Brian O'Conner is the lead protagonist of the series. He appears in all of the films in the series except for Tokyo Drift. During the events of the first film, Brian O'Conner is working as an undercover detective with the LAPD, who assigns him the task of solving a series of semi-trailer truck hijackings. While investigating the street race scene, he meets Dominic Toretto and infiltrates his crew while getting involved in a relationship with Dominic's sister, Mia Toretto. He allows Dom to escape arrest at the end of the first film and leaves Los Angeles after to avoid his own arrest. In the second film, he is shown living in Miami as a street racer, and after winning a race, Brian is caught by U.S. Customs agents and offered a deal to take part in a joint Customs/FBI operation in exchange for his criminal record being wiped clean. He teams up with childhood friend Roman Pearce, and the two go undercover as street racers, eventually apprehending the ruthless drug lord, Carter Verone. In the fourth film, after having his crimes pardoned, Brian becomes an FBI agent and is given the task of bringing down Arturo Braga, a known drug trafficker. Brian, as well as Dominic, both infiltrate Braga's crew. While Braga is eventually apprehended, Dominic is arrested and sentenced to prison as well, resulting in Brian, Mia, and members of Dominic's crew intercepting the prison bus to free Dominic from custody. In Fast Five, Brian and Dominic get caught in a crossfire with corrupt businessman and ruthless drug lord Hernan Reyes in Rio de Janeiro and plot to steal all of Reyes' money to buy their freedom. It is revealed in Fast Five that Brian's father wasn't there for him and Brian doesn't know anything about him, and that Brian had been in juvenile detention with Roman. Brian has also rekindled his relationship with Mia, and they are expecting a child. He seems interested in Nissan's GT-R line, and has driven two Skyline R34s, a first-generation KPGC10, and an R35 GT-R. Brian O'Conner is portrayed by Paul Walker.
Dominic Toretto is the antihero of the series. He appears in all of the films in the series except for 2 Fast 2 Furious. An elite street racer, auto mechanic and ex-convict, Dominic is the brother of Mia Toretto and former love interest and ex-boyfriend of Leticia Ortiz. Dominic's crew has perpetrated many high-speed truck hijackings, stealing millions of dollars in merchandise. When he is finally apprehended by Brian, Brian lets him go free. He has spent most of his life running from the law. In Fast and Furious, Dominic and Brian reunite in the wake of Leticia's death to stop drug lord Arturo Braga. In Fast Five, Dominic and Brian make a plot to steal all of Hernan Reyes' money in an attempt to buy their freedom. Dominic Toretto is portrayed by Vin Diesel.
Leticia Ortiz is Dominic's love interest. She is also a highly skilled street racer and mechanic. In The Fast and the Furious, Leticia expresses some concern about Dominic's carjacking scheme, but goes along to back him up despite her concerns. In the end, during a botched highway robbery, she rolls her car and is injured, but survives. During the events of Fast & Furious, she is on Dominic's crew in his heists of fuel tankers in the Dominican Republic, but when the local law enforcement starts closing in, he leaves her behind to protect her from harm. Several weeks later, Mia calls Dominic to tell him Leticia has been apparently murdered by Fenix. It is later revealed that after she couldn't find him, Leticia contacted FBI agent Brian O'Conner and became a double agent for Braga's crime ring in order to allow Dominic to return home. In the post-credit scene of the Fast Five, Luke Hobbs receives a file regarding a robbery, in which Leticia's photograph is attached, revealing that she is still alive and involved with the robbery of a military convoy in Berlin. Leticia Ortiz is portrayed by Michelle Rodriguez.
Mia Toretto is Dominic's sister and Brian's love interest. Mia is a character outside of Dominic's schemes, but not totally excluded as she knew of all their plots and not agreeing with them. Dominic's friends (especially Vince) and Muse, an agent conducting surveillance on the Toretto's camp, are both shown to be attracted to her (with Muse even admitting that he would get off on Mia's surveillance photos). Mia is also shown to be a proficient driver as she also grew up with Dominic under their race car driver father. In her second film appearance, Mia has a lesser role being a person mostly under surveillance by the FBI. She is seen at Leticia's funeral and is mostly seen afterwards either persuading Dominic not to get in danger or talking to FBI Agent Brian O'Conner about their past together. When Dominic gets injured, Brian calls her to help him. It is implied in the film that they eventually renew their relationship. In Fast Five, she is happily with Brian and revealed to be pregnant with his baby. Throughout the film, she assists Dominic's crew in the heist by driving and staying back at base with surveillance. Mia Toretto is portrayed by Jordana Brewster.
Roman Pearce is the second main character of the film 2 Fast 2 Furious. He is a childhood friend of Brian O'Conner. Originating from Barstow, California, Pearce grew up alongside O'Conner. In Fast Five, Brian says that he and Roman had met in juvenile detention. Two months after Brian finished Police Academy, Roman was arrested when he was found in a garage with eight stolen cars. Although O'Conner had no prior information for Pearce's arrest, Pearce overall blamed O'Conner for the simple fact that he was a cop, an organization of the law which he opposed. Pearce and O'Conner later mended their ways when Pearce agreed to participate in a sting operation on Miami drug lord Carter Verone and later talked about opening their own high performance garage using pocketed amounts of Verone's drug money. However, when O'Conner became an FBI agent, Pearce started spending time and money gambling in Las Vegas, according to his Fast Five profile. Pearce appears again in Fast Five as part of Dominic and Brian's team as a precision driver and a "fast-talker" in their attempt to steal a vault from a corrupt Brazilian businessman. He is reluctant at first, thinking the mission is personal and not being good business until Dominic utters the vault is full of millions in cash which is enough to change his mind. Roman Pearce is portrayed by Tyrese Gibson.
Han Seoul-Oh is a former aloof gang member, street racer and later a business partner to Takashi. He is a supporting character to both Dominic Toretto in Fast & Furious and Fast Five and to Sean Boswell in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Han appears in Fast & Furious as a member of Dominic's team stealing fuel tankers in the beginning, and later in Fast Five as a member of Dominic and Brian's heist team, brought on as a precision driver and a "chameleon". While planning the heist, he falls for fellow team member Gisele Yashar, who attributes Han's constant need to occupy his hands to him being a former smoker (referring to his habits in the film Better Luck Tomorrow, which, like Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious and Fast Five, was also directed by Justin Lin). After the heist, the two start a relationship and travel through Europe, planning to eventually reach Tokyo, leading to the events of Tokyo Drift, where he teaches Sean how to drift. He later dies in a car chase between him and Takashi. As an inside joke, Han's surname (Seoul-Oh) is a prank Korean-sounding reference to Han Solo from Star Wars. Han Seoul-Oh is portrayed by Sung Kang.
Sean Boswell is the main character of the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. He is a 17 year old loner in school during the events of the film. After having three strikes of street racing in the United States, Sean's mother sent him to Tokyo, Japan, to live with his father and avoiding jail time. In Japan he was introduced to the drift racing scene, and made good friends with Han, a former member of Dominic Toretto's crew, who was his supporter throughout the film. He eventually met Dominic at the end, and raced him through a parking garage. Aside from Han and Dominic, Sean has no connection to any other major characters in the series. Sean Boswell is portrayed by Lucas Black.[1][2]
Vince is a childhood friend and street racer under Dominic Toretto. He opposed O'Conner's inclusion into Dominic's crew especially since his sister favored O'Conner over him. Vince was said to be around 29 years of age around the time of The Fast and the Furious in 2001 and was in the same third grade class as Dominic, putting his birth date around 1972, although his birth date is revealed to be in 7/3/1972, making him 39 years old at the time of Fast Five.[3] Near the end of the first film, Vince is seriously injured when he is shot by a trucker whose shipments he attempted to hijack. He is not present or mentioned in Fast & Furious, but can be seen in a picture with Leticia and Dominic at Leticia's funeral, although his face is not clear. Vince re-appears in Fast Five living in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro with his wife, Rosa and infant son, "Nico" (who is named after Dominic). He tries to steal one of three cars on a train he attempted to hijack in an earlier mission, but it goes awry. Dominic's trust in his longtime friend is strained for a time when he was caught hiding information from the team, but ultimately regains that trust after saving Mia from being killed and joins Dominic's heist team. Before the crew could perform their heist on Reyes, he is later captured by Hobbs along with Dominic, Brian and Mia, but is fatally wounded while saving the cop from Zizi's ambush on the convoy. Before he dies, Dominic promises Vince that he will watch over Rosa and "Nico". After the successful heist on Reyes, Dominic gives Vince's share to Rosa and "Nico", promising to visit soon. Vince is portrayed by Matt Schulze.
Leon is a street racer under Dominic Toretto. He has very few lines or scenes in the film, but most notably he is seen acting as a dispatcher during the street race at the beginning of the film alerting everyone of police presence.

Jesse is a street racer and the brains of Dominic's operations. Jesse admits to having Attention Deficit Disorder and is shown often stuttering in his speeches and very nervous. Despite this setback, he is the computer nerd of the group as he is responsible for creating the designs, doing background checks on people, and hacking the engine characteristics of Toretto's race vehicles with precise calculations (a characteristic of those of ADD as they usually have high IQs). He is somewhat irresponsible as he later raced Johnny Tran for pink slips against the wishes of O'Conner who even warned him that Tran had over $100,000 under the hood of his vehicle. This proved to be true as Jesse lost to Tran, later driving off and escaping his loss. An enraged Tran and his accomplice later pull a drive by at Toretto's house missing everyone except Jesse who is killed in the shooting. Jesse is portrayed by Chad Lindberg.
Tej Parker is an old friend of Brian's who allows him to participate in races hosted by him near his garage in Miami. Tej does not race anymore, preferring to referee and make money off selling parts out of his garage and also due to what he claims to have stopped him from racing, an injured leg. He has an off-on relationship with Suki. When Brian needs a place to stay, he allows Brian and Pearce to stay in his garage rooms for a while. Later, when Brian needs to orchestrate a "scramble" to escape detection by the FBI, Tej shows him another large car garage owned by him, which they use for the scramble. Tej and Suki drive Brian and Roman's Mitsubishis out to be intercepted by the FBI, allowing them to continue their mission which shows that he still can drive as well. Tej also appeared in Fast Five as part of Dominic and Brian's crew, brought on as their technician expert. Tej Parker is portrayed by Ludacris.
Suki is a friend of Brian and sometimes girlfriend of Tej Parker. She is shown to have a highly competitive nature but she is also an excellent driver by handling losses easily. Despite that Brian has won against her numerous times, they remain good friends, and she later helps Brian and Pearce out by driving Pearce's Mitsubishi along with Tej to allow the pair to escape custody. Suki is portrayed by Devon Aoki.

This would lead Brian O'Conner to organize a large SWAT assault team to invade Tran's house only to find a few minor weapons charges and other minor issues. After being Bailed out, Tran is later seen at Race Wars racing Jesse for pink slips. Both Dominic and Brian warn Jesse about Tran's vehicle having over $100,000 worth of upgrades but Jesse ignores them and races Tran anyway. After Tran wins, he then confronts Dominic accusing him of the SWAT team invasion of his home and disrespect him in front of his family (unaware that the man responsible, Brian O'Conner was right there in front of him).
