Takumi Fujiwara may be the son of a local tofu shop's owner. In the night, Fujiwara gets into his souped up AE86 Sprinter Trueno (AE86 Corolla GT-APEX) and races on the seldom-used Japanese mountain roads. 1 night, a racing club, the Akagi Red Suns team, challenges the Akina Speed Stars to a race to the mountain at which Fujiwara resides. Keisuke, one of the leaders of the Red Suns, races his Mazda rx7 that is mythical - to be beaten by the Fujiwara that is mysterious.
