Initial D - S01

TV25m

During the decisive race against Kanagawa's street racing team Sidewinder, Project D's Takumi Fujiwara encounters an unexpected rival: 17-year-old high school student Shinji Inui. Shinji started driving at an early age and knows the mountain pass course well. To make things more challenging, he drives the same Toyota AE86 as Takumi. At first, Shinji shows little interest in competing, but after watching the intense duel between Keisuke Takahashi and Gou Houjou, he finds new motivation. Having never lost on his home turf, the Tsubaki Line, Shinji could be Takumi's toughest challenge so far.
