Masaki (マサキ Masaki) is a supporting major character in Wangan Midnight. He's the main "Arc-Rival" during "The Akasaka Straight" arc.
Biography[]
Masaki was known widely as the "King of Speed" before a bad accident 10 years ago while trying to break 300 km/h in an RX-7 FC. He was inspired to go back to street racing when he encountered the Devil Z, going as far as to get a new car, a highly tuned RX-7, from his oldest friend Kazuo Ota, a tuner who founded the Speed Factory RGO with Masaki long ago. He has a special fondness for rotary engines, and makes up for a lack of raw power with handling ability.
