Fan Casting Joker in Akira: Part 1

The grinning, bald-headed leader of the Reapers biker gang, a rival to Kaneda's Red Devils. Joker is theatrical menace personified—a custom chopper belching flames, a tire-tread tattoo on his face, a smile that is both charming and terrifying. In the game of chicken with Kaneda, his grin flickers into fear for a single frame, and he swerves. Defeated but alive, he lies in the road, looking up at Kaneda with grudging respect.
