Courier

Courier's History

The Courier transports things as requested in exchange for money[2]. He transports illicit and contraband items (such as bombs, drugs, etc.) to locations as requested by dubious figures (i.e., gang members, etc.). Due to this, he is wanted by the new Kansai government.[3]

It's later revealed he's been taking these jobs presumably since he was very young. An older woman took him in, but one day, a stranger broke into the place this person was in and is implied to have shot and killed her. This incident also seems to be the origin of his robotic arm since he lost his original hand when defending against a gunshot of the Man. The stranger was riding on the bike that would later become Courier's bike.[4]AKUDAMA DRIVE WIKI

Background

The Courier transports things as requested in exchange for money[2]. He transports illicit and contraband items (such as bombs, drugs, etc.) to locations as requested by dubious figures (i.e., gang members, etc.). Due to this, he is wanted by the new Kansai government.[3]

It's later revealed he's been taking these jobs presumably since he was very young. An older woman took him in, but one day, a stranger broke into the place this person was in and is implied to have shot and killed her. This incident also seems to be the origin of his robotic arm since he lost his original hand when defending against a gunshot of the Man.

Past

Courier's past Episode 11

The Courier's memories of his childhood in Episode 11

The Courier appeared to live inside a small house or apartment, with a woman who took care of him and fed him. From his childhood, the Courier was shown to work on completing requests by transporting things around the city in exchange for money. One day, he was also shown obtaining a tip from one of his customers in the form of a coin tossed in his direction, which he picked up from the ground.

One day after returning from his work, he found that the woman had been killed by a stranger who broke into the house. The latter shot his gun at him, and during that incident, the Courier lost his hand. In that scene, the bike that would later become Courier's was visible inside the living room.

He later became known as an Akudama at Kansai city who eventually earned an estimated sentence of 745 years, making him one of the most wanted criminals in the city.
