Strike is a playable character from the Bust A Groove series. Strike is a notorious street gangster and public enemy, who at some point, served time in a state penitentiary. During his time inside, he formed a dance team named "The Ball and Chain Revue". In Bust A Groove, Strike is seen about to leave from a building's back entrance, expecting to see paparazzi. Instead, there are a group of police officers waiting for him. He then takes out the pistols from his holsters and starts shooting at them. During his epilogue in Bust A Groove 2, Strike's story is retold by the Dancing Heroes' host, James Suneoka. Strike grew up as a notorious street gangster, and soon turned over a new leaf after getting locked away in a state penitentiary for a crime he didn't commit. Due to good behavior, he was released from prison, and with some friends he met during his time inside, formed the rap group "Notorious", sweeping the nation and critics alike with their hard hitting lyrics and authenticity. Although he's satisfied with the fame and respect that he's earned with his career, he still gets into trouble every now and again. After telling his story, Strike shoots his Bazooka to James' chest to make a bullet hole in the center and James watches his dance performance and concluded the show with the large bullet hole on his chest inflicted by Strike.
