Position: Mechanic Nationality: Japanese Age: 26 years old Gender: Male Masa (Mark Ramsey in the dub) is one of the best IGPX mechanics in the game, and he's in it for the love of his craft. He's actually the heir to the Hiratake Conglomerate, the world's largest investment banking group, though he keeps it a closely guarded secret. Masa may care more about his beautiful machines than the team's pilots.
Position: Forward Nationality: Japanese Age: 15 years old Gender: Male Height: 169cm Weight: 56kg Team: Satomi As 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 his determination is strong when racing and he is also 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. Although Takeshi is a skilled pilot, he has an emotional breakdown from a blow to his ego. He, unlike his teammates, seems to have a normal family life, along with a younger sister named Yuri, who loves teasing her brother, and barging in on him without asking, though it is obvious that she loves her big brother dearly and she claims to be his biggest fan and supporter. Takeshi also looks to his idol, a famous IGPX pilot known as Rocket G, or simply "The Rocket", as a source of inspiration. [spoiler]The Rocket is later revealed to be Team Satomi's coach Andrei Rublev. Takeshi was a couple with Fantine Valjean and met with her at times when playing Watch World, however, in season 2, they broke up. 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. (Wikipedia)
As the "voice of IGPX" announcer, Benjamin Bright (Tadashi Miyazawa, Tom Kenny) has become world famous for his color commentary on the sport. He slowly develops a grudging appreciation for the untested rookies of Team Satomi. Though only seen in person once (while introducing the teams in season 1), Bright can often be seen giving race commentary and IGPX news on the various public TV screens scattered around the city and on the trademark blimp that hovers above the track.
Bee is the little dog who Majin Buu finds and befriends along with Mr. Satan. Buu bonds with the puppy and is playing catch with him when two gangsters shoot the dog. Buu heals the puppy, but he's enraged by the event and even more so after they shoot at Mr. Satan, which causes him to flip and create Evil Buu. During the end of the Buu Saga, Mr. Satan and Bee travel around the area until they encounter Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks and Super Buu. Fans get to see a lighter, more caring side of Mr. Satan during this time, as he makes sure that Bee is safe while the Super Saiyan Vegetto clashes with Buu. Bee lives with Mr. Satan and Buu after the Buu Saga and is once being looked after by Bulma and Trunks in Wrath of the Dragon (presumably being lent to Trunks by Buu for a few days). He appears again, although very naturally aged, in the last 3 episodes of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. In the English manga, the dog is known as "Bay."
Position: Assistant Age: 19 years old Nationality: Japanese Gender: Female The peppy one, Himawari (Jesse Martin in the dub) is Miss Satomi's assistant. She's always the one to cheer up her fellow members of Team Satomi when they are depressed. Once, when Miss Satomi talked about dropping out of the race between Team Satomi and Team Velshtein after Amy got sent to the hospital in the White Snow race, Himawari was the one to convince her otherwise, inspiring Andrei to temporarily replace Amy as Midfielder.
Position: Team Satomi supervisior and owner Nationality: Japanese Age: 24 years old Gender: Female Satomi is the granddaughter of the chairman of Satomi Heavy Industries. Her family allows her to manage Team Satomi in the faint hope that she can turn this failing franchise into a success story. Satomi may be young, but she is a hard worker and knows she has a special team, including a one-in-a-million pilot like Takeshi.
Position: Midfielder Nationality: Irish Age: 14 years old Gender: Female Height: 166cm Weight: 43kg Team: Satomi 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, Luca (ルカ Ruka?) (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. Andrei replaces her for both Velshtein vs Satomi and Skylark vs. Satomi matches. Throughout the series only Amy could hear Luca's 'voice' while racing with him in her mech. However, at the end of the series, at the beginning of Satomi's first race of the 2051 racing season, it is revealed that now all members of Team Satomi can now hear his voice. In episode 4, "The Ghost", it is revealed that Amy dearly misses her parents, who are always out on business.
