Zero4 Champ (ゼロヨンチャンプ, Zeroyon Chanpu) is a series of racing games created by Yutaka Kaminaga at Media Rings, which started in 1991 with the PC Engine title Zero4 Champ.
The series would transfer to the Kaminaga-founded WorkJam with the PlayStation 2 title Zero4 Champ Series: Drift Champ, co-developed by Tamsoft and published by Hudson Soft, along with the mobile phone Go! Zero4 Champ developed by Profire, both of which were released in late 2002.
The series is something of a predecessor to works like Initial D and Wangan Midnight, with its touge racing, aero parts tuning, and anime-style "Story Mode". It has also RPG and simulation gameplay which was succeeded by the Shutokou Battle titles Kattobi Tune and Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix.
