Why is Aomine so dark-skinned?

As you can see above, Aomine is awfully dark-skinned compared to all the other
Japanese characters in Kuroko no Basuke. Why is that?




[Aomine](http://kurokonobasuke.wikia.com/wiki/Daiki_Aomine) being dark-skinned
is to show that he used to play street basketball a lot. Unlike indoor
basketball, where the players are not subject to direct sunlight, street
basketball is played outdoor. Since Aomine used to play street basketball a
lot, which can be seen from his playing style, his skin got darker. Also
notice that although his skin is dark, he is not as dark-skinned as Papa
"Otou-san" Mbaye.
