- "The RX-7 is the only car I worship."
- ―Masaki
Masaki, 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.
