houjou rin

Rin Houjou, also known as "Shinigami," is the elder brother of Gou Houjou and a legendary driver from Kanagawa. Rin has had a longstanding rivalry with Ryousuke due to a girl named Kaori, who was engaged to Rin at the time. After Rin verbally abused her, claiming she would regret rejecting him as it would ruin her and her family, Kaori took her own life. This tragic event led Rin to withdraw from the racing scene and become a recluse, locking himself in his home for years. He made a surprising return to race unofficially against Ikeda, the leader of Team Spiral. Rin is an exceptionally skilled driver known for his dangerous driving style.
