Beat (ビート, Biito) is a playable character and overall protagonist in the Jet Set Radio series, as well as the games mascot. He is a 17-year-old, laid back, and level headed "Rudie" who ran away from home and helped found the GG’s. Beat loves to skate and is okay with breaking the law and is originally from the town of Fukuoka. Beat spends his time skating around fighting for turf with the rival gangs of Tokyo-to, marking his territory with graffiti and annihilating others' tags. As graffiti is an act of vandalism and is punishable by law, this attracts the attention of Police Captain Onishima, Hayashi, and the S.W.A.T. team, who relentlessly pursue Beat and his friends.

Ikran's F-Zero timeline[]

Trivia[]
- This was an idea made by one of Ikran's friends, Buttscottchpiie; he was supposed to be one of the members in the Criminal Case crossover, thus as an ally in the Elite Mobile Task Force.
