The topic From Hydro Drift Ninjas to Sonic Napoleons: I spent far too long definitively\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Hmm. On the one hand, a Turbulent Thursday. On the other, a Big Mum. We\u2019ve all had Thursdays we could describe as turbulent, so the owner of the 2014 Nissan Fairlady Z who drives with the Neo Limited crew scores a point for relatability. That said, the large mother of the Family Business gang, who as fate would have it also drives a Fairlady Z, scores points for being straightforwardly funky. Both racers\u2019 names are hilarious to me, but in the list of top ten opponent monikers from Tokyo Xtreme Racer, there simply isn\u2019t room for both of them.<\/p>\n

I defeated both these rivals during my quest to become the fastest and most feared nocturnal driver on the Shuto Expressway. Every race in Tokyo Xtreme Racer is pitched as a head-to-head battle on the winding highways that snake above and around the city. Your rivals are all petrolheads in highly modified Japanese rides who\u2019ve become addicted to the rush of trying to out-drag each other in these tense standoffs. They\u2019ve all chosen to go by nicknames instead of using their government names, the things their friends would call them if you ran into them on the street during the daytime. Here, on the moonlit expressway, they\u2019re Batmen with bucket seats and backfiring exhausts. Anonymous auto-enthusiasts arcing about after hours.<\/p>\n

Sorry, Turbulent Thursday. When it comes to a name with quirky vibes, Big Mum clinches it. You\u2019ll live, though. You\u2019ve clearly dealt with tough days before. Right, that narrows the list down to a final ten.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s got one. Not everyone\u2019s might be big, but the driver of this Fairlady Z arguably has to be. After all, Greatest Papa, Innocent Lady, Perfect Darling, Quick Kid, and Godfather fill out the ranks of her Mafia-styled racing gang, Family Business. Her bio says driving with them has reinvigorated what had become a loveless family life for her, and she’s even starting to make “mom friends\u201d out on the expressway. The mean streets of Tokyo need a motherly influence, and I\u2019ve personally felt reassured by the fact that somewhere out there, accelerating through the night, is someone who knows how to live, laugh, and love.<\/p>\n

The person behind the wheel of this 90s Honda Civic is \u201can extremely kind-hearted man who has loved cute things since his childhood, chief amongst them baby chicks\u201d. He works with these smaller birds as “sexer”, separating the males from females at birth. Funky job. His description continues that he \u201ccarries the act out with utmost diligence despite wondering why they have to be separated, something that causes him no small amount of stress\u201d. Ah, so that\u2019s why he\u2019s just slammed into my rear quarter, the man has some feelings he\u2019s working through. At least he\u2019s gentle when looking at avian genitalia.<\/p>\n

This Supra driver\u2019s a tough foe, though that\u2019s not surprising given you\u2019ve got to beat 380 other racers to be able to challenge him at the famous Daikoku parking area. He hangs around with another racer dubbed Yokohama Cutie and he’s a pro racing driver for his day job. Before pulling this list together, I was going to make some jokes here about whether he\u2019s only handsome by the standards of Kawagoe, the Japanese city he draws his name from. Is a Kawagoe 10 a Tokyo 6? Yuk, yuk, yuk. However, upon googling his name, I\u2019ve found two separate sources asserting that he\u2019s based on real life Japanese racing driver Sho Tsuboi, who was born in Kawagoe and races a GT500 Supra in the Super GT series. Shit, I should probably have put him top.<\/p>\n

There are some Tokyo Xtreme Racer names that dial the evocative or poetic imagery up to 100. This Mitsubishi Evo driver\u2019s one of them. You see the name, and you immediately think of an artist committing the idea to canvas, brushstrokes doing their best to capture the nocturnal beauty. Naturally, Sky-Sailing Night Butterfly matches this image by being a pharmacist in a bright pink car who suffers from some sort of road rage-based amnesia, allowing her to drive very aggressively and then go back to gently giving out prescriptions.<\/p>\n

Phwoar. No doubt some mysterious temptress steeped in exotic desires, right? Nope, a middle-aged banker in a Subaru Impreza who shares a team – Akihara Speed Factory – with racers called Dozing Dormouse and Dancing Rabbit. according to the data his description, back when he was at university, his \u201cself-centered personality received mixed reviews, described as \u2018disgusting\u2019 and \u2018manly\u2019\u201d, but he\u2019s since \u201cbecome somewhat more considerate of those around him\u201d. There\u2019s nothing more erotic than a dude becoming less of a bellend over time.<\/p>\n

Right, now number fi-wait, what are you doing here, wanderer in an orange 90s Evo? Ah, I see. Comedic Disruptor. Go on, tell your joke then. No, I don\u2019t know what you call a home appliance shop owner who frequently argues with his wife about not being able to haul fridges around in the boot of his motor. Oh, right. You call him Comedic Disruptor. I should have seen that one coming.<\/p>\n

Is he gone? Thank Christ. I can finally sit down and eat my dinner. Big thanks to the driver of the white Nissan Z with purple underglow neon for inviting me to the French restaurant La Libert\u00e9. Oh, he owns the joint, and the rest of the members of his racing crew – The Knife and Forks – are his staff. Apparently they\u2019re \u201cstrict about table manners as well as driving manners\u201d, so I\u2019m going to stop slurping this soup quite so loudly. Yes, Mr Full Course, it\u2019s scrumptious. Tell me more about your new car \u201csteadily being tuned in both the chassis and body, offering a full course of not just culinary, but automotive excellence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ooh, I\u2019m suddenly feeling a bit under the weather. That guy over there in the Nissan GT-R covered in palm trees is a surgeon? Well, it\u2019s a bit different to a doctor, but I suppose I can ask him what he thinks it might be. Hi ther-ok, I can wait while you recite your oath. My stomach\u2019s feeling a bit weird. No, I haven\u2019t heard of the theory of the four humours. I doubt I have too much black bile. You know, I think you should consider picking up a medical textbook that isn\u2019t from Ancient Greece. This also might be why you\u2019re the leader of a team composed entirely of single people looking to find partners out on the expressway.<\/p>\n

Freelancers are the backbone of many a functioning industry. Skilled craftspeople you can parachute to a problem without offering them pesky benefits or pensions. There\u2019s nothing at all humiliating about that, Humiliation Contractor. Especially if, for example, you\u2019re someone who\u2019s ended up a perma-freelancer against your will because there are barely any decent full-time gigs out there at the present moment. Driving a black Silvia, this plucky contractor used to do part-time work, but he\u2019s now a hospital chef who works shifts. Life just loves slapping him in the face. He tries \u201csuspicious parts\u201d others would avoid, but it rarely pays off. He\u2019s got a \u201cstrange habit of being overwhelmingly fast on right turns but slow on left turns\u201d. You are all of us regular Joes just trying to get by, Mr Silvia driver. Keep on swinging and I hope more regular good fortune and well-paid gigs come your way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not quite sure what makes this lawyer in a Toyota Supra whimsical. Maybe the fact she\u2019s willing to be part of a racing crew with a director who goes by Sonic Napoleon and a rancher who goes by Advancing Genghis Khan. \u201cAt first glance, she appears to be a stern elite woman, seemingly unrelated to the racing world, but she has a dual personality,\u201d her description attests. \u201cWhen her other persona, \u2018Eve\u2019, awakens, her racing spirit ignites.\u201d Right, well. If her other persona was called Joan, I might be less confused.<\/p>\n

I should have known. Despite this Skyline driver\u2019s logo being an anime girl in a maid outfit, they\u2019re a middle-aged computer system engineer who\u2019s into video games. \u201cHe believed the mistaken equation he heard at an Akihabara maid cafe that \u2018a cool guy equals a cool car\u2019 and bought a BNR34. Eventually, he started to seek \u2018speed\u2019 and formed a team. He was once so depressed that he was on the verge of retiring upon discovering that Heretic Canopus, whom he had a crush on, was actually a man, but they surprisingly hit it off and became close friends, discussing their shared interest in cosplay.\u201d When I first saw his name, I exclaimed \u2018My Lord, that\u2019s one for the books\u2019. Having read that description, My Lord Tokyo Xtreme devs Genki can write some funny gags about Otakus.<\/p>\n

Right, time to end my expressway run for the night. I\u2019ve only scratched the surface of the wonderfully weird names Tokyo Xtreme Racer has to offer, but unfortunately for the likes of Cinderella Past Midnight, Rising Seaman, and Senna\u2019s Feet Ginji, I\u2019ve not got time to battle them in this feature. Rest assured that they\u2019ll all see my taillights eventually, though.<\/p>\n
