Teku

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Teku are a racing team in the movie series Hot Wheels AcceleRacers.

Teku members customize their cars with the latest in audio and visual technology. Each car has speakers capable of very high volume, they are sort of like an Import racing team, much to the dislike of their rivals, the Metal Maniacs.

[edit] Members

  • Nolo Pasaro (voiced by Dexter Bell)
The present leader and a racer. Tone's younger brother, who has a deep grudge against Tork, the leader of the Metal Maniacs, because Nolo believes Tork is responsible for his brother's death.
The winner of Highway 35 and son of Major Wheeler. In the end, it is up to him to defeat outrace Gelorum when the rest of the racers attempt to rescue Mark Wylde.
Mark Wylde's older brother. Their reconciliation after the events of Highway 35 appears to ended in a falling out and a drastic change in Mark's personality.
A music loving member who can also drive with style. He is extremely mellow, which annoys Metal Maniac Porkchop to no ends.
One of the most skilled drivers in the Teku. Analytical and perceptive, she easily formulates racing strategies based on whatever circumstances she finds herself in. She and Taro Kitano appear to be attracted to one another.
  • Tone Pasaro (voiced by Craig Veroni)
Nolo's deceased older brother. The previous leader of the Teku until an accident in which he turned too hard on a turn leading to his death. Nolo blames Tork for Tone's death.
