Fumihiro acts as Project D's second-in-command and handler, arranging and organizing battles against other teams, as well as scouting potential courses. In many respects, he also functions as a kind of Executive Assistant to Ryousuke Takahashi. He held the same position during his tenure with the Akagi RedSuns and, presumably, has known Ryousuke for a while. It is not explicitly known whether he has a background as a street racer or how he initially connected with Ryosuke and the RedSuns; his personal car, a Toyota SW20, appears only once during a daytime meeting with Takahashi Keisuke but is never seen at any races. Fumihiro usually drives the Number 1 van during Project D's events. In the fourth stage, Keisuke nicknamed him "Shiko."
