* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Beating the undefeated Ryosuke Takakashi cemented Takumi's reputation as one of the best drivers in the Gunma Prefecture.
to:
Protagonist of the series, 18 year-old Takumi is the son of Bunta and over the course of ''Initial D'', ascends to be one the fastest racers in the Kanto region of Japan. While he appears to be an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, the truth is for the past five years (since the start of 7th grade), Bunta had his son deliver tofu every early morning to a hotel lake resort at the top of Mount Akina, yet subtly instilled advanced driving techniques, honing Takumi with skills he wasn't aware of. Once news about an [=AE86=] defeating Keisuke Takahashi in his RX-7 reaches the street racing underground, Takumi is thrust into its subculture, winning race after race against the most skilled drivers in the Gunma Prefecture. After graduating from high school, he joins Ryosuke Takahashi's newly created team called "Project D" to further hone his skills and challenge new racers beyond Gunma.
Before joining Project D, Takumi works part-time at a gas station managed by Bunta's old friend Yuichi, alongside his best friend Itsuki Takeuchi. At the beginning of the series, Takumi has little to no knowledge of cars, claiming disinterest in the subject, but slowly learns more about how cars operate and their different drivetrains. As a racer, Takumi depends on instinct rather than intellect: he's able to visualize the road and take the fastest line and point of entry at turns in any condition, provided he has driven it enough times. His mild-mannerisms and focused nature behind the wheel of the [=AE86=] makes him unpredictable against new opponents, who fall prey to his unorthodox methods and driving techniques.

to:
The 43 year-old father to Takumi and proprietor of the Fujiwara Tofu Shop, Bunta makes his living by selling tofu to a hotel resort at Lake Akina at the top of Mount Akina. Unknown to his son, Bunta is actually a street racer and holds the fastest, recorded downhill run on Mount Akina. Though he no longer races, he secretly guides Takumi and molds him into an exceptionally skilled driver. At the same time, he occasionally tweaks the settings of the [=AE86=] to not only suit Takumi's style, but give him an edge against his challengers. After he hands ownership of the Trueno to his son upon joining Project D, Bunta purchases an Impreza for his own use.
Bunta's method of training is surreal: placing a cup of water in the cupholder of the [=AE86=], he advises Takumi not to spill a drop to prevent the tofu from breaking apart, but is actually a means to learn advanced drift techniques. After he buys the Impreza, he has Takumi alternate between the Trueno and his car for deliveries. Doing this will show Takumi the strength of modern vehicles and the advantages of an all-wheel drive ([=AWD=]), another strategy to improve his skills.

A racing team largely comprised of former Akagi [=RedSuns=] members, Project D is formed by Ryosuke after Takumi graduates from high school. The explicit goal of Project D is to challenge other racing teams from prefectures outside of Gunma, while setting new records on the opposing team's home course, using the best drivers from Gunma. According to Ryosuke, the expedition will develop their drivers' skills to new and further heights than ever before. Unlike other racing teams (largely hobbyist in nature), Project D is fundamentally technical: a convoy of support vans with mechanics and tuners are assigned to its racing vehicles, while the support staff will scout the next course and record it for its drivers to study before tackling it.
Led by Ryosuke, Project D is comprised of Takumi and Keisuke, the respective downhill and uphill drivers, Kenta Nakamura, Hiroshi Fumihiro, Shuichi Matsumoto and Tomiguchi. Tropes common to all team members are:

One of the most skilled and technical drivers in the series, 23 year-old Ryosuke is the older brother of Keisuke. The eldest son of the wealthy Takahashi family, he is studying to become a doctor at his father's clinic, currently enrolled in medicine at university, but considers street racing as his greatest passion. Having been featured on the cover of racing magazines, Ryosuke is called the "White Comet of Akagi", due to his white FC. Before forming the [=RedSuns=], he was also dubbed the "Lone White Comet", as he refused to join local racing teams. After being defeated in a race against Takumi, Ryosuke considers retirement from the street racing scene and estimates he has about a year left. Instead, he forms Project D, coaching and leading the team during their journey to defeat new opponents outside of Gunma.
Like a professional racer, Ryosuke considers technical data as important as practical information, and is one of the few drivers with equally matching skills to that of a mechanic. For example, he can deduce the kind of modifications made to a car simply by hearing its performance on the road. Always calm and composed, Ryosuke never breaks into anger, with his deductions and strategies against competing drivers being the most insightful and well-sought by his peers. He holds street racing in the highest regard, claiming it has its merits, like its professional circuit counterpart, something his rival Kyoichi Sudo is against.

%%Do not spoiler tag trope names.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: The Fujiwaras - anyone seated next to Takumi will not only witness his skills firsthand, but will likely faint. Poor Koichiro Iketani passes out after ''three corners''. Bunta, on the other hand, takes this UpToEleven. What can you say about a driver who [[spoiler:''[[BeyondTheImpossible lights up a cigarette in the middle of a drift]]]]''????
