Joe

Joe, whose real name is Kojiro Nanjo, is one of the founding members of the underground skate group S in Sk8 the Infinity. Outside the races, he is a professional chef and longtime friend of Cherry Blossom and Adam.

Joe's role in the S skating community

Confident, flirtatious, and physically imposing, Joe enjoys competition but is more emotionally perceptive than his playful image suggests. He often acts as a protective older-brother figure to the younger skaters.

Power skating, cooking, and his history with Cherry

Joe's skating emphasizes power, speed, and muscular control, allowing him to handle steep or dangerous courses. His history with Cherry and Adam connects the current S community to the friendship and conflict that shaped its beginnings.
