Axel is a character of Crazy Taxi series. He is often seen driving his cab.

History[]

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.
