Nikko (Japanese: 日光) is a character in Midnight Club II.

Races

Nikko's first event is an ordered checkpoint race, "Drifter's Playground" It is known for being difficult due to the rain and frequent police presence.

Nikko's second event is an ordered checkpoint race, "Savant of Speed" In this event, the player is racing against a timer, which will reset every time you clear a checkpoint. The police are also involved in this race.

When Nikko is defeated, he will reminisce about when he started out racing, becoming frustrated, but surrendering his Knight all the same.

Quotes

Drifter's Playground

("You can't fault this guy. This show-no-go is part of his own style!") "Whatchu runnin' under the hood, playa?"

Savant of Speed

("I am a proud rice boy, and my image is extremely important.") "Time to drive. Let's jet!"

Defeated

("When I became a racer, I do a 13-second quarter mile. I was the man! But now, if I don't run 10s or 11s, why bother?") "I got no car, where the hell am I supposed to go?"

Trivia

• He's one of few characters from Midnight Club II who gets annoyed once beaten, the other ones being Shing.
• He refers the protagonist as "playa" which is the pun on the word "player" (which may be also similar to the word "gangsta"), and also sometimes calls them "squid head".
• Nikko is one of the few racers who does the countdown during a race start, the other ones being Steven, Angel, Gina, Hector, Dice, and Savo.
• He sometimes hints that he is a drug user and needs to go to rehab. That also might contribute to his thin appearance.

Songs

• D-Noiser - Brain 26 "Question" (Non Vocal Mix) (follow, cutscenes, 1st and 2nd race)
