Ikeda, Ryuuji
Summary
Ryuji Ikeda, known by the alias Zero, serves as the leader of Team Spiral. Hailing from a wealthy family that runs a temple, he benefits from the financial support of his father, the head priest, which allows him to sustain his racing career. As an experienced driver, Ikeda maintains a calm and level-headed demeanor, even during intense competition, often preparing for races by entering a zoned-out state. He adheres to his personal "Zero Theory," a concept he developed which posits that the driver and vehicle should merge into a single entity. Achieving this unity requires extensive tuning to align the car’s characteristics with those of the driver, thereby elevating their performance on the track.
