Using a flawless inertia slide on the Akina downhill, Takumi passed Keisuke Takahashi on a tofu delivery run. Keisuke and the other RedSuns would seek for vengeance as a result of this incident. Koichiro Iketani, after hearing a tale from his employer Yuichi Tachibana, goes in quest of the quickest downhill racer on Akina, a tofu store owner who drives an Eight-Six. Iketani finally admits that there is a 50/50 chance that the person he was looking for, Bunta Fujiwara, will show up after pleading with him on several times to represent the Akina SpeedStars in their conflict with the Akagi RedSuns.

Although it is uncertain how he obtained this engine, he may have connections in the world of professional racing (suggested by the fact that he knows Keiichi Tsuchiya). Due to the car’s new engine’s increased speed and the resulting high g-forces it produces for the driver, a bucket seat was added. Takumi’s automobile, which Bunta fixed with a lot of money he had earned from delivering tofu, is now owned equally by him and his son, according to Bunta. Takumi first thinks that the new engine in the automobile is less
