Yusaku Kido

Yusaku Kido is a member of the Rolling Guys. Under the wing of Rolling Master, Kudo studied and practiced his driving in an effort to eventually battle him in the future.

Shutokō Battle 01
''"He recently joined the team. He met the previous leader, Tetsu Kobayakawa, here and even studied driving under him. Now that Tetsu had left the team, he pours his energies into daily training [sic]*." ''

Shutokō Battle
"This newbie was taken under the wing of Rolling Master, who expects great things from him. He practices everyday with the hopes of one day competing against Rolling Master, who is back on the scene after a hiatus from racing."

* Perhaps an error in translation, Shutokō Battle 01 's profile of Kido mentions Tetsu Kobayakawa, or the current leader of the Rolling Guys instead of Satoru Kobayakawa, the actual Rolling Master.

Kido is currently the youngest driver of the Rolling Guys. Nevertheless, his time training under Satoru lent to his skills being just as good as any other team member. The continuity between the games is shown by Kido's growing by a year between the events of the two games.

Shutokō Battle 01
"Due to his somewhat tender age of 18, his driving is somewhat rough and undefined. He claims particular specialty in the Ginza neighborhood on the Kanjousen."

Shutokō Battle
"Only 19 years old, his style is rough and undefined. He likes the Ginza loop roads, where he works on his precision driving. His car is tuned for maneuverability, but his skill has not quite caught up."

His particular liking to the Ginza portion of the C1 Loop could be a reference to Rolling Master's roaming location.
