He is a new racer in the Orcs GP, aiming to overthrow the Loser King. He is a talented racer with a promising future, but his results aren't great, as he rarely finishes a race thanks to consistently overworking his machine beyond the limit of the engine.
Initially being on the verge of death following a Stampede-related incident, he miraculously survived after his heart was replaced by an experimental engine, the Tomoe Drive. However, due to the handicap caused by the weight of the Tomoe Drive and regulation checks, he is no longer allowed to compete in established races.

On Tellus, a half-explored planet inhabited by immigrant pioneers and plagued by terraforming machine-induced earthquakes known as the "Stampedes", a promising young racer named Shiro suffers life-threatening injuries while chasing after the legendary "Loser King" alongside his lifelong rival, Goodspeed. On his deathbed, he is visited by a mysterious woman calling herself Tomoe, who gives him a second chance in life in exchange for participating in The Planet Re-Development Race - an annual event where daredevil mavericks from all across the globe gather not just in pursuit of an enormous amount of prize money, but to explore what lies in the unexplored parts of the planet.
