Axel

Not to be confused with Axel Stone.

Axel is a taxi driver from Crazy Taxi. He is the character on the American box art for Crazy Taxi.

Bio
Axel had always wanted to be a cabbie ever since he was ten years old and considers it the coolest profession around.

He enjoys entertaining his customers while getting big tips in the process, and after work Axel likes nothing more than to play bass and vocals in punk bands and pick up women...unfortunately due to his volatile temper, bands often kick him out and women dump him.

Despite his fiery personality, Axel is a very personable guy who has many friends...he just needs to stop picking fights. He's also big on board sports and whenever he's not driving he can be found skating or surfing.
