Itsuki "Ikki" Minami, is a student
and a delinquent. Also known as the "Unbeatable Babyface", Ikki is
the leader of the youth gang by the name of "East Side Gunz"
(Hikatsuganzu). Upon his return home, after being humiliated by a Storm Rider
team called the Skull Saders, Ikki discovers a secret hidden from him by his
benefactors, the Noyamano sisters. The sisters belong to a group of Storm
Riders who go by the team name of Sleeping Forest. In the anime, learning the
sisters' secret angers him and he steals a pair of Air Trecks, abbreviated as
"AT". (In the manga, the sisters give a pair of ATs to him and invite
him to skate with them.) Ikki eventually settles his grudge with the Skull
Saders, but in the process he receives more than the simple satisfaction of
revenge. Determined to experience the sensation of "flight" for as
long as he can, Ikki is quickly engaged in the mysterious, irresistible world
of Air Treks.
