Shortly after graduating from high school,  Takumi is approached by RedSuns leader  Takahashi Ryousuke and offered to join him in forming a professional racing team. Before coming up with an answer to the proposal, Takumi seeks retribution by issuing a rematch to Emperor leader  Sudou Kyouichi, who previously defeated him due to an engine failure. He is also challenged by  Kogashiwa Kai, a second-generation street racer whose father was once a fierce rival of Takumi's father  Bunta.
