Challengers/Characters

Clockwise from the top left, Rick, Tomoe, Kurokawa, Souichi and Isogai.

All names are in the Japanese format (surnames first) since surnames are generally the names characters are known by. That's with the exception of Tomoe and Souichi, since they're family members and calling them both Tatsumi would be confusing.
