Wataru nonetheless shows him off which nearly caused an accident.

He and his brother are nicknamed The Rotary Brothers, as they both drive cars with rotary engines.

During the RedSuns expedition to Akina, he was defeated by Takumi Fujiwara in an impromptu battle, an event that helped kickstart Fujiwaras racing career and created a rivalry between the two.

He was invited by his brother to join Project D as their uphill ace.

Initial D Third Stage Trial On Mount

His pride was shattered when he encountered the mysterious AE86 during a practice trial on Mount Akina.

Unwilling to accept this loss, he continually traveled to Akina to encounter the Eight Six again.

Initial D Third Stage Driver And Future

He finally got his chance during the RedSuns race against the Akina SpeedStars when the AE86 driver and future rival Takumi Fujiwara arrived where he was defeated once again, since this defeat he has desired to have a rematch with Takumi until the time was right and both have become rivals since.

Under Ryosukes mentorship, he gained more experience as a racer with his skills dramatically improving and no longer driving with his emotions and controlling them.

When Keisukes FD broke down, she offered him to borrow hers in his next battle.

In the end, Keisuke turned her down reasonably because he wants to concentrate on his goal.

After being influenced by his racing skills, he decided to follow his footsteps and reason to become a professional racer.

He co-founded the Akagi RedSuns and also helped his brother create Project D.

During an impromptu battle in Takumis delivery run, he was outpaced by him when he performed inertia drift.

He lost again in their second battle became obsessed with defeating him.

Because of that, he doesnt want him to lose to anyone but him and his brother.

However, he began to gain profound respect for him and convinced him to join Project D before he can rematch him and turn pro.

He is idolised by him and would do anything to prove himself to him.

Just like Keisuke, he was part of the Akagi RedSuns (until the creation of Project D).

After both were unable to defeat Takumi in their battles with him, Nakazato challenges Keisuke in a rainy battle in Myogi in an uphill race.

Keisuke then corrects him that he used his skills to win the race fair and square.

He was his opponent prior to Ryosukes battle against Kyoichi.

Keisuke won that battle when he overtook Seiji in the S sections.

After his brothers victory against Sudo, he challenged him next but declined because it was against the RedSuns policy to not race on their own turf.
