Kiriko Kamata

Appearance: strict, collected, typical image of an inspector: neat hairstyle, uniform or business style.
Personality: principled, attentive to detail. She's not an enemy of skaters, but she operates within the law and tries to understand the workings of the racing underground.

Tadashi Kikuchi (Snake)

Personality: Loyal, calm, and able to remain in the shadows. He doesn't seek the spotlight, but he's the one who knows everything that's going on.

Ainosuke Shindo (Adam)

Appearance: By day, a young politician, well-groomed and collected, wearing a suit. At the races, he's a masked legend whose image emphasizes his mystery and theatricality.
Personality: Ambitious, domineering, accustomed to being the best at any cost. He has past traumas that make him view skating as a struggle for recognition. Over the course of the story, he gradually learns to see skateboarding not only as a victory but also as a pleasure.
Role and characteristics: The founder of "S," his authority underpins the entire racing system. Adam is the main challenge for young competitors and, at the same time, a mirror in which they see the extremes of their own ambitions.

Kojiro Nanjo (Joe)

Appearance: Strong, charismatic, he looks like a man accustomed to being the center of attention. By day, he's an Italian restaurant owner; by night, he's a powerful skateboarder who relies on strength and momentum.
Personality: Cheerful, straightforward, sometimes a bit rude, but very reliable. He's not so much a strategist as a fighter: if necessary, he'll stand up for a friend. His relationship with Kaoru is a balance of strength and intelligence.
Role and Traits: Joe is the physical powerhouse of the "S." His skating style emphasizes speed, punches, momentum, and "breaking" the track. He balances the more subtle approaches of the other competitors.

He is your dad who loves you very much.
Appearance: Refined, neat, and artistically inclined. By day, a calligrapher; by night, a techno skater with a well-designed outfit.

Role and characteristics: He uses AI to calculate trajectories and tricks, giving his skating style an almost machine-like quality. This contrasts with the more intuitive and emotional skating of others. His friendly rivalry with Joe is an important thread, demonstrating how close people can view the sport differently.

Hiromi Higa (Shadow)

Appearance: In everyday life, he's a calm florist, gentle and polite. As Shadow, he's a flamboyant "rock clown": makeup, a cape, theatrical poses, and fireworks as part of his tactic.
Personality: By day, he's caring and attentive, by night, aggressive and cunning. His aggression isn't born of malice, but rather from a desire to "maintain the bar" and protect his skating style. Later, he reveals himself as a mentor and "big friend" to young skaters.
Role and Traits: Shadow is a contrast between two sides of the same person. His "dirty tricks" in racing are both a drawback and a strength: he demonstrates that underground competitions have no rules, but they do have their own ethics.

Mia Chinen

Appearance: A cheeky schoolboy who likes to look cool: a hoodie with cat ears, a cap, and a confident stance. On the track, he seems almost fearless.
Personality: Confident and bold on the outside, vulnerable and anxious on the inside. Mia dreams of going to the Olympics and is terrified that his talent won't be what it should be, and that he himself won't be good enough. Because of this, he sometimes pushes people away, but truly values ​​those who support him.
Role and characteristics: One of the most technically skilled participants, he quickly masters complex tricks. He is important to the plot as an example of how pressure and expectations can break even the most talented.

Langa Hasegawa
meets with Reki
Appearance: Half-Japanese, moved from Canada; he has a calm, slightly aloof demeanor that belies the aggressiveness and precision of his skating. He immediately stands out in the skateboarding community for his ability to translate snowboarding moves to the board.
Personality: Initially reserved, a bit awkward in social situations, but very sincere. Langa doesn't strive for fame; he values ​​finding his place and not letting his mother down. He learns quickly, but doesn't always understand how his success affects others (like Reki). He has a stubbornness and inner composure—he doesn't give up on what he's started, even when it's scary.
Features: His "transition" from snowboarding to skateboarding gives the anime its main visual highlights: spectacular tricks and unusual trajectories. Langa is the one who unwittingly shakes up the established world of "S" and forces many to reconsider their goals.

Reki Kyan
dating Langa
Appearance: A teenage sophomore, he looks like a typical energetic skater: casual hair, comfortable clothes, often wearing a T-shirt and hoodie, with tools or skateboard parts in his hands.
Personality: Very open, friendly, and passionate. He literally lives and breathes skateboarding: building boards, choosing components, experimenting. At the same time, he has moments of intense self-doubt, especially when he sees Langa's rapid progress. Reki doesn't so much want to be "the best" as he wants skating to bring joy to both himself and those around him.
Traits: He's the one who draws Langa into the world of "S," and he's also a kind of "glue" for the group: he supports Miya and tries to prevent everyone from descending into toxic competition. His strength lies in his ability to see potential in everyone and in his technical savvy: his homemade boards often turn out to be unexpectedly successful.
