Taejo Togokahn is a prominent character in the classic anime series *Speed Racer*. He is the older brother of Rex Racer (also known as the Masked Racer). His birth name is unknown.

Initially believed to be deceased, Taejo resurfaces as a formidable and ruthless rally car driver. He is driven by a deep-seated resentment towards his father, Pops Racer, and his younger brother, Speed, blaming them for a perceived lack of support in his own racing ambitions.

Throughout the series, Taejo's motivations and past are gradually revealed, adding complexity to his character. Ultimately, he experiences a reconciliation with his family, shedding his vengeful persona. His actions lead to Speed and his family being kidnapped which is later solved.
