Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm also getting strong Sun Wukong vibes from Presto, which makes me wonder if this will be in some way inspired by Journey To The West

Looking at their designs on the official site (here: https://beatrunners.co.jp/) I'm getting even more fond of them, they have a neat combination of tokusatsu rule-of-cool sensibilities and a more grounded military scifi look.

I'm still not confident in my Journey To The West interpretation until we get more information, but as of now I can see Presto as Sun Wukong, Adagio as Tang Sanzang, Lento as Zhu Bajie, and Vivace as Sha Wujing.
