Houjou, Rin

北条凛

Rin Houjou, also known as "Shinigami", is Gou Houjou's older brother and a legendary driver from Kanagawa. Rin has maintained a long-standing feud with Ryousuke over a girl named Kaori, who was Rin's arranged fiancée at the time.
Kaori committed suicide after Rin verbally abused her, claiming that she would regret rejecting him once she and her family were ruined. Following this incident, Rin withdrew from the racing scene and became a recluse, isolating himself in his home for years, before making a surprising return to race (unofficially) against Ikeda, the leader of Team Spiral. Rin is an extremely skilled driver who employs a dangerous driving style.
