Reiko Nagase is the mascot of Ridge Racer series.
Bio[edit | edit source]
As a race queen, Reiko broadly fulfills the same role as the fair maidens occasionally spotted at medieval jousting events - which is to say, a glorified piece of eye candy. Of course, Ridge Racer being a series about cars instead of characters means there are few other people you could ogle even if you wanted to, and as far as the fans are concerned, you better believe nobody wants to, either.
Though more of a relic from its earlier works, Reiko is dearly beloved by Namco, and has her fair share of cameos in their other games. Perhaps most notably, the Ace Combat series has made it a running gag to include various female fighter pilots called Kei Nagase - all of which have a striking resemblance to Reiko herself. We're not saying they're family, but they probably are.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Reiko Nagase, accompanied by her younger sister Kei Nagase, fought in 8chanmania LXXVII. More used to the race tracks instead of the ring, she decided to put her akido lessons to good use by wrecking the Game Guy. Except the latter actually had made her bet on her losing against him, and promptly ran off with her car keys. As her chased after the thief, a very confused Reiko Nagas ran into Tommy Wiseau, who wrestled her into submission with his poker face alone.
