Age: 44
Car: AE86 Levin

A retired legend, having raced on Haruna and made a name for himself back in the late 70's and early 80's. Has been training up his son Ren ever since his mother passed away 6 years ago. He's as old school as you can get. He's a wise mentor to his son when it comes to driving, but seems to struggle in the more normal avenues of life. Not much of a talker himself, Takeshi is a man who enjoys his private time. Raises his voice rarely and has a slight gravel to his voice being a chronic smoker. Has worked as a mechanic for over 20 years.

- Has a limited amount of patience, naturally a bit tense due to money being tight.
- A bit carefree about anything other than racing, there's still a passion for it but he's quote 'had his fair share already'.
- Closed off emotionally and trying to figure out how to connect with Ren.
