Takumi eventually comes to love street racing, and driving altogether, and then he has only one priority: To become the best driver in the Gunma Prefecture. His friends learn about his skills, and introduce Takumi into the world of Touge racing. The deliveries train his extraordinary driving skills.

His father, Bunta Fujiwara, owns a tofu shop and Takumi is the delivery boy. The story is about 18 year old Takumi Fujiwara who is an average high school kid.
