Talent: Skateboarding
Ainosuke Shindou is best known as Adam, the main antagonist of SK8 the Infinity. By day he's a politician, but he's got a whole other life as one of the most skilled skateboarders in the underground "S" racing scene. The double life thing is kind of his whole deal—he's got the polished public persona and then this intense, competitive side that comes out on the course. Fans often note how effectively the show uses this contrast to make him a compelling villain; he's not just evil for evil's sake, but someone whose two worlds directly clash with the story's heroes.
