Emperor

Emperor (エンペラー Enperā) is a highly skilled team lead by Kyoichi Sudo. The entire team is made of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, claiming their cars are the king of the mountains. Based on Tochigi, their home course is the one-way road of Irohazaka. Their goal was the crush every team in Gunma and take their team stickers to decorate their spoilers as a resumé of how many they have defeated. Their Gunma dominance came to an end when Takumi defeated Seiji in Akina. They serve as the main antagonistic faction in the Emperor arc in Initial D: Second Stage, as well as Extra Stage, and briefly a minor antagonist in Third Stage. The Lancer Evolutions they primarily drive are the 3rd and 4th generations of the car.
