"Yusaku's a good kid -maybe a little wet behind the ears- but he'll do alright. I coulda taken over the Soul Crew after the shakeup, but that's not my thing. So I told Yusaku it was time for him to step up and be a man. Then I hit the road.
Just give me some clear streets and room to ride and you won't hear any complaints from me. That's why I started Shinjuku Mad. We're into the same things: bikes, brawls and bad attitudes. It's not that we go out looking for trouble, it just seems to come our way. Never seems to hang around for long though. Hard to cause a beef on two broken knees.
Anyway, that's my story. I'm not too interested in this whole fighting game, but I've got time to kill. And somebody's gotta show Redrum what it means to be bad."

"Welcome to Roppongi... now get out. This is my turf, my town. You wanna walk on my streets, yer gonna hafta pay the piper. That's me. And I'm packin' a pretty big pipe if ya know what I mean. This whole figthin' tournament is a joke. Nobody gets over on Kurosawa.
Yusaku, Joe, Zaimoku -the whole buncha them- they're running around playing kids games, trying to decide who's King of the Hill. Last time I checked the crown it said Roppongi Hardcore Boys rule.
If the whole town wants to scuffle for the top spot, I'm game. Never walk away from somebody when you can walk all over them. And if that punk Redeye wants a taste, well, let's see how he likes sucking down three feet of hardwood with no teeth."

"Grandpa Kusanami's OK I guess... he taught me everything I know about using my sticks. But I wish he wasn't so old fashioned about things. He doesn't understand that a high-school girl's got to have time to have fun. He's always nagging that I should spend more time in the dojo and less time hanging out with the Orchids. I just let him talk, then I go and do what I want. After all, since my mom ran off to America with that lawyer, I'm all the family he's got. What's he gonna do, disinherit me?"

"Just because I'm the only daughter of a zaibatsu director's family doesn't mean I have to be spoiled rotten and nasty... but I am anyway. I formed the Dogma crew with one rule only; No boys allowed. I don't hate men, I just expect them to serve me. And if pigs like Kurosawa can't handle it, they can tell it to the business end of my sai. That tomboy Yoko on the other hand is welcome to join us whenever she wants."

"Thrashing the streets of L.A., shredding the slopes in Vale, chilling out back home in Osaka. Yeah, you could say I've been there and done that. I don't ask much out of life. Just have a good time all the time. But that doesn't mean I can't get serious when I need to. Old man Kusanami taught me about that, about finding a center and trusting myself. About using my stick.
I learned a lot at the Kusanami-dojo. And I met Lisa there. Man, is that girl hot or what? But she looks through me like I'm The Invisible Man. Can you believe it?
So I quit the dojo and got together a couple of guys in Helter Skelter to tear up the streets of Tokyo and generally get it on. And when I win this tournament, I think Lisa will begin to see why she and I were meant to be."

"When my brother and I started the G-Troops, all we wanted to do was practice our skills: survival game tactics, hand-to-hand combat, some commando weapons techniques. But the whole thing was training. Nobody was supposed to get hurt.
But I guess word got out that the G-Troops could rock hard with the best of them. Then my brother got that invitation from the Redrum gang, and when he refused, they messed him up pretty bad. I haven't seen him since. So now there's nobody to take his place but me.
I've been in some scrapes before, but nothing like this. The other guys in this tournament look pretty tough, and they've all learned their reps on the street. But I don't care about any of that, they can keep the stupid tournament. All I want is to get my hands on Red Eye for what he did to my brother."

"Life was easy back in the old days; Soul Crew ruled the streets, and nobody gave us any trouble. But since our leader got wasted, you gotta watch your back around here. Now I'm the boss of Neo Soul, but I have to fight to get any respect. Joe split off to do his own thing, and Zaimoku went back home to work for his dad. Now every punk on the street wants to challenge me for the chance to be the new Number One. But I've got three big sticks that say I'm here to stay."

"I thought I could give up all this king of the streets tough-guy baloney when I came back to work for my pop. All I wanted to do was put in an honest day's work at the yards, and set a good example for the rest of the Dumpsters.
Then this whole stupid StreetWar thing had to flare up again. That's the reason I quit Soul Crew to begin with. But now Redrum is making threats to my boys. They say there's gonna be trouble if I don't show. I say there's gonna be trouble when I do."
