Future GPX Cyber Formula/Characters

This is the character sheet for the racing anime series Future GPX Cyber Formula.

Interestingly enough, Cyber Formula is one of the very few Sunrise works to seldom change the major cast as the series progresses while adding new characters into the mix (other than switching the main character role between Hayato Kazami and Bleed Kaga in the last OVA, Sin).

As always with Character pages, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! You have been warned.

Tropes associated with most racers in the series:

 * Badass Drivers
 * Bishonen: Especially in the later series.
 * Calling Your Attacks: They call out their car commands.
 * Cool Car: Their cars are equipped with AI supercomputers.
 * Cool Helmet
 * Demoted to Extra: Other than Hayato and Kaga, most of the racers suffered from this in the last 2 OVAs (especially in SIN) and the SAGA drama CDs, with Randoll and Johji being the worst cases (although in Johji's case, he is still playable in later video games).
 * Last Name Basis: Most of the racers are rarely called by their first names.

Hayato was introduced to the world of Cyber Formula when by accident he became the registered driver of the Cyber Formula car Asurada, designed by his father while he recovered it from the hands of mercenaries. The Cyber System registers a unique user for the vehicle at the time of activation and the it would take a week to reformat the vehicle for another driver. This was not an option as the race was to be held much sooner. This forces the Sugo team to go with Hayato as the driver for the license race over the team's driver at the time, Akira Hiyoshi. After earning his license to compete in the Cyber Grand Prix, Hayato becomes the youngest driver to ever compete in the Grand Prix, at the time.

He finished fourth in that race and retired from Cyber Formula after the end of the 2016 season.

Osamu becomes an owner of Sugo Corp, and took over the manager role in the 2017 season. In SAGA, he underwent another operation, this time to correct the eye problem he has since Double-One, although it was not sufficient for him returning in races, he would still essential in the test driver role.

Miki's eager and willing assistant, he gets very emotional whenever something happens to Asurada. He is high-strung, and although shorter than Hayato, is technically older. Ryohei can sometimes make more trouble than help. He previously wanted to be a racer, but his blood is of a special type and is hard to get enough to do transfusion in case of emergency, so he ended up being a mechanic.

At the end of ZERO, he is promoted to chief mechanic after Miki leaves for Aoi ZIP.

Tropes associated with Ryohei:
 * AB Negative: Although it is not explained in-series, it is heavily implied that he has this, due to him having a special kind of blood type and played a plot point in one episode of the TV series. It is also this very kind of blood type that made him give up auto racing due to safety reasons.

 * In Series Nickname: Pei.

Naoki Shinjyo is a highly successful two-time European F3 Champion before making the switch to Cyber Formula racing after being scouted by Aoi Formula boss, Kyoko Aoi. After passing the Japanese qualifying rounds, he makes his debut in America during the 2015 season with high hopes for both him and his team. In the beginning of the series, he is positioned to be Hayato's biggest rival, but as the series progresses, it's been shown that he is his own worst enemy and has a moody streak that comes up on some occasions.

In SAGA, he is kicked out by Nagumo after a sub-par performance in the test drive, but he returned later as a driver for Union Savior before going back to Aoi in 2023.

He is in a long-term relationship with Miki Jounouchi, who keeps him in line for most of the time.

Being the 7th and 9th Grand Prix winner, Lope was a favorite in the 10th Cyber Formula Grand Prix. He finished 2nd and 1st place in the first 2 rounds, making him as the title favorite especially after Knight Schumacher retired from the series in race 4. However, his advantages disappeared due to the fast pace of the car developments by Sugo, Aoi and Union Savior. Even if he still had a slim chance being the World Champion (by winning the race and neither point leaders Randoll, Shinjyo and Hayato finished with points) in the Japan race, his car crashed out in the final 25% of race while battling 3rd place with Kaga, ending his hopes of being a defending Champion. He retired as a racer after that race.

He assisted Akira Hiyoshi, who leaves the Sugo team to get the Super License and racing with Hayato. After his retirement as a driver, he invited Hiyoshi to his team, replacing himself as a driver.

Akira Hiyoshi is a secondary character of the Future GPX Cyber Formula series. Hiyoshi was first introduced as a driver of Sugo Asurada, and originally intended to be a driver of Asurada GSX right before the Fujioka race in 2015. However, as Hayato Kazami was registered as the exclusive driver of Asurada and his participation in the Grand Prix becoming impossible, Hiyoshi leaves his racing team in a rage. During his stay in Brazil (working as a coffee plantation worker), Hiyoshi learns that Hayato obtained the Super License to join the World Grand Prix, and is disheartened. His life, however, was able to return to the track, thanks to the advices and encouragements of Pitalia Lope. Hiyoshi naturalizes himself as a Brazilian and joins KOH-I-NOOR Formula to begin his challenge to the Super License, with Lope as his mentor. He successfully received the license and made his first debut in the World Grand held in Brazil in 2015, where he ranked 2nd place. After the race, Hiyoshi gave his thanks to Hayato for the motivation.

Hiyoshi continued his career in the World Grand Prix since 2015, however, the notable performances in his career besides his debut race are yet to be found.

Appears only in the TV series and 11 (and opening sequence in Zero). Before his participation of the Cyber Formula Championship, he already set the most winning records in the JCM Off-Road Championship. In the 2015 Japan Grand Prix, held in his homeland of Hokkaido, he corrected the weather forecast (which cannot be predicted by Cyber Systems) which helped him to advance to the World Grand Prix in his 3rd year of Cyber Formula. He took the full advantage of the predicted rain and finished the race only behind Naoki Shinjyo. He also hinted at Hayato for that information which also made him promote to World Grand Prix by finishing behind him.

Although he showed good abilities in off-road racing because of his rallying background and scored some points, he was unable to deal with the huge amount of data from the Cyber System, but relied on his own. While the rallying events was abolished in the 2016 season, he returned to Rally racing after 2016.

The computer navigation system created by Hiroyuki Kazami, Hayato's father, is the most advanced system in the world of Cyber Formula, said to be able to analyze emotions and continue to evolve. It was designed as an opposite to the Ogre Cyber System developed in 2019.

Once Asurada was finished, Smith from Missing Link, where Hiroyuki Kazami was working in, had tried to obtain this system to create weapons of mass destruction. But Hayato Kazami has registered himself as the only driver of Asurada in order to flee the system from Smith's men. However, as it has a unique security feature, Asurada only responses to the first person contacting with it and no additional driver can be added. And Hayato has to replace Akira Hiyoshi as the driver of Sugo to participate in the Fujioka preliminaries.

The system's biggest drawback is its unique security feature. Although additional persons can be added in communication purposes, driving orders must be taken by the driver himself and cannot be changed. Akira Hiyoshi, the original driver of Asurada GSX, could not drive the car and leaves the team afterwords. And when Hayato suffered an serious accident in the 2017 season, the Sugo team cannot find any driver to replace with, and directly leads to the development of non-Asurada operated Garland SF-01.

On many occasions, Asurada has been abandoned by Hayato, but every time they meet again, Asurada forgives him and swears that they'll forever be partners.

Asurada is still proved superior even if it has been used for 7 years. In the 2021 and 2022 seasons its chassis, v-Asurada AKF-0 would still get overall first and second places, respectively.

Tropes associated with Asurada:
 * Cool Car: Or rather, "Cool AI System For A Car".
 * My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: In one episode of the TV series, when Hayato was in the midst of a love triangle involving Asuka, Randoll and him, Asurada asks him what a kiss is and detects his heart rate.
