15	[[folder:In General]]
16	Originally, there were two teams on top of the Tokyo expressway, both with a four member line-up. On one side were '''The Four Devas''', known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" [[note]]四天王, Shi Tennou[[/note]] in Japan, loners who found themselves lead by one man, thought for years to be the fastest in Tokyo.
17	\
18	On the other side were '''The Four Devils''' [[note]]し鬼将, Shi Kishou[[/note]], who were thought of as mere urban myths by most. Fast to the point of legend, they were less of a team and more of a casual aggregation of racers.
19	\
20	The Devas and the Devils would both disband upon their complete defeats at the hands of a single racer, but that was only a chapter in their respective stories. Some, in particular, would contribute to [[Characters/TokyoXtremeRacer2AndZeroBosses the birth of new, legendary teams.]]
21	----
22	* DiskOneFinalBoss: The Devas are set up to be the very best on the C1 Loop... and then, upon their defeats, more teams show up, eventually leading the player to face the Devils.
23	* FourIsDeath: Both teams have a ''four''-driver line-up, and both teams' Japanese names utilize "Shi" instead of "Yon" in their prononciations. Bonus points to the Devas, who have ''Death'' God Driver amongst their ranks.
24	* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
25	** The Devas:
26	*** Sanguine: Midnight Silver Wolf. A prideful driver who only wants to face those he deems on the same level as himself, he never backs down from such challenges and has endured some truly harrowing events without ever leaving the Expressway.
27	*** Choleric: After Midnight Cinderella. To her, highway racing was a way to let off the stress of her everyday life, atleast at first, and her "American-style" driving had the tendency to overwhelm whoever she was racing against. She's also definitely not afraid of speaking up her mind, no matter how rude others might find her.
28	*** Melancholic: Death God Driver. Brooding, but surprisingly introspective, he tries to present himself as completely fearless, but his own behaviour indicates moments of faltering and self-awareness in that projection.
29	*** Phlegmatic: Dream Wraith. Disliked by others because of his personality, he tends to alternate between stubborn pride and a desire to see other drivers improve enough to beat him. In spite of everything, he always tends to take a supportive role within a team, even if he's the one spearheading it.
30	** The Devils:
31	*** Sanguine: Crimson Devil. Although stoic and self-centered, his constant drive to improve himself and become the very best does not go unnoticed. Neither do his various eye-catching bodykits, a "loud and proud" statement by themselves.
32	*** Choleric: Exhaust Eve. Even when her alleged mood swings are taken into account, Eve's short temper and stubborness are always on display. She desires to stand out amongst the crowds on the Expressway, and detests the Thirteen Devils, calling them "bratty kids".
33	*** Melancholic: Z.E.R.O. Task-oriented above everything else, very analytical and detailed in his tuning and driving. In spite of that, Z.E.R.O prefers to keep his head down, retaining a discreet and elegant air in the process.
34	*** Phlegmatic: UNKNOWN. To be fair, next to nothing is known about his personality. What is known is that he's incredibly reserved and protective of his privacy, as well as impossibly calm. He's also completely indifferent to ''anything'', be it good or bad.
35	* LegendFadesToMyth: The truth about both Devas and Devils quickly faded into memories in the years following their defeats. This is shown by the bits of lore contained in various bios offering contrasting claims about them: by the time of ''Import Tuner Challenge'', the new generation of street racers will offer some hilariously erroneous explanations and opinions on the lot of them, including those who are still active like Midnight Cinderella.
36	* ThemeNaming: The Four Devas have a general night theme going on with their street names. ''Midnight'' Cinderella and ''Midnight'' Wolf are obvious, with the latter being a double whammy as wolves are popularly thought as nocturnal animals, whilst ''Dream'' Wraith's association is more tied to the act of dreaming taking place at night. Death Driver seems to be the OddNameOut... but, like with Midnight Wolf, popular thought associates death with night in multiple ways.
37	* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The Four ''Devils'' have a strong Abrahamic theme to them and their street names: Crimson Devil and Exhaust Eve are self-explanatory, evocating, respectively, the BigRedDevil and [[AdamAndOrEve the female progenitor of mankind]]. Z.E.R.O. and UNKNOWN aren't quite as apparent, but their stickers feature, respectively, an angel and a horned, winged skull placed on top of an exhagram. His original sticker featured an inverted crucifix and the NumberOfTheBeast.

'''[[IHaveManyNames Shinigami]]''' [[IHaveManyNames if you will]]. For the longest time, there was no driver feared more than one '''Keiichi Oda''', member of the Devas, and first to challenge the player in ''Tokyo Xtreme Racer''.
50	\
51	Following his defeat, many thought Oda had perished in a crash that totaled his car. And yet, in the late hours of the night, rumors abound him still prowling the Tokyo Expressway to challenge up-and-coming racers...
52	----
53	* BerserkButton: His bio in ''Street Supremacy'' mentions that ever since his faithful crash, Keiichi has developed a strong distate for reckless drivers, especially those who get ahead by bumping into their opponents' cars. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Should the player do just that, or bump into anything during a race against him, he will refuse to join their team]].
54	* DegradedBoss: He became a Wanderer after the events of the first game. He's still as fearsome as he was before, though.
55	* DubNameChange:
56	** Crave's translation changed his real name to "Ben Salinas" in ''2'' and "Craig Owens" in ''Zero''.
57	** Moreso, his street name is "Death God Driver" in all games in Japanese. In the Crave translation, it becomes "Grim Reaper" in the first two games, "Devil Driver" in ''Zero'', ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]'' Death Driver in ''3'', and, ''finally'', plain "Death Driver" in ''Street Supremacy'' and ''Import Tuner Challenge''.
58	* InterfaceScrew: Just like Gloomy Angel, a blue-ish filter will be applied over the camera whenever the player gets into his S15's slipstream in ''3''.
59	* NotAfraidToDie: Keiichi is said to be incapable of fearing ''anything'', even death itself, which allows him to reach limits other drivers would balk at. Zigzagged after the events of the first game, though: he continues to project an area of fearlessness, and drives like it, but the upgrades he installed on his S15 indicate that his crash has shaken him up.
60	* PaletteSwap: Downplayed; His S15's and Gloomy Angel's in ''3'' sport the exact same decals, but with different colors, aero parts, rims, and performance. Likewise in ''Street Supremacy'', where performance-wise, their two cars are identical.
61	* ShroudedInMyth: Ever since a crash that almost destroyed his S15, he disappeared from the racing scene, to the point many thought he had perished. One night, however, he reappared out of the blue, as if nothing had ever happened, much to the disbelief of many of his fellow drivers.
62	* SkeletonMotif: His unique sticker features a hooded skeleton welding a scythe. His RX-8 in ''Import Tuner Challenge'' is covered in decals featuring the Grim Reaper.

71	-->''Automatics are real cars!''
72	Second member of the Devas, '''"Midnight Cinderella" Mitsue Hayashibara''' is famous for being "a Yankee at heart". Blunt, straightforwards and with a strong personality, her aggressive driving style and use of an automatic transmission make her stand out even amongst Tokyo's colorful street racing scene. She was one of the first women to become an underground celebrity of her own right, thanks to her undefeated streak, to the point she became a member of the Four Devas.
73	----
74	* ButNotTooForeign:
75	** Born in Japan, Mitsue spent years living in the United States, to the point of earning her license over there and being more familiar with automatics than manuals. Later bios state that her daytime job is translator, hinting at having a strong, if not total command over English.
76	** Her bio from ''Street Supremacy'' is more precise about this, stating she returned to Japan after turning thirty. Because of ''[[SchrodingersCanon Street Supremacy]]'' [[SchrodingersCanon 's dubious canonical nature, however, take this with a pinch of salt]].
77	* CaptainCrash: As a result of driving an automatic transmission, her car takes a lot of time to re-accelerate after braking. Mitsue's solution is to not let off the accelerator, even when braking. As a result, she crashes often in slow corners. She grows out of it by the time of ''3''.
78	* ChallengeSeeker:
79	** By ''Zero'', it's mentioned that she's constantly seeking opponents driving high-power cars to give her something resembling a close battle, finding no release in handily trashing anyone challenging her as she did whilst part of the Devas.
80	** Actively wanting a challenge is also the reason why she turns down the player's challenge when they first meet her in ''Import Tuner Challenge'', thinking of them as yet another run-of-the-mill racer of the C1 Loop. She promptly changes her tune after the player begins racking up win after win.
81	* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Her bio in the first game mentions how no one saw her lose a single race since she started racing on the Expressway. ''Zero'' mentions she took a noticeable break from racing after she finally lost as part of the events that lead to the Devas' dissolution.
82	* DegradedBoss: Alongside two of her fellow Devas, she's demoted to Wanderer starting with ''2'', albeit one of the hardest ones in each game she appears in. Averted come ''Import Tuner Challenge'', where she returns to being a boss.
83	* DrivingStick: One of the few, if not ''only'' drivers on the Tokyo Expressway to drive a car with an [[AvertedTrope automatic transmission]], something that some clearly mock her for given the quote usually found in her various bios.
84	* DubNameChange:
85	** Crave's translation changed her real name to "Kimberly Combs" in ''2'' and "Judy Baughman" in ''Zero''.
86	** Moreso, her street name is "After Midnight Cinderella" in Japan. In the Crave translation, it's "Midnight Cinderella" in the first game, "Late-Night Cinderella" in ''2'' and ''Zero'', "Past 12 O'clock Cinderella" in ''3'', ''back'' to "Late-Night Cinderella" in ''Street Supremacy'', and ''finally'' back to "Midnight Cinderella" in ''Import Tuner Challenge''.
87	* GracefulLoser: Tends to generally take her defeats his way, fully admitting when she has been bested. She even notes she previously misjudged the player in ''Import Tuner Challenge'' upon being defeated.
88	* TheLadette: Mitsue is not only a very famous veteran in a world stereotypically associated with male interests, but [[BrutalHonesty a very blunt and straightforwards person]]. On one side, this makes her very respected by her street racing person and considered a point of reference... on the other, some of her male colleagues flat-out do not see her as a woman as a result.
89	* MeaningfulName: Her street name, Midnight Cinderella -- or ''After'' Midnight Cinderella in Japan -- became more meaningful in ''Zero'', where the requirement to face her is for the console's internal clock to be between 12 AM and 2 AM.
90	* MrExposition: Takes up this role upon being defeated in ''Import Tuner Challenge'', pointing the player in the right direction during their rise as the Expressway's fastest and explaining to them the backstories of several characters, such as the PHANTOM NINE, [[spoiler:White Charisma, and Jintei]].
91	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Calls out Jintei to his face after the player notches a third win against the PHANTOM NINE, having realized what happened to him and why he left the world of street racing years ago. Mitsue, in particular, will point out how the man he used to be, the man who inspired her, wouldn't behave like how he's been behaving, before telling Jintei to get a grip on himself. Doubles as DareToBeBadass.]]
92	* YouRemindMeOfX: Will remark on how much the player reminds her of [[spoiler:Jintei]], another racer who appeared just as suddenly and immediately left an enormous impression upon her. She even encourages the player to live up to that comparison.

96	%%Due to the frequent changes in his dub name, tropers are to refer to him as either "Midnight Wolf" or by his real name, Tatsuya Fukuda.

101	-->''Is that all you wanna say?''
102	Few things are certain on the fast-paced, ever-changing world of the Tokyo Expressway, if there are any to begin with. One of them is that '''Tatsuya Fukuda''' will always drive alone, to make sure that no one will ever get hurt because of his own actions.
103	\
104	Better known as '''Midnight Wolf''', Tatsuya's technically the second-in-command of the Devas, and the third member of the team the player will face.
105	----
106	* TheAloner:
107	** After being involved in a crash that killed his best friend, he avoids crowds like his life depends on it. What makes it particularly tragic is that the crash was no fault of his own, yet he believes himself to be a bad luck charm. As a result, Tatsuya only appears late in the night, when he thinks that he can run in peace. Notably, after the Devas split up, he never joined any other team.
108	** Seems to have died down somewhat by the time of ''Import Tuner Challenge''; although he still thinks of himself as responsible for that crash, he's eased up a bit towards other drivers. That said, he now shows up even ''later'' than before, towards daybreak.
109	* BerserkButton: Like his fellow Deva Keiichi Oda, Tatsuya looks down on reckless drivers, especially those who bump into other cars, be it accidentally or on purpose. In his case, however, the feeling is partly caused by self-loating.
110	* BrokenAce: Very few drivers can boast to be as good of a racer as Midnight Wolf in his prime, whose ability to read opponents' and traffic's movement to capitalize on them is compared to art in ''Zero''. However, underneath the façade of the stoic champion lies a lonely, self-loathing man with a lot of internalized negativity over things he merely thinks he's caused, to the point he's incapable of judging them objectively.
111	* DegradedBoss: He became a Wanderer following the events of the first game. In spite of that, he's actually tougher than some early-to-mid-game bosses.
112	* DubNameChange:
113	** Crave's translation changed his real name to "Gordon Pierce" in ''2'' and "John Cooperson" in ''Zero''.
114	** Moreso, his street name in the Japanese version of all games is "Midnight Silver Wolf". Crave's translation changes that to "Nocturnal Wolf" in the first game, "Silver Wolf" in ''2'', "Night Wolf" in ''Zero'', ''back'' to "Silver Wolf" for ''3'', then ''back again'' to "Night Wolf" in ''Street Supremacy" before ''finally settling on "Midnight Silver Wolf" for ''Import Tuner Challenge''.
115	* TheJinx: Believes himself to be this, as "every time" he races as part of a group, he'll claim someone will end up involved in an accident of some kind. It's merely self-loathing projection from the accident that claimed his best friend's life, however, as no other accident of the sort has ever been recorded.
116	* ShoutOut:
117	** To eagle-eyed players, his personal sticker should look atleast a bit familiar: it bears a great resemblance to a Franchise/KamenRider helmet.
118	** A far more obvious one: his Fairlady [=Z32=] in Street Supremacy is clad in a [[Series/KnightRider KARR-inspired]] bodykit.
119	* TragicBromance: He and his best friend were very, ''very'' close, racing as part of the same street racing team. When they were unexpectedly involved in a crash, his best friend was killed and his team dissolved, leaving Tatsuya to shoulder the self-imposed blame all by his lonesome. In the present day, he's constantly isolating himself and pushing away anyone who dares get too close to him out of fear of getting someone killed again.
120	* WeUsedToBeFriends: His bio in ''Zero'' mentions that he fell out with his fellow Devas over some sort of dispute.

124	!!!"Dream Wraith" Yohei Kimijima

127	[[caption-width-right:128:Dream Wraith's signature logo]]
128	-->''We've got one goal: to run every single one of you off the road.''
129
130	There was a moment in time when people on the C1 Loop thought that the limit had been reached, that there was nothing that could go faster than that yellow [=NSX=] [=NA2=]. If racing around the Loop is akin to a dream, then managing to catch sight of that car might as well been considered a mirage: no matter how much you insisted that you saw ''him'', no one was willing to believe you.
131	\
132	That's the legend of '''Yohei Kimijima''', better known as '''Dream Wraith'''. Leader of the Devas, and the last member of the team the player will face.
133	----
134	* AsianRudeness: Subverting JapanesePoliteness, Yohei is, for a lack of a better term, [[JerkAss a complete jerk]] whenever he interacts with the player, deeming them to be a mere obstacle in his way to the top, and will mock their achievements as insignificant. Per his bios, this extends to near everyone who interacts with him.
135	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: His "Zero Countering" technique he developed to make up for his car's lack of torque at low speeds: it allows him to reduce deceleration as much as possible without putting straining the tires, but it makes the car understeer to dangerous levels. All it takes is one mistake for Yohei to crash head-first into the nearest obstacle.
136	* DiskOneFinalBoss: Serves as one in the first ''Tokyo Xtreme Racer''. After him, the player will have to deal with the Four Devils.
137	* DubNameChange:
138	** Crave's translation changes his real name to "James Sweet" in ''2'' and "Adrian Lewandows" in ''Zero''.
139	** Moreso, his street name remains consistent as "Dream Wraith" or, alternatively, "Dreaming Wraith" in Japanese versions of all games. In Crave's translations, his street names becomes "Banshee" in the first game, "Phantom Racer" in ''2'', "Dreamy Ghost" in ''Zero'', "Dream Cloud" in ''Street Supremacy'' and, ''finally'', "Dream Fiend" in ''Touge Wars''.
140	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
141	** His bio in ''Street Supremacy'' states that, in spite of his behaviour, Yohei actively sends anonymous e-mails to every opponent he defeats with advice on how to improve their racecraft and tips on what to specifically work on. As much as he wants to be on top of the racing world, he wants to see other succeeds too.
142	** He will also begrudgingly respect the player upon being defeated in ''Drift 2'' after having previously insulted them, further conceding that he might be the kind of driver Jintei is always on the lookout for: from him, that's massive praise.
143	* LivingLegend: Was this in earlier games, being so blindingly fast that, reportedly, next to no one could see him approaching in their rear view mirrors. This gradually died down as he faced the new generation of racers and lost against them.
144	* NoSwastikas: Double Subverted: the skull that's prominently featured on his unique sticker in the first game features what resembles a shuriken on its' forehead. Just in case, though, it was removed in the international release, and the entire sticker was revised in all versions starting with ''2''.
145	* PutOnABus: Kimijima doesn't show up in ''3'', with his spot in the Thirteen Devils taken by Crimson Devil, most likely due to licensing issues with Honda. [[TheBusCameBack He returns starting with]] ''[[TheBusCameBack Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix]]'', [[TheBusCameBack and returns properly in]] ''[[TheBusCameBack Drift 2]]''.
146	* TalentedButTrained: The most skilled of the Four Devas, and one of the most skilled of the Thirteen Devils upon joining them, Yohei started to constantly train to better his abilities following his first defeat. By the time of ''Drift 2'', he's been at this for atleast a decade, and it shows: whereas he can easily control his car on the tight mountain passes of Japan, most players to whom he will loan it to will lose control of it as soon as possible.
147	* TookALevelInBadass: He held the record for the fastest lap of the C1 Loop and was one of Tokyo's fastest in the first game. After his defeat, he doubled down his efforts and massively improved his already-great ability, to the point he ''halved'' his laptime.
148	* WithFriendsLikeThese: The other members of the Thirteen Devils cannot get along with him due to his personality and insistence on [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers always striving to be at the very top, no matter what]]. The feeling is reciprocated, due to the other Devils' zany personalities, but he does hold respect for Jintei.

157	-->''Whirlwind.''
158	The first of the Four Devils that the player will face after defeating the Devas, '''"Crimson Devil" Raito Miyakawa''' is a famous name in the world of street racing. Known for his stoicism in the face of just about anything, his absurd skill (to the point of rumors claiming him to be possessed) and, above all, his extremely eccentric bodykits, Miyakawa has been racing for as long as people seem to be able to remember.
159	----
160	* BattleAura: When battling against the player in ''3'', his car will emanate a faint, red glow.
161	* DubNameChange:
162	** Crave's translation changes his real name to "Skip Gibson" in ''2'' and "Kazuo Tanaka" in ''Zero''.
163	** Moreso, his street name is "Crimson Devil" in all games in Japanese. In the Crave translation, it becomes "Raven Blood" in the first game, "Red Devil" in ''2'' and ''Zero'', ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]'' Red Devil in ''3'', Red Demon in ''Street Supremacy'', and ''finally'' "Crimson Devil" in ''Import Tuner Challenge''.
164	* LightningBruiser: At a whopping ''1190 HP'' [[note]]That is as powerful as a ''[[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne Formula 1]]'' ''car''[[/note]], and combined with its' size and electronic traction system, Raito's [=R34=] GT-R can blow anything away through raw power, being capable of breaking the 250 MPH barrier.
165	* RiceBurner: His Skyline [=R34=], and, later, Subaru Impreza, looks well beyond ridiculous, thanks to its' many Gundam-inspired body kits. And yet, in spite of appearances, Raito's car has been amongst the fastest in Japan for ''years'', and remains amongst them to this very day.
166	* ShoutOut: His street name, unique sticker, and starting with ''Zero'' his R34's body kits, are all massive Gundam references, in particular to Char Aznable.
167	* TheStoic: His signature characteristic is how little he emotes or reacts to anything. Even when going over 250 MPH, Raito does nothing to show it, which only creeps out some of his fellow racers.
168	* StrongAndSkilled: Raito's driving style has been described at various points as "superhuman", with many believing him to have to be possessed in order to pull certain stunts off. Justified, as only great drivers would be capable of keeping cars such as his under control to begin with, and it'd take extraordinary ones to extract their full potential.

176	-->''Super beauty.''
177	Rumors tell of a racer who only appears on full moon nights, for every other night of the months, she is "someone else". A completely different person, with a completely different personality.
178	\
179	In reality, who they're truly talking about is '''"Exhaust Eve" Chinatsu Moriyama''', second member of the Four Devils that the player will face. Described as a "gorgeous woman", Moriyama tends to be a rather quiet, reserved office worker, but when she gets behind the wheel, she becomes unrecognizable, to the point people believe she has a split personality.
180	----
181	* AdaptationalJobChange: In games up to ''Zero'', she was an unassuming office worker, whereas in ''Street Supremacy'', she suddenly became a make-up artist. By the time of ''Import Tuner Challenge'', instead, she's gone back to university, passed the bar exam, and became a lawyer.
182	* BrokenAce: A studious and intelligent woman since her childhood, and a tremendous talent behind the wheel, Eve has always been undercut by her own stubborness, which caused her to carry on in spite of consequences. Moreso, after a string of really bad dates and relationships, she suffers from infrequent panic attacks when left alone with men, crippling her social ability.
183	* DubNameChange:
184	** Crave's translation changes her real name to "Missi White" in ''2'' and "Shelly Chen" in ''Zero''.
185	** Moreso, her street name is "Exhaust Eve" across all entries where she appears, barring [[TheBusCameBack her return]] in ''Import Tuner Challenge'' where, as part of [[Characters/ImportTunerChallengeTeams Be Legend]], she goes by the street name "Erratic Jeanne d'Arc". Crave's translations keep "Exhaust Eve" as her street name in the first game, only to inexplicably change it to "Full Moon Eve" in ''2'' as a reference to her bio in that game, "Exotic Eve" in ''Zero'', and back to "Exhaust Eve" for ''Street Supremacy''... and then, in ''Import Tuner Challenge'', she's renamed "High Maintenance".
186	%% * {{Foil}}: Serves as one to "Gloomy Angel" Setsuko Kuroe of the Thirteen Devils. Both are infamous for their peculiar, two-faced personalities, both have deep-rooted issues in their personal lives that tend to spill over in highway racing, and both drive Japanese sports coupés. However, whereas Setsuko tends to be... well, ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin gloomy]]'' by default, only to become more passionate, aggressive, yet self-controlling when behind the wheel, Chinatsu appears as more introverted and unassuming, only to go completely off the cuff when battling. Setsuko would like to find a man for herself, but doesn't actively go out of her way to find him; Chinatsu openly craves the attention others give her, even if it causes entire teams to implode over in-fighting and looking down on those who openly flatter her. Lastly, Chinatsu used to belong to the Four Devils, and by the time of ''Import Tuner Challenge'' is far from her prime. Setsuko, meanwhile, belongs to the Thirteen Devils, which replaced the former team, and [[spoiler:By the time of ''Import Tuner Challenge'' returns to Tokyo ''far'' faster than she's ever been, still improving after decades.]]
187	* SplitPersonality: It was either vaguely implied or outright confirmed by her bio in the first three games that "Eve" was a second personality of hers that emerged under the full moon. Every game afterwards dropped this aspect of hers completely.

195	-->''Misapprehension is attached to life.''
196	The idea of "undefeated" was always fascinating to many: being so good, so exceptional at something, that one could beat any challenger that came forwards.
197	\
198	For ten long years, '''"Z.E.R.O." Miyabi Matsumoto''' embodied the concept of "undefeated" on the Tokyo Expressway. Taking on opponent after opponent, night after night, year after year, Z.E.R.O. went undefeated for an entire decade, making him and his 911 symbols of street racing. There was no one faster than him... well, no one, except one person.
199	----
200	* AbsurdlyLongWait: The requirements to face Z.E.R.O in ''2'' and ''Zero'' are this. Whereas other Wanderers require a minimum amount of days to pass before they'll appear, which will arrive naturally as you play through the games, Z.E.R.O. will only bother to pop up on the Southbound direction of the Wangan ''after Day 365''. In the vast majority of cases, the player will not naturally reach that in-game date, possibly wrapping up every other opponent well beforehand.
201	* BrokenWinLossStreak: If his bio in ''2'' is to be believed, Miyabi racked up over a thousand highway races over a ten-year period[[note]]Basic maths puts that at an average of a hundred races per year[[/note]], and he never lost until the events of the first game.
202	* DegradedBoss:
203	** From FinalBoss of the first game, to mere Wanderer come ''2'' and all subsequent games. That does not mean he lost any of his skill or speed; if anything, he is as fast the [[FinalBoss Final Bosses]], [[Characters/TokyoXtremeRacer2AndZeroBosses Jintei and White Charisma]].
204	** ''Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3'' takes it to laughable extremes, as he switches out his 911 for a Corolla [=AE82=], a far cry from the race-capable sports car. His bio in the game justifies it, as he wrecked his 911 and asked a friend to loan him the [=AE82=] to keep racing in any way possible.
205	* DubNameChange: Crave's translation changes his real name to "Jeff Davis" in ''2'' and "Tristan Li" in ''Zero''. Unlike every other opponent in the games, his street name consistently remains the same, albeit spelled simply as "ZERO" or "Zero".
206	* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Z.E.R.O. used to be one of the greatest drivers in Tokyo, if not Japan at large, and would've been ''the'' greatest driver if it wasn't for a certain deep blue Fairlady Z. He didn't lose a race out of a thousand, for ten years. All it took was a few losses against truly exceptional racers for Z.E.R.O.'s star to catastrophically plummet... not that he minds. By the time of ''3'', he's reduced himself to driving a barely tuned commuter car to continue racing, cementing his fall. Meta-wise, that also ends up being his final appearance.
207	* MeaningfulName: Z.E.R.O., per his bio in ''Zero'', apparently stands for "zero losses", as in he never lost a ''single'' race upon taking up that mantle. Has since become an ArtifactName after the events of the first game.
208	* NumberTwo: Appears to be this to UNKNOWN during their shared time within the Four Devils.

216	-->''......''
217	That is not a typo in the folder's name. There is virtually ''nothing'' known about '''UNKNOWN''', to the point that they don't even have a street name. Some say they are the ghost of a driver who perished decades ago in a crash, still haunting the Tokyo Expressway; others go further beyond, claiming them to be a demon from Hell itself.
218	\
219	All that's truly known about them is that they drive a deep blue Nissan 240Z [=S30=], capable of going at impossible speeds and moving in ways that seem to defy physics themselves, and that they only appear to challenge those he deems the very strongest of the Metropolitan Expressway. They briefly led Tokyo's strongest team, the Four Devils, before going solo after their first defeat and disbandment.
220	----
221	* DemotedToExtra: In ''Street Supremacy'', they appear as a late-game Wanderer rather than the TrueFinalBoss. Justified, in that apparently, the original UNKNOWN has retired, having let his apprentice take up the mantle.
222	* LegacyCharacter: ''Street Supremacy'' implies it, as UNKNOWN's bio mentions that the original driver of the [=S30Z=] retired, having passed their car down to an apprentice. Should that be the case, the original UNKNOWN might ''also'' be a LegacyCharacter themselves, with the car passed down from generation to generation.
223	* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: His street name and real names are either three questions mark or "UNKNOWN", depending on the game and localization. It isn't an active choice on their part, they're just that mysterious.
224	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: According to his more recent bios, the very few who know of his existence refer to him as "The Demon of the Metro" or "The Ghost of a Legendary Racer".
225	* ShroudedInMyth: The fastest racer in Tokyo, and possibly all of Japan, and yet, nobody knows a single thing about them. Due to only challenging the very best of Tokyo, very few know he truly exists and isn't some urban legend, and those who do know tend to remain quiet on the subject matter.
226	* SkeletonMotif: His unique sticker features an horned skull placed in the middle of a pentagram.
227	* TheVoiceless: In their sole, in-the-flesh appearance in the non-canon ''Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix'', they don't utter a single word: their dialogue, before and after being defeated, consists exclusively of elipses.
228	* TrueFinalBoss: Of all mainline ''Tokyo Xtreme Racer'' titles, barring ''3''.
