Biography[]
Michael Beckenbauer is a racing prodigy from Germany, who had graduated Porsche's Motorsport Academy. His entry to the MFG series is said to have "rocked the whole scene". However, Michael is dissatisfied with the level of MFG, stating that it's "nothing but amateurs and has-beens", thus having no interest in the event and wishing to return back to his homeland after the second year. However, his mindset begins to change after Round 3 when he is confused by feeling of "stupid sense of accomplishment winning in MFG" after battling with Kanata and Kouki Sawatari.
He lives in a luxury tower apartment known as "Akasaka The Residence" located in Tokyo, Japan with his beautiful older sister Agnes Beckenbauer. He has a rather prideful and arrogant personality, although during races he is calm and collected. However, he becomes distraught when he finds himself in an unexpected situation such as in a battle with a superior opponent.
