Tadashi Kikuchi

Tadashi Kikuchi is far more than a secretary at Ainosuke Shindo's side — he is the very person who first introduced Shindo to the world of skateboarding. Operating discreetly within the underground arena known as 'S' under the name 'Snake', he manages the event's inner workings from the shadows. Haunted by guilt over the person Shindo has become, Tadashi silently endures every command thrown his way. Driven by a quiet determination, he ultimately steps back onto the board himself, hoping that the sport they once shared might be enough to pull Shindo back from the edge.
