However, since Reiko's popularity with fans still was strong, Namco decided to bring back her for 2004's Ridge Racers. ![]() In 2001, Namco also created an "image girl" for their Namco Sports line named Hitomi Yoshino (吉乃ひとみ), who was featured in a Ridge Racer trailer shown in the 2002 edition of the E3 even as the Ridge Racer series does not belong to that line. In 2000, Namco decided to replace Reiko Ridge Racer V with newcomer Ai Fukami (深水 藍). She also appears in the Nintendo-developed Ridge Racer 64 (2000). This is when Namco started giving more exposure to the character, heavily using her image to promote the game. Type 4 also introduced a redesign to her 3D model by Kei Yoshimizu. In R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 (1998), she was given more prominence, as the opening animation, which used a song by Kimara Lovelace, was a short story starring her. Not counting an original cameo in the arcade game Rave Racer (1995), Reiko officially first appeared and was named in the racing game Rage Racer (1996), in the game's full motion video intro directed by Kei Yoshimizu from Keica, also appearing in-game. Reiko Nagase is a fictional race queen from Tokyo who is the digital mascot and host of the Ridge Racer series.
