Storyline
Takumi Fujiwara is an average 18-year old high school student with an average job as a gas station attendant, and a not-so-average hand in the family business. To help his father's tofu shop, Takumi has been delivering tofu in his father's 'Eight-Six' Trueno (known as the Toyota Corolla GT-S in the US) to a hotel at the peak of Mt. Akina (the local mountain), every night at 4 a.m. In doing so, Takumi has been unknowingly training to be the greatest mountain-pass drift-racer in all of Japan. After a freak late-night encounter with Keisuke Takahashi, the number two driver of the infamous RedSuns team, Takumi is quickly, and unwillingly plunged into a high-speed world of white-knuckle contests on the most dangerous mountain passes in the Gunma prefecture. Assisted by the local Akina Speedstars team, his slightly obnoxious friend Itsuki, his somewhat shady girlfriend Natsuke and the sage-like words of his chain-smoking... Written by Nathan J Rossberg

Trivia
Throughout the series, the characters use chassis codes to refer to cars rather than actually saying the name of the car. This is common drifter-slang to easily refer to a car and its year without having to give a drawn out explanation. The S13 refers to the RPS13 SR20DET Nissan Silvia (Japan only) made from 1989-1994. The Silvia made between 1995 and 1998 was an S14, and 1999 to present is the S15. R32 refers to the BNR32 Nissan Skyline (Japan only) made from 1989-1994. FC refers to the FC3S Mazda RX-7 made from 1986-1992. FD refers to the FD3S Mazda RX-7 made from 1992-2002. EG6 refers to the EG6 Honda Civic 3-door hatchback made from 1992-1995. And most importantly, 86 (or 'Eight-Six') refers to the AE86 Toyota Sprinter Trueno, known in the U.S. as the Toyota Corolla GTS, made from 1983-1986 (the Trueno is also known as the hachi-roku, however 'hachi' and 'roku' are just the literal Japanese words for 'eight' and 'six').

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In his race with Shingo, Takumi clips a corner, audibly smashing off one of his rear lights, yet the next shot shows the back of his car with no visible damage. See more »Connections
