Biography
Speed Jr. is the second son of the original Speed Racer from the 1967 Japanese anime series. Speed grew up in an orphanage for the majority of his childhood. His parents had left him a special key and a red ascot, both of which he kept with him. He is often awkward and shy, but being behind the wheel brings out the best in him. Speed's skills on the racetrack are on par with those of the top ranking students at the Racing Academy. Despite his amazing talent, he is generally quite modest about his abilities and claims that his maneuvers are a result of instinct rather than skill. He is not in it for money or fame - he just wants to be "the best racer in the world", to have fun, uphold his father's legacy, and live a peaceful life. Speed Jr. is voiced by Kurt Csolak.
