Jimmy Yip is the main antagonist of Driver 76.
Description
Jimmy Yip is a member of the Triads who was dating Chen-Chi, Zhou's daughter. He mocks Chen-Chi's other boyfriend, Ray, by calling him "hill-billy", possibly in reference to Ray not being native to New York and only being in the city for 6 months when he laid eyes on Chen-Chi. Jimmy also works for Zhou as his lieutenant, but Ray and Slink don't find out about this until after they delivered the special cars on Zhou's wishlist.
Jimmy's a good friend of Romero, the leader of the Latinos and owner of the Copacabana Club, who promptly kicks Ray out of the club when Zhou refused to pay him. He's also seen supporting Zhou when he calls Slink and Ray out for selling him his own cocaine when they and the Thompsons thought it belonged to the Latinos.
Some time after Romero's death, Jimmy betrayed Zhou and he and his goons began to work with the Latinos in an attempt to build his empire and overthrow Zhou. When Ray and Slink crippled his empire, Jimmy attempted to assassinate them both by rigging Slink's Ride with a bomb near Elmo's Bar, but they tow it to his mansion in Englewood, New Jersey, and detonate the bomb. Jimmy survives the explosion and kidnaps Chen-Chi, taking her to a warehouse in the Bronx. After dealing with his goons, Slink rescues Chen-Chi, and Ray chases down Jimmy when he attempted to escape in a helicopter, eventually killing him by driving his own car into the helicopter.
