Unlike his friends, Takumi Fujiwara is not particularly interested in cars, with little to no knowledge about the world of car enthusiasts and street racers. The son of a tofu shop owner, he is tasked to deliver tofu every morning without fail, driving along the mountain of Akina. Thus, conversations regarding cars or driving in general would only remind Takumi of the tiring daily routine forced upon him.

A tofu delivery boy becomes a mountain legend, outpacing Kanto's fiercest street racers.
Takumi Fujiwara spends his mornings ferrying tofu up the treacherous twists of Mount Akina, a job that turns his humble sedan into an unwitting weapon. Uninterested in the flash and bravado of the local street‑racing scene, he treats the mountain as just another delivery route—until the night a notorious crew, the Akagi Red Suns, rolls into town. Led by the charismatic brothers Ryousuke and Keisuke Takahashi, the Red Suns are on a conquest to dominate every mountain pass in Kanto, and they view Akina as their next trophy. During a reckless downhill sprint, one of the brothers is suddenly eclipsed by an aging Toyota AE86, piloted by a silent, unassuming teen who seems to glide through the hairpin turns with an almost supernatural feel for the road. The encounter sparks a rivalry that forces the Takahashi duo to confront a driver who has never spoken about cars, yet possesses an instinctive mastery born from countless, unnoticed runs up the same slopes. As the Red Suns plot their next assault, Takumi is drawn deeper into the underground world of mountain duels, discovering that his routine deliveries have forged a skill set far beyond any formal training. Each race becomes a lesson in precision, trust, and the raw poetry of asphalt, setting the stage for a legend that will rev the hearts of street‑racing fans for years to come.
