**Occupation**

Amano is a competitive racer and fighter. Though he loves to race from time to time, fighting is now his current job because he hoped to work around his problems with far more experienced people.

## Abilities

Amano is but a paraplegic whose innate ability lies in his capability in traveling speeds that are far too dangerous for humans, which is seen as an unusual feat since this is commonly seen in non-humans[2]. He's also faced much faster competitors and has won several times against them. Due to his hard-working nature, he has also developed a total immunity to heat, electricity & friction.

Despite being the shortest protagonist, he is also seen to be immensely strong, helping out racers carrying their equipment when he's all prepared. Its also noted he's physically stronger than Luno.

He also has some level of intelligence, mostly pertaining to physics. Some of his formulas can be flawed, but sometimes Luno would come over to fix them.

## Character Design

Appearance-wise, Amano is a stout, young man with blonde hair swept at the sides, with yellow, diamond-shaped eyes. His body has experienced major changes over the years, from a boy in a wheelchair to a man with claws made out of molten lava and a pair of wheels to help him move around.

His clothing preference of choice is anything where function prevails over fashion since he doesn't have a knack for aesthetics.

## Relationships

They sometimes argue and quarrel even to the smallest of matters. Regardless, they set aside their differences and continue being as close as ever. They've known each other since childhood and have been close ever since.

Magnum knows Amano since the racer rose to fame, and fancies himself as Amano's friend. They are both on friendly terms.
