After defeating Keisuke of the famous Takahashi brothers, Takumi's next big challenge was against Nakazato and his powerful Nissan Skyline GT-R R32. Nakazato's favourite phrase is: "Drift Driving cant defeat grip driving", even though he was once a drifter himself. He changed both his car and driving style after suffering a shocking defeat by a grip driving, Nissan Skyline R32. He is the leader of the Myogi Night Kids Road Racing Team and is said to be the fastest driver on the Myogi mountain pass.
