7	[[folder:Team Satomi]]
8	!! In General
9	* AdaptationalNameChange: Originally called Team Suzaku in the microseries.
10	* ButtMonkey: In a way, due to basically every opposing team expressing a strong desire to make them lose at every turn. For some it has to do with feeling insulted with them even being in the IG-1 (being oddly talented, and often lucky, rookie "upstarts"), while for some others it's born from some kind of attraction due to Takeshi's CluelessChickMagnet tendencies.
11
12	!!Takeshi Jinno/Takeshi Jin
13	-->'''Voiced by:''' Kozo Mito (Japanese), Creator/HaleyJoelOsment (English)
14
15	The Forward and team ace pilot of Team Satomi. His natural talent for racing and fighting HumongousMecha has carried the team all the way to the IG-1. However, he's still a rebellious teenager that conflicts with his teammates, especially with Liz. During his team's time in the IG-1, he's forced to cooperate more with his teammates in order to win.
16	----
17	* AdaptationalNameChange: Was named Takeshi Noa in the microseries.
18	* ChickMagnet: Has a ton of admirers, both known and unknown. Fantine, Bella, [[spoiler: Liz, and Maxine]] to name some. This doesn't work well for him since he ends up getting tons of hate from all of the others, which results in a widespread protest during one race.
19	* CluelessChickMagnet: While he's well aware of Fantine's attraction to him, even dating her officially, he is rather oblivious to the MANY other ladies with the hots for him.
20	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Relied on this trope to become Team Satomi's top ace, much to the annoyance of Liz and River.
21	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Suffers one when White Snow's Puppet Master ability causes him to injure Amy.]]
22	* LegacyCharacter: Was originally named Takeshi Noa in the original microseries and had brown hair. He also initially specialized in ninjutsu, not kendo.
23
24	!!Elizabeth "Liz" Ricarro
25	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese), Creator/MichelleRodriguez (English)
26
27	The defender of Team Satomi. Born in Puerto Rico without a family, she had little in terms of education other than Confucious and Mencius writings. Her own talent for piloting IGPX mechs brought her into Team Satomi as the trio's muscle.
28	----

30	* TheBigGirl: She is the Defender for Team Satomi.
31	* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her well-endowed figure is a source of envy for Amy.
32	* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler:She hooks up with Takeshi in the last episode.]]
33	* SheCleansUpNicely: An episode of the second season has her becoming a fashion model, and turning quite a few heads in the process, particularly Takeshi who stumbles over his words when people notice him staring. [[spoiler: She does it mainly so she can win the annual IGPX fashion contest, and use the prize money to rebuild her old orphanage that got demolished not long ago.]]
34	* TeamMom: Despite her aggressive demeanor, she's always looking out for her team, backing off immediately if something she says or does upsets them, while also being there for them if they're upset about something else.
35	* {{Tsundere}}: A Type A version. She's always seen beating up or harassing Takeshi all the time, but that's mainly because she does not want him to let everyone else on the team down.
36
37	!!Amy Stapleton
38	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoOno (Japanese), Creator/HyndenWalch (English)
39

44	* CatGirl: Has the traits of one. Her pilot suit is also shaped like a cat to communicate with Luca. The [=PS2=] game even has her meow when finishing a CombinationAttack.
45	* ChildProdigy: Her parents were always away working, so she spent most of her life surrounded by tutors and computers. She graduated at a college level when she was only ''seven''.

57	-->''“This conversation is a complete waste of time.”''

84	----
85	* DubNameChange: His name is Mark Ramsey in the English Dub.

104	!!In General
105	----
106	* AtLeastIAdmitIt: What separates them from [[spoiler:Team White Snow]]. They openly admit that they cheat whenever possible to win every race, while also [[spoiler:taking down fans who go too far]].
107	* CheatersNeverProsper: Before their losses to Velshtein and Satomi, they subverted this as it allowed them to win pretty much every championship.
108	* EveryoneHasStandards: They may cheat and play rough on races, but that's as far as they go. [[spoiler:They put down Sledge Mamma fans who try to hurt the players off the track, and in more than that sense, they aren't as bad as Team White Snow.]]

116	* AdaptationalNameChange: Named '''Yammer''' in the microseries.
117	* BerserkButton: See DontCallMeSir below.
118	** Also don't try to do anything other mech pilots when off the track. [[spoiler:Some of his fans learn the hard way.]]
119	* DontCallMeSir: Inverted, as he insists that his teammates call him “Captain.” Dimma gets called out every time for it. [[spoiler:When he’s retired from the team after failing to give them the championship, he tells them to simply call him “Yamma.”]]

144	----
145
146	!!In General

149	* MasterOfIllusion: Uses holograms, or afterimages of their FlashStep, to blindside opponents.

168	--> ''“Can we try to get this thing over with quick, Ricardo? I need to get back to my lady friends.”''

177	!!In General
178	* CombinationAttack: Their "Edge Monsoon" move involves all three attacking a target mech with Bjorn delivering a SpinningPiledriver.

202	----

206	* TeamPet: Of Team Edgeraid, though her skills as a cybernetic animal are yet to be seen.
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	[[folder:Team Skylark]]

235	!!In General
236	* ThisIsUnforgivable: All three pilots have this attitude towards Team Satomi when [[spoiler:Andrei, who substituted Amy at the time, injured Jan and additionally took out Dew with a FlashStep move]]. Fortunately, they forgive them after the next race.
237
238	!!In General
239
240	!!Alex "Cunningham" Hume
241	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinichiroMiki (Japanese), Creator/SteveBlum (English)
242	----
243	* {{Foil}}: He is what Takeshi could have been if he was trained by a perfectionist like Sir Hamgra, rather than a more lax coach like Andrei.
244	* ImplausibleFencingPowers: In a DreamSequence in the middle of the race, he displays fencing powers to duel Takeshi's kendo abilities.
245	* RedBaron: Known as "The Ghost" in the IG-1.

247
248	!!Jan Michel
249	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KiyotakaFurushima (Japanese), Creator/DaveWittenberg (English)

256	!!Sir Hamgra
257	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese), Kim Strauss (English)
258	----
259	* {{Foil}}: To Andrei in every way. Hamgra is a near-military professionalist, while Andrei is far more laid back and lets his pilots develop on their own.
260	* TheRival: [[spoiler:Long before Takeshi and Cunningham's rivalry, he was one with Andrei when he was known as Rocket G. His grudge still continued with him even after they both retired from the race, commanding his own rival team to pit against Team Satomi.

261	[[/folder]]
262
263	[[folder:Team White Snow (Season 2 '''SPOILERS''')]]
264	----
265	!!In General
266	* AntagonistAbilities: What separates them from Team Sledge Mamma is how far they're willing to give themselves in edge during the races, both on and off the track.
267	* CombiningMecha: [[spoiler:The Snowman]].
268	* HateSink: Team White Snow are a group of smug remorseless cheaters dedicated to destroying Team Satomi simply to prove they can. Their vile actions combined with their loathsome behavior makes their ultimate downfall all the more satisfying.
269	* SmugSnake: All of them waste no time congratulating themselves on their actions throughout the entire second season, behaving as if they ''aren't'' blatantly cheating at every turn and are genuinely better racers. They play up the shy humble sportsmen angle for the cameras, and immediately do and say whatever they can to get under Team Satomi's skin if they "bump into" them in private.
270	* WeaponWieldsYou: Team White Snow's "Puppet Master" attack allows their mechs to grab onto the enemy and hack into their systems, causing said mechs to attack each other. Needless to say, it gets banned from the sport entirely by the final race. [[spoiler: Not that they don't try to hack them remotely anyway]].
271
272	!!Zanak Strauss
273	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Creator/DougErholtz (English)
274	--> ''“We're going to take the IG-1 to school.”''
275	----
276	* EvilCounterpart: He is a kendo expert like Takeshi and is what the Team Satomi pilot could have been if he let his arrogance get the better of him.

278	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: His mech splits into four separate arms.
279	* PuppetKing: Or rather puppet team leader. [[spoiler:Max let him play the role while she directed all of their activities from behind the scenes.]]
280
281	!!Maxine "Max" Erlich
282	-->'''Voiced by:''' Chika Fujimura (Japanese), Creator/MelaLee (English)
283	--> ''[[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown “No, that wasn’t part of the plan!”]]]]''
284	----
285	* BewareTheQuietOnes: Don’t let her shy personality fool you. She may look passive and a subordinate under Zanak, but she’s a master programmer. [[spoiler:Moreso when she turns out to the be White Snow’s real Captain, and pretty much the head of their entire operations.]]
286	* BigBad: [[spoiler:The closest to one in Season 2. While Zanak starts off acting as White Snow's Captain, she's the true leader behind him, and it was her desire to defeat Team Satomi that put them through a whole lot of trouble throughout the second season. Even before, it's hinted that she's directly responsible for directly funding their operations and modifying/maintaining their mechs through her private company.]]
287	* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Doesn’t seem to face any repercussions other than losing the final race and a straight-up talk from Takeshi. Even when she confessed to the team she screwed with all of season two that is all her doing.]]
288	* EvilCounterpart: To Amy, sharing her ChildProdigy intellect, ShrinkingViolet personality, and lack of social skills. She's also what Amy could have been if she didn't have anyone or anything to break through those social barriers.
289	* FamedInStory: A pretty infamous one at that. [[spoiler:Not only was she a ChildProdigy in computers and robotics as a near infant, but she also hacked into ''military networks'' as a teenager to the point she was nearly arrested.]]
290	* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Thanks Takeshi for the ability to overcome all obstacles she set before him and promises not to cheat anymore the next season.]]
291	* NotSoStoic: As part of her VillainousBreakdown, she gives in to her emotions and lashes out at her teammates. [[spoiler:Proof that she is the real one calling the shots.]]
292	* ShrinkingViolet: Often communicates better verbally than socially. [[spoiler:She starts breaking out of this during her VillainousBreakdown and after straight talk from Takeshi.]]
293	* {{Troll}}: Is one as “Mini-Bear” in Takeshi’s online handheld game.
294	* VillainNoLongerIdle: [[spoiler:Averted, since she's been White Snow's Captain and thus coordinated all of their trouble against Team Satomi from the very beginning. It's only during the final race when things start turning against White Snow that she completely steps in to do things herself.]]
295	--> '''Max:''' I'll take over from here. I work better on my own anyway!
296	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: She of all people suffers this in the last race.]]
297	---> ''JUST DIE ALREADY!''
298	* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler:She was a fan of Takeshi for an unknown period of time, which inspired her to go through so much trouble to overcome his {{Determinator}} qualities.]]
299
300	!!Judi Ballasteros
301	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Japanese), Creator/MeganHollingshead (English)

303	----
304	* TheBrute: She is the Defender for Team White Snow.
305	* {{Eagleland}}: Of the Boorish type, due to her American origins. [[spoiler:How much of this is real is ambiguous due to the nature of her real Captain.]]
306	* EvilCounterpart: To Liz.
307	[[/folder]]
308
309	[[folder:Others]]
310	!!Benjamin Bright
311	-->'''Voiced by:''' Tadashi Miyazawa (Japanese), Creator/TomKenny (English)
312	----
313	* CombatCommentator: Naturally, as the host of IGPX.
314	* LargeHamAnnouncer: One of the clearest cut examples out there as he never talks without his hammy voice.
315	* MrExposition: In addition to announcing, he also provides quick refreshers of the IGPX sport (for the audience's benefit), as well as new developments as the series goes on, such as certain rule changes as a result of various weapons and tactics used by the racers.
316
317	!!Yuri Jinno/Yuri Jin
318	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmiKoshimizu (Japanese), Creator/StephanieSheh (English)
319
320	Takeshi's younger sister, who happily teases him whenever he's at home, while also providing some moral support.
321	----
322	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Much to Takeshi's chagrin.
323
324	!!Johnny
325	-->'''Voiced by:''' Yuuki Mitsugi (Japanese), Creator/BrianneSiddall (English)
326	----
327	* AscendedFanboy: He was a big fan of Team Satomi that he became great friends with Takeshi and Liz. [[spoiler:At the end of the second season, he’s officially part of their crew.]]
328	* ShipperOnDeck: Even though Takeshi and Fantine were basically already dating, he teases them about a time when their mechs ended up in a very romantic position together, musing that they did it deliberately (which they both immediately deny).
