Fujiwara, Takumi
藤原 拓海
Takumi works part-time at a gas station alongside Itsuki and Iketani, a member of the local racing team, the Akina Speed Stars. In the early episodes, both Itsuki and Iketani believe Takumi lacks driving ability due to his complete disinterest in cars and racing.
The only person who suspects Takumi possesses advanced driving techniques is the gas station owner, Yuuichi, as demonstrated in the episode where Takumi discusses drifting with Iketani and Itsuki. In reality, Takumi has far more experience on the touge than Iketani and Itsuki, having driven his father's AE86 Trueno for five years (since he was 13, in his first year of junior high school, 7th grade) to deliver tofu to a hotel at 4 a.m. daily. Bunta has subtly manipulated Takumi into developing these skills, though Takumi is not fully aware of Bunta's intent.
Aside from Bunta, Takumi's driving technique is the best on Akina; the fact that he has won races against much more powerful cars with his AE86 Trueno testifies to his skill. As a result of constant daily practice and over five years of experience on Akina, Takumi can adapt to nearly any race situation with astonishing speed. One factor in his nearly unparalleled skills is his ability to visualize the road in his head, compensating for poor visibility regardless of how dark the mountain pass is. He is an instinctive rather than an intellectual driver. Although the mizutoshi technique is a great but difficult method taught by his father, it led him to many victories throughout the story.
Spoiler
At first, Takumi was not part of any team (he was just loosely affiliated with the Akina Speed Stars), but later, Takumi joins Project D, a super-team created by Ryosuke Takahashi aimed at capturing all the time records in Japan. But despite this, he has yet to beat his father in a race.
Spoiler
Keisuke asks Takumi to become professional racers together and now Takumi's eventual goal is to become a professional racer with Keisuke. Keisuke and Takumi become rivals that aspire to the same dream.
Spoiler
In MF Ghost, he travelled to England at the age of 20, participated in rally races in the country, and shown his prowess when racing in paved surface. He won his first championship in his third year of racing and was nicknamed "Flying Japanese" . He would then sign a contract with Toyota to compete in WRC, but during a test the car's driveshaft broke and the car then fell into a valley, which made him suffer serious injury and ended his career as a professional racer.
He then become an instructor in RDRS driving school and would become Kanata's instructor. His method of teaching is by giving his students vague tasks and let his students give an answer after doing such tasks.
