells her players that Momoi has researched and analysed the second years play, but she can't predict the movements of Kuroko and Kagami. Seirin decides to trust Kagami and Kuroko with the ball. Riko notices that Kagami is at the limit of his jumping and decides to pull him out. When Kagami is about to be subbed back, Aomine suddenly appears putting his hand on Kagami's shoulder telling him to entertain him even a little. Aomine is substituted into the game along with Kagami.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 46, page 3</ref>

[[File:Aomine_threatens_his_teammate.png|thumb|200px|Momoi watches as Aomine threatens his teammate]]
During the break, Momoi gives some honey lemon to the team, but everyone is surprised to see that the lemons are not cut <ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 47, page 5</ref> before Sakurai then takes out his lemons, which the team eats instead. The match continues and Momoi remembers how Aomine always used to play basketball as a kid. She remembers him playing with the adults and his free-spirited style. Tōō wins the match with Aomine dominating the court.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 51, page 16</ref> In the locker room of Tōō, some of the Tōō players were talking about their past matches and commented on how terrible Kuroko played, not giving up even though it was useless. Momoi then watched as Aomine threaten his teammates for badmouthing Kuroko.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 52, page 8</ref>

===Return of Kiyoshi===
===Summer Training Camp===

===Interhigh===
[[File:Momoi_remembers_watching_Kise_and_Aomine.png|thumb|200px|Momoi remembers watching Aomine and Kise's one-on-one in Teikō]]
Momoi's team is about to play [[Kaijō High]], but [[Daiki Aomine]] is running late. Before the match beings, Momoi calls Aomine on the phone, but he doesn't answer.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 63, page 10</ref> When Aomine finally shows up in the locker room, Momoi scolds him for being late, but Aomine tells her that he would definitely be here on time because their opponent is [[Ryōta Kise]].<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 63, page 12</ref> The match begins and Momoi is on the bench along with [[Tōō Academy]]'s coach [[Katsunori Harasawa]]. After watching Kise stop Aomine's '''Formless shot''', Momoi remembers that during their time in [[Teikō Junior High]], Aomine and Kise would compete in one-on-one battles often. Kise would always lose and Momoi would ask Aomine why he can't go easier on him.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 65, page 8</ref> Aomine replied by saying that he cannot afford that. Harasawa called out to Momoi, interrupting her memories. He asks her is she gave Aomine data on Kise, but Momoi tells him that Aomine refused to accept it. Harasawa is worried for their defence but Momoi tells him that it's fine since she gave data to the other four players.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 65, page 10</ref>

[[File:Momoi_as_Aomine_fauls.png|thumb|200px|left|Momoi watching Aomine and Kise's one-on-one]]
During the break in the locker room, Momoi explains that Kise intends to copy Aomine's complete style of play not just his techniques and that it wouldn't take him long to accomplish this.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 68, page 8</ref> The Tōō players were surprised at this information. When the match restarts Kise manages to copy Aomine. Momoi notices that it is still incomplete and nothing compared to the real thing, but notes that he is learning much faster than she expected.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 68, page 18</ref> When Kise finally manages to complete his copy and passes Aomine, Momoi screams telling Aomine to stop as he fouled, this being his fourth foul.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 70, page 3</ref> When Kise attempted to pass to [[Yukio Kasamatsu]], he was blocked by Aomine who stole the ball. Momoi and everyone else was surprised. The match ends with the score of 98 - 110 for Tōō.

===Pre-Winter Cup===
When [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] with the rest of the [[Seirin High]] first years, accompanied by [[Kiyoshi Miyaji]], went to the [[Street Basketball 5 on 5]], Momoi came to the Seirin gym soaked from the rain looking for Kuroko.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 4</ref> [[Riko Aida]] decides to message Kuroko telling him to come back with everyone to the gym.

[[File:Momoi and Kuroko.png|thumb|200px|Momoi hugs Kuroko]]
When Kuroko returns, Momoi runs up to him and hugs him, crying in his arms.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 79, page 19</ref> Making the other Seirin members jealous. Kuroko gives Momoi a drink asking her what happened. She tells Kuroko that [[Daiki Aomine]] hates her and explains that during the Interhigh Aomine injured his leg. She went up to coach [[Katsunori Harasawa]] asking him to bench Aomine for the Interhigh. After Aomine found out about Momoi's intervention, he yelled at her telling her he is still able to play. Momoi then runs off crying. Kuroko tells her that everything is alright and that Aomine didn't mean what he said because he said it out of anger. Kuroko decides to walk Momoi back home.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 13</ref>

Before Kuroko and Momoi leave, the Seirin members ask Momoi of the Interhigh results. She informs them that [[Rakuzan High]] had won the Interhigh and that [[Yōsen High]] came in third. Riko asks Momoi for the reason [[Atsushi Murasakibara]] didn't compete in the Interhigh and Momoi tells her that it was because [[Seijūrō Akashi]] told him not to. Both Akashi and Murasakibara didn't compete simply because it would be too boring.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 15</ref> After informing the Seirin members of the results, Momoi leaves with Kuroko.

[[File:Kuroko shown Momoi his new drive.png|thumb|200px|left|Kuroko showing Momoi his new drive]]
Momoi and Kuroko walk home together when Momoi notices Kuroko playing with a ball, something she didn't notice him doing before. Kuroko tells her that he is developing a new technique and asks Momoi if they could make a stop at the basketball court. Kuroko wants to show Momoi his new technique, telling her to tell Aomine about it later. Kuroko then shows Momoi his '''Vanishing Drive''', something Momoi was shocked seeing.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 18</ref> After showing Momoi his new technique, both Kuroko and Momoi continue their walk when Momoi tells Kuroko that she can continue alone. She tells Kuroko that someday they will all definitely play together again.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 19</ref>

=== Winter Cup preliminaries===
Momoi spectates the matches of [[Seirin High]] and other teams of the [[Generation of Miracles]]. Her team, [[Tōō Academy]], has qualified for the Winter Cup and are in a special branch due to being in second place at the Interhigh. Momoi tries to persuade [[Daiki Aomine]] to watch the matches with her, but he is uninterested and confident that [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] and everyone else will qualify for the Winter Cup.
====Final league ====
[[File:Kise and Momoi spectate Shutoku vs Seirin.png|thumb|200px|Kise and Momoi spectate the Shūtoku vs. Seirin match]]
Momoi came running late to watch the match between [[Seirin High]] and [[Shūtoku High]]. She was late because she wanted to persuade [[Daiki Aomine]] to come with her, but she was unsuccessful. When she arrives, she meets with [[Ryōta Kise]] and the two decide to spectate the match together, even though they were rivals at the Interhigh.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 88, page 7</ref>

As the match goes to Shūtoku's favour, Momoi asks Kise on who he thinks will win. Kise tells her that he doesn't know but notes that Seirin would definitely lose only if [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] was not there. He tells Momoi that the title of "Phantom Sixth Man of the [[Generation of Miracles]]" is the real deal.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 88, page 21</ref> Momoi notices [[Shintarō Midorima]] smiling and remarks on how much he has changed. She tells Kise that he has also changed but Kise tells her that it wasn't that they changed but that Kuroko had changed them.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 89, page 15</ref> When the match continues with both Momoi and Kise remarking on how the match is amazing as both of the teams are not giving up, wishing the match would never end. When the match ends, both Momoi and Kise were surprised to find out that the match resulted in a tie, the score being 104 - 104.

[[File:Momoi faints seeing Kuroko.png|thumb|200px|left|Momoi faints seeing Kuroko]]
Later on, Kise and Momoi meet Midorima who was getting a drink from the vending machine.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 93, page 11</ref> The three walk towards Midorima's rickshaw and find that a dog peed inside. Momoi grabs the dog and protects it from Midorima who wanted to throw the dog away. Kuroko appears looking for the dog. Momoi notices the striking similarity between the dog and Kuroko and then faints.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 93, page 15</ref> Kise takes Momoi and carries her back home.

Seirin's next match with [[Kirisaki Daiichi High]] started and Momoi along with the rest of the [[Tōō Academy]] players (including Aomine) came to spectate.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 100, page 10</ref> Momoi and the rest dragged Aomine by baiting him with a photo album of his favourite idol and trapping him in a bag, dragging him to the stadium. During the match, the Tōō players notice that Seirin is at a disadvantage since Kuroko has left the court. After the half-time, when Kuroko returns to the court, the Tōō players remark on how Kuroko disabled [[Makoto Hanamiya]]'s spider web and freed Seirin, allowing them to score again. When Kuroko changed the course of the passes on his own, Aomine tells his teammates that there is no logic needed and that it is simply trust.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 105, page 13</ref> Seirin has won the match and Aomine leaves Momoi behind, smiling now that all of his past teammates have advanced to the Winter Cup.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 108, page 7</ref>

===Winter Training Camp===
[[File:Riko_accepts_Momoi's_challenge.png|thumb|200px|Riko accepts Momoi's challenge]]
[[Tōō Academy]] heard that [[Seirin High]] will be going to a hot springs nearby and they decide to surprise them. Momoi meets [[Riko Aida]] in the girls part of the springs while the rest of the team meets the others in the boys section.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 109, page 20</ref> Momoi tells Riko that there is something she has to tell her and that is that Tōō will be Seirin's first opponent in the Winter Cup. Momoi tells Riko that since she likes [[Tetsuya Kuroko]], she won't go easy on them and adds that it's too bad that Seirin will be out on their first day. Riko tells her that Seirin is not weak and challenges Momoi.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 110, page 15</ref> Tōō accepts Seirin's challenge.

===Winter Cup===
====Round 1====
[[File:Momoi_explains_Vanishing_Drive.png|thumb|left|200px|Momoi explains the Vanishing Drive]]
The first round match of the Winter Cup between [[Seirin High vs Tōō Academy]] is about to begin. Before the match, Momoi notices [[Tetsuya Kuroko]]'s determination to win as he tells [[Daiki Aomine]] that he won't lose again. When the match begins, Momoi analyses each of the [[Seirin High]] players and their new techniques. She gives her players analysis which will help them defeat their opponents. During the time out, Momoi discovered the secret behind Kuroko's Vanishing Drive and informs her team of the trick; Kuroko misdirects the opponents attention to Kagami, enabling him to use the Vanishing Drive.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 119, page 6</ref> Momoi notes that the Vanishing Drive is a combination play with Kuroko and [[Taiga Kagami]]. [[Shoichi Imayoshi]] and the rest decide to deal with Kuroko while [[Daiki Aomine]] should guard Kagami, but Aomine disagrees and goes in a one-on-one with Kuroko where he stops his drive by closing his eyes.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 119, page 14</ref>

Before the second half, Momoi informs her team of Kuroko's Misdirection and how it works.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 126, page 12</ref> She notes that Kuroko has to make eye contact before passing the ball and that the key to stopping Misdirection is not to look at Kuroko, but the player he is passing the ball to. Momoi decides that Imayoshi should guard Kuroko. With Imayoshi guarding Kuroko, Seirin is having difficulties using his Misdirection as Momoi has completely shut him down. However, when Kuroko uses his '''Misdirection Overflow''', Momoi's tactics fall apart.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 128, page 17</ref>

[[File:Momoi_cries_after_Too's_loss.png|thumb|200px|Momoi cries after Tōō loses]]
During the time out, Momoi notices that Aomine wasn't listening to the plan. She then remembers that this was his habit back in [[Teikō Junior High]] where if they fought a strong opponent Aomine wouldn't listen.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 130, page 17</ref> She then notes that Aomine has returned to his former self, even if for a little.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 130, page 18</ref> As both Aomine and Kagami enter the Zone, Momoi spectates the rest of the match. When the buzzer beater is rung and the match ends with Tōō's defeat, Momoi cries as it is the first time Aomine and Tōō have lost.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 139, page 10</ref> After the match, both Aomine and Kuroko reconcile. Both teams go to their locker rooms and Momoi goes to search for Aomine. Aomine then asks her if she wants to go buy basketball shoes with him to which he accepts.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 139, page 21</ref> Momoi smiles as Aomine returns to his former self.

==== Quarter-finals====
[[File:Momoi_hugs_Kuroko.png|thumb|left|200px|Momoi hugs Kuroko]]
[[Tetsuya Kuroko]] asks [[Daiki Aomine]] to teach him how to shoot. Aomine accepts and the two train regularly. On the day of the quarter-finals before the match, Momoi comes and hugs Kuroko during his training and asks Aomine on how they accomplished the shooting in such a small period of time.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 145, page 7</ref> Aomine tells her that they didn't do anything special and that he just made Kuroko change his shooting form. Kuroko thanks Aomine, as the latter leaves telling Kuroko that the next time they meet, they will be enemies. Aomine encourages Kuroko not to lose and leaves with Momoi.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 145, page 10</ref>

[[File:Dai-chan and Satsuki.png|thumb|200px|Momoi and Aomine spectate Seirin vs Yōsen]]
Momoi spectates the [[Yōsen High vs Seirin High]] quarter-finals match along with Aomine who accompanies her.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 148, page 6</ref> The two comment on the team play of both teams and notice [[Tatsuya Himuro]]'s basketball potential. When Momoi asks Aomine if he is as strong as the [[Generation of Miracles]], Aomine disagrees saying that he is not a prodigy and can never become one because he doesn't have the talent.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 165, page 16</ref> During the last quarter of the game, Aomine notes how ironic it is that [[Seirin High]] is solely relying on [[Taiga Kagami]] while [[Yōsen High]] is using teamwork. During the last seconds of the match, both Aomine and Momoi were surprised when Kuroko stopped [[Atsushi Murasakibara]] from scoring the final basket.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 169, page 2</ref>

====Semi-finals====
[[File:Aomine and Momoi go watch semi-finals.png|thumb|200px|left|Momoi drags Aomine to watch the Semi-finals]]
Momoi and [[Daiki Aomine]] are in a café shop when Aomine asks her if she believes in destiny.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 189, page 17</ref> Momoi is surprised by Aomine's sudden question but Aomine explains it by wondering if it was really a coincidence that he and the rest of the [[Generation of Miracles]] have all gathered at [[Teikō Junior High]] along with [[Tetsuya Kuroko]]. He also mentions [[Taiga Kagami]], who has all of the qualifications of becoming a Miracle and being on par with them. If he had joined Teikō, he would have also become one of them. However, Aomine describes Kagami as the true light who met his destined shadow.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 189, page 20</ref>

Aomine and Momoi later do enter the gym to watch the last 5 minutes of the match. Aomine is shoved in by Momoi and he says to her that they've come at the right time, as both Kuroko and [[Ryōta Kise]] are about to enter the field for the last showdown.
==== Finals====
Before the finals of the Winter Cup, Momoi was seen walking with [[Daiki Aomine]] and the rest of her team.

In the team introduction of the finals of the Winter Cup, Momoi smiled when [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] was introduced to the crowd.

===Intel===
Momoi has been the manager of a basketball team since Junior High school, maybe even before that. Because of this, she has a lot of experience with basketball and loves the sport very much. As the manager, she scouts other teams and reviews their playing patterns. She is able to analyze every ability of every player and can foresee their moves. As commented on by [[Riko Aida]], she is an expert in data-collection and resembles a spy.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 44, page 9</ref> She then delivers the information to her players and then they are able to read their opponents' moves. So far, the only players that she couldn't successfully predict or see their inner talent are [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] and [[Chihiro Mayuzumi]] because of their lack of presence.

==Relationships==
===[[Daiki Aomine]]===
[[File:Ao-Momo.png|thumb|230px|Aomine and Momoi as children]]
Since their childhood, Aomine and Momoi have had a very close friendship due in part to them living close together. They attended festivals together every year and are close enough for Momoi's grandmother to be fond of him as well.<ref>Replace PLUS chapter 22 pages 7-8</ref> They often played basketball together as children <ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 49, page 4</ref> and continue to share an interest in the sport with Momoi only becoming a manager in order to support him on whatever team he joins.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 204, page 7</ref> She knows well how significant the sport is in his life and feels happy by extension to see him enjoying himself.

They are close enough to be on a first name basis, with Aomine calling her as only "Satsuki" and Momoi calling him "Dai-chan" for much of their youth. She abandoned this nickname upon their enrollment in [[Teikō Junior High]], citing the worry that "people are gonna talk" if they seemed too close, and instead referred to him as "Aomine-kun". He finds both names tiresome, though dislikes the latter more strongly because of its unfamiliarity.<ref>Replace PLUS chapter 22, page 6</ref>

Their relationship continued to gradually grow more distant throughout their time in junior high, due to much in part to Aomine's shift in attitude towards basketball and his life in general. Momoi continued to support and worry for him regardless, taking it on herself to act in his best interest when he couldn't, and the two remained close friends that walked home together every day. Momoi grew increasingly concerned for him as this dynamic worsened, going so far as to cry over the fact that he was losing his friends<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 223, pages 11-14</ref> and fearing that, should she not look after him, he would only get himself into trouble.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 12</ref><ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 38, page 18</ref>

[[File:Aomine and Momoi go watch semi-finals.png|thumb|230px|Momoi forcing Aomine to watch a game]]
For this reason, Momoi discarded her personal wish to attend school with [[Tetsuya Kuroko]] and instead followed Aomine to [[Tōō Academy]].<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 38, page 14</ref> She is exceedingly mindful of his wellbeing and acts accordingly even if it goes against his will. While this behavior frustrates Aomine at times, he ultimately does understand that she is only looking out for him and could never hate her regardless of his anger in the moment. He does not enjoy these arguments any more than she does and feels guilty over making her upset.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, pages 10-13</ref> Her concern is not limited to basketball and extends to his general quality of life, as instead of letting him sleep in on his days off, Momoi will force him to wake up and travel somewhere.<ref>[[Kuroko no Basuke Official Fan Book CHARACTERS BIBLE]]</ref>

Following the defeat of Tōō to [[Seirin High]], Momoi was relieved to see Aomine's love of basketball return and the two have since grown closer again. They have been shown spending time with each other more often with Aomine inviting her to go shopping for training gear and Momoi happily asking that he buy them dinner in return. She has also returned to his previous nickname of "Dai-chan", showing that their friendship is more important to her than how other people may perceive them.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 139, page 20</ref>

The potentially romantic relationship between Aomine and Momoi has been mentioned multiple times <ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 41, page 5</ref> with neither party showing any sort of interest in the other every time it has been brought up. Momoi does not understand why he would be considered "cool" to girls <ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 205, page 8</ref> and Aomine does not view her in a remotely appealing manner, as seen in his complete lack of reaction when seeing up her skirt beyond a nonchalant joke ("Are those your battle panties? They're pretty bold."). Ironically, Momoi fits Aomine's ideal type of a girl with large breasts, though he does not particularly care about this either.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 108, pages 21-22</ref>

[[File:Momoi hugs Kuroko.png|thumb|230px|Aomine annoyed with Momoi's interference]]
Additionally, Aomine is rather indifferent towards Momoi's crush on Kuroko and cares more about the both of them as individuals. In an omake, he was dragged along by [[Ryōta Kise]] to tail the two on their date, where he spent his time scaring off any guys that tried to flirt with her and offhandedly congratulated her for receiving a gift from Kuroko once they got home.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 108, page 23</ref> He is neither supportive nor critical of the crush itself and is instead more bothered by her excessive behavior. It is implied that Aomine is aware that Kuroko does not return her feelings but chooses not to mention it on purpose.

Aomine's protective nature towards Momoi has been made much more clear in the series' side content, such as in extra chapters and the [[Replace]] light novels. He has been shown catching her when she falls,<ref name="r9.2"/><ref>Replace PLUS chapter 15, pages 21-25</ref> protecting her from guys that try to bother her,<ref>Replace PLUS chapter 2, page 33</ref><ref>Replace PLUS chapter 3, pages 19-21</ref> and accompanying to her places she wants to go even if he has no real interest in it, himself. While he often ends up unintentionally annoying her along the way, Aomine is not oblivious to the fact that he does and will usually find a way to make it up to her, such as by paying for her drinks at a vending machine. In return, Momoi does not usually hold onto her anger for long and is often left feeling grateful for his care.

===[[Tetsuya Kuroko]]===
{{Quote|He's the man I fell in love with.|Momoi|about Kuroko}} 
[[File:Kuroko and Momoi's date.png|thumb|left|Kuroko's date with Momoi, as seen in the extras]]
Kuroko and Momoi have been friends since Junior High School after having met each other as a part of the [[Teikō Junior High]] basketball team. At first, Momoi didn't think much of him due to his size and lack of presence off the court. However, after seeing him practice and prove his worth on and off the court, her opinion changed and became amazed at his determination. She occasionally became surprised and even flustered every time he surprised her with his presence, which made her wonder why she was so flustered around him and began to wonder if it was cause she developed feelings for him. However, once Kuroko gave Momoi free ice cream, she immediately fell in love with him and continues to attempt to cling to him. Her feelings later deepened further after Kuroko saved her from being harassed by high-schoolers. Since then, she constantly flirted with Kuroko by asking to go home with him and giving him water specially during practices. She wanted to go to the same high school as Kuroko, but she decided that it was more important to keep an eye on [[Daiki Aomine]] so to keep him out of trouble.

[[File:Kuroko cheers up Momoi anime.png|thumb|200px|Kuroko cheers up Momoi]]
So far, it is unknown if Kuroko has returned her feelings (or is even truly aware of them), but he deeply cares for her, treats her very kindly and sees her as a close friend, even calling her to help [[Taiga Kagami]] get a new pair of basketball shoes. Even with her advances, he never fails to return them in kindness (although at times in rebuke) and typically denies her being his girlfriend, but is always polite to her and even stands up for her on her behalf. He even agreed to go out on a date with her (although he saw it as an outing between friends) and gave her a stuffed toy as a gift. He is also very good at calming her down, as demonstrated when she broke down crying over a fight with Aomine, to which she was grateful that he comforted her.<ref>Kuroko no Basuke chapter 80, page 13</ref>

===[[Generation of Miracles]]===
Although not overly shown in the manga or anime, their relationship was revealed in the -[[Kuroko no Basuke -Replace-|Replace]]- novels. Momoi and [[Seijūrō Akashi]] usually gathered data together for their team. She was very obedient towards him and feared him slightly like everyone else did. She and [[Ryōta Kise]] got along well because of their similarly bubbly personalities (and Kise was the first one to notice that she had a crush on Kuroko). [[Shintarō Midorima]] often asked to see her class notes, also asking on what materials she took them on or what pencil did she use (he was convinced that the quality of the materials had something to do with her good grades and he wanted to improve his to beat Akashi). With [[Atsushi Murasakibara]], she argued that 'Momo-chin' was not a good nickname and he switched to calling her 'Sa-chin' instead.

Even then, she and the others still valued their relationships with one another, and by far Momoi was the one who on a sentimental level, had a sense of nostalgia towards everyone (especially since after the other 5 were humbled by their defeats by [[Seirin High]]).

===[[Seirin High]]===
[[File:Seirin_looking_at_Momoi's_breasts.png|thumb|left|200px|Seirin players attracted to Momoi]]
When they first saw Momoi, they are attracted to her, to say the least where they are often caught oozing on her, after which they are punished by [[Riko Aida]], who is irritated by Momoi's beauty and attitude. The difference between Momoi and Riko's cup size is more than often noted. When Momoi clings to her crush [[Tetsuya Kuroko]], the entire team is engulfed with jealousy.

Although Momoi respects the team's strength, she was still convinced that [[Tōō Academy]] was too strong for them, as she was already sure of Tōō's victory when she met with Riko and let her know about their match in the first round in the [[Winter Cup]]. Riko replied with passion that she shouldn't look down on them and Momoi was eventually proven wrong when Seirin emerged victorious over Tōō in the WC. Regardless, she showed great sportsmanship and congratulated them nonetheless and since then, continues to cheer for them in the Winter Cup and even assists in training them for their upcoming matches afterwards (which are also at times her attempts to get closer to Kuroko).
