Description
President Gapporin commands the Gapporin Conglomerate, a direct competitor to the Misaki Concern in high-stakes racing circuits. His actions are driven purely by stinginess and greed, seeking prize money and corporate advantage above all else, leading him to sanction sabotage and other underhanded tactics to secure wins for his team.
He retains top racer Okkanabitch on a strictly transactional basis to pilot the Zenizeni machines, displaying no concern for the pilot's safety or failures, focusing solely on profitable outcomes. Gapporin habitually bets against President Misaki during every race, consistently losing due to the rival team's superior performance.
His results-at-any-cost leadership results in frequent mechanical failures of the Zenizeni vehicles. Despite requiring constant replacements, each new machine is invariably designated "Zenizeni No. 1," highlighting operational instability. His interactions with Okkanabitch’s wife, Icarine, and daughter, Tsuntsun, are limited to their perceived utility in advancing his racing ambitions. Even as the plot shifts around episode nine to involve an ancient conspiracy, his core traits remain fixed: an antagonist defined by corporate rivalry and unethical racing strategies, devoid of significant evolution.
