The 22-year-old leader of the NightKids, who calls Mt. Myogi his home course. He drives a red Honda Civic EG6. With light tuning and a stiffened suspension, he coaxes 150 horsepower out of his naturally aspirated engine. Known by the nickname "Dangerous Shingo," he doesn't hesitate to use risky tactics to win. Beyond just winning, he's the type of man who aims to make his opponent crash. He casually spews reckless insults that disregard human life, such as "I'll knock you into the bottom of the valley and send you straight to the scrapyard." He has mastered left-foot braking and is considered a high-level FF (front-engine, front-wheel-drive) specialist. He harbors a deep grudge against FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) cars, mocking them by saying, "FRs are pathetically unstable, aren't they?" However, given his frequent praise for Honda engines and lines like "Hey, if Honda made an FR, I'd switch over too," it's clear he's more of a Honda loyalist than a pure FF fanatic. Consequently, he becomes extremely irritable if someone praises FRs or looks down on Hondas in his presence.
