Gum in Jet Set Radio.

Appearance

In the original, Gum wears a short cream coloured dress with thin dark/light green pipong at the hem, over a long sleeved top with alternating two-tone green sleeves, with her name in two tone katakana letters horizontally across her chest, cream coloured gloves with the same two-tone rings as the hem of her dress around the cuffs, and blue shorts. She also wears a dark blue aviator style helmet that has a yellow stripe down the front, with two small blue lines ether side, with what appears to be built in headphones. Little tufts of blonde hair poke out from the front, curling under her eyes along her cheekbones, and out the back down her neck. There's a yellow-orange cross on the backs of her gloves, and also on the sides of her helmet. Her skates match her attire, having a drab green and cream colour scheme, with lighter green katakana on both sides, with yellow wheels.

Role in Jet Set Radio

She plays a minimal role in the game, only being important in the earliest part of the game and once more later when she challenges Cube to a trick contest.

Appearances in Other Games

Gum has appeared in two games outside of the Jet Set Radio series.

Sega Superstars Tennis

Gum is a playable character in this Sega tennis game. Her design is taken from the original Jet Set Radio. Gum's Superstar move has Tokyo-to's Police Force storm in on the tennis court, running over her opponent.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed

Gum has been officially revealed to take part in the sequel to Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing alongside Beat. She has a green and white car similar to Beat's one. Her All Star move makes a broken heart appear behind her. It could be a reference to the line "a real cool lady who leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever she goes" of Jet Set Radio Future. In this game, she has acquired a green tattoo on the left leg, saying "Gum" in japanese, this is a reference to the same tattoo that is shown in her original Jet Set Radio appearance however the tattoo was originally placed closer to her inner thigh. Sumo Digital most likely moved the tattoo to avoid making Gum seem sexualized for younger players.

Skullgirls

Gum is not a playable character in the game, but when the player enables the color palette and gets the Squigly DLC, the player will see Gum's palette on Squigly whenever the player choses her.
