Pilots Takeshi Jin ( in the Japanese version)

Position: Forward Nationality: American Age: 15 years old Gender: Male Height: 169 cm Weight: 56 kg Team Satomi's forward, Takeshi is a gifted pilot who frequently defeats Liz Ricarro when his talent gets to his head. Takeshi seems to take nothing seriously, but he has strong determination when racing and is a practitioner of kendo. He has an affinity for hot dogs and video games, particularly Watch World, where his dog-like character is named Katana. Though a skilled pilot, Takeshi has an emotional breakdown from a blow to his ego. Unlike his teammates, he seems to have a normal family life, along with a younger sister named Yuri, who loves him dearly and is his self-proclaimed biggest fan and supporter despite loving to tease him and barge in on him without asking. Takeshi also admires his idol, a famous IGPX pilot known as Rocket G, or simply "The Rocket", as a source of inspiration, who is later revealed to be Team Satomi's coach Andrei Rublev. Takeshi was an item with Fantine Valjean and met her when playing Watch World; however, in season 2, they broke up, as Fantine realized that Takeshi and Liz have feelings for each other and thought of Takeshi as a friendly rival rather than a boyfriend. He also matures throughout the series, and in the final episode he and Liz admit their feelings for each other.

Position: Defender Nationality: American Age: 16 years old Gender: Female Height: 172 cm Weight: 50 kg Team Satomi's defender, a loud, busty, and hot-tempered tomboyish orphan whose only family is her teammates and coaches; her dedication to IGPX comes from it being something she fit in with. It is revealed in episode 6, "Cat vs. Dog", that Liz dislikes animals, especially dogs. She is an avid martial artist, always practicing Kung Fu (Capoeira in the microseries) and quoting Confucius. Takeshi's contrasting attitude and antics on and off the track annoy her, but it is because she feels he is not being 'honest' with her about his feelings. At the end of the series, they finally admit their feelings for each other. It is revealed that she is an orphan, and she goes into modeling to use the money to save her orphanage.

Position: Midfielder Nationality: American Age: 16 years old Gender: Female Height: 166 cm Weight: 43 kg A child prodigy, Amy is Team Satomi's midfielder and battle tactician. She, being the physically weakest of the team, synchronizes with her cybernetically enhanced calico cat, (Vanilla Yamazaki, Kari Wahlgren), to form a composite personality during IGPX Races. Quiet and sympathetic, Amy will often patch up conflicts between other team members, but her sweetness belies her considerable combat abilities. In season 2, Amy is injured in Satomi's race against White Snow and Andrei replaces her for both Velshtein vs Satomi and Skylark vs. Satomi matches. Throughout the series, only Amy could hear Luca's 'voice' during races; however, at the beginning of Satomi's first race of the 2051 racing season, it is revealed that all members of Team Satomi are now able to hear his voice. In episode 4, "The Ghost", it is revealed that Amy dearly misses her parents, who are always out on business.

Other team members

Position: Team supervision and owner Nationality: American Age: 25 years old Gender: Female Michiru Satomi is the granddaughter of the late founding chairman and CEO of Satomi Heavy Industries. Her family allows her to manage Team Satomi in hopes that she can turn the failing franchise into a success story. Though young, she is a hard worker and knows that she has a special team, including a one-in-a-million pilot like Takeshi.

Position: Coach / Substitute Pilot (Midfielder) Nationality: American Age: 45 years old Gender: Male The coach of Team Satomi. Andrei practices an almost "zen" coaching style, in which he appears to be doing very little and motivates the team primarily with cryptic comments and instructions. The other team members do not know about Andrei's past prior to his joining Team Satomi, apparently as a result of Andrei's contracts with unknown persons. However, a promise that Andrei makes to Takeshi suggests that he could have connections with or be Rocket G. It was later revealed that he is the Rocket and used to race with Sir Hamgra of Team Velshtein. He substitutes for Amy after she is injured during Satomi's race against White Snow, and plays Midfielder during their matches against Velshtein and Skylark. Despite being out of practice, he surprises people by managing to hold his own during the races. It is noted, however, that despite his pacifistic coaching style, he is not above using 'questionable' tactics on the field; he intentionally spins out his mech and crashes into and destroys two of Velshtein's mechs during the speed round of their race to ensure that Satomi does not lose. He has a wife and a daughter, but they left him; however, due to his more positive lifestyle gained from coaching Team Satomi, they have returned and are living together once more.

Mark Ramsey ( in the Japanese version)

Position: Mechanic Nationality: American Age: 26 years old Gender: Male One of the best IGPX mechanics in the game, who is in it for the love of his craft and may care more about his machines than the team's pilots. In Season 2, he was the first to recognize Max due to reading an article about her hacking into government servers until she was threatened with arrest. He is actually the heir to the Ramsey corp, the world's largest investment banking group, though he keeps it a closely guarded secret. Jesse Martin ( in the Japanese version)

Position: Assistant Age: 19 years old Nationality: American Gender: Female Satomi's assistant. She is always the one to cheer up her fellow members of Team Satomi when they are depressed. When Satomi considered dropping out of the race between Team Satomi and Team Velshtein after Amy got sent to the hospital following the White Snow race, Jesse convinced her otherwise, inspiring Andrei to temporarily replace Amy as Midfielder.

Team Black Egg A team from Argentina that has a very distinct racing style: They place emphasis on defense rather than offense, preferring agility, smokescreens, and similar tactics to avoid attacks and concentrate on racing. Since the IGPX is descended from a battle sport, this strategy completely bowls over most teams. They placed sixth in Season 1, but finishing last place in Season 1 led to their demotion to the IG-2. Their place in the IG-1 is filled by a team promoted from the IG-2, Team White Snow. Their mechs are equipped with hologram projectors and smokescreens, which scramble enemy opponents when their mechs are in the smoke.

Position: Forward Nationality: Argentine Age: 25 Gender: Male Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Ricardo Montazio is the forward and leader of Team Black Egg. He believes in defense rather than offense so that his team can win the race. Ricardo is honest, optimistic, and hardworking, and a good sport about losing.

Position: Midfielder Nationality: Argentine Age: 20 Gender: Male Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Grant McKain is the midfielder for Team Black Egg. Not much is known about him other than the fact that he does not always seem to cooperate very well.

Position: Defender Nationality Argentine

Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Glass Jones is the defender for Team Black Egg and a girl-getter. He would rather hang out with females than take the race seriously. Glass underestimates the opponents, including Team Satomi.

Team Edgeraid A team from Switzerland based on teamwork. Edgeraid mechs are equipped with arms that shoot out thin, nearly invisible wires, which they use to manipulate their opponents and throw each other around the track. Edgeraid's speciality is the Edge Monsoon.

Position: Forward Nationality: Switz Age: 22 Gender: Male Height: 168 cm Weight: 58 kg Bjorn Johannsen is the forward and leader of Team Edgeraid. He takes pride in teamwork, which is what got his team far. Bjorn is not arrogant, but tends to think he knows what he is doing. He is the only other pilot aside from Amy to have an animal copilot in the dog (Yūko Tachibana, Wendee Lee), who, like Luca, has her own commercial for dog food.

Position: Midfielder Nationality: Switz Age: 21 Gender: Female Height: 155 cm Weight: 42 kg Bella Demarco is the midfielder for Team Edgeraid with an affinity for piercings. She comes up with good formations for her team to win. Bella seems to have romantic feelings towards rival pilot Takeshi Jin.

Position: Defender Nationality: Switz Age: 23 Gender: Male Height: 175 cm Weight: 65 kg Frank Bullit is the defender for Team Edgeraid. He likes to keep his opponents guessing and is sometimes off guard. He is always there for teamwork.

Team Skylark An all-female team from France. Team Skylark's machines are designed to maximize drafting techniques. The Skylark mechs are more of the aggressive melee type, where team members Elisa Doolittle and Jessica Darlin help protect team forward Fantine Valjean and use their special attack to take the lead after expending minimal energy for most of the race. Their mechs do not possess any kind of special weaponry or equipment except for extremely fast-moving arms, so the pilots focus mainly on their combat prowess. Their drafting techniques may also be out of necessity for their mech's safe handling, since Fantine's mech overheated during their first match with Team Satomi after trading blows with Takeshi for an extended period of time.

Position: Forward Nationality: French Age: 17 Gender: Female Height: 169 cm Weight: 49 kg Fantine is the forward and leader of Team Skylark. She is all about speed in the races and is unpredictable. She is considered the "princess" of her team and she seems to be attracted to Takeshi, who also plays Watch World. Takeshi and Fantine were in a relationship starting in Episode 7 and ending in Episode 19, when they broke up before the Satomi-Skylark race.

Position: Midfielder Nationality: French Age: 19 Gender: Female Height: 187 cm Weight: 64 kg Jessica is the midfielder for Team Skylark and is very close to Fantine and respects what she wants. She also takes advice from Elissa during races and stops opponents alongside her.

Position: Defender Age: 23 Gender: Female Nationality: French Height: 185 cm Weight: 60 kg Elissa is the defender for Team Skylark and the oldest member. She makes a lot of decisions and gives guidance to Jessica. She also likes to watch as much as she competes.
