Itsuki is Takumi's best friend and a member of the Akina SpeedStars. He serves as the series' comic relief, being the most enthusiastic figure in the entire street racing scene. Hoping to emulate Takumi, he mistakenly purchases an AE85 ("Eight-Five") Corolla Levin, confusing it for an Eight-Six. This error distresses him until Takumi takes him for a drive, ultimately racing the car downhill, to demonstrate that driver skill can make a difference. Owning a car, he considers himself a self-proclaimed member of the Akina SpeedStars. He eventually buys a turbocharger for his Eight-Five.
