Biography
His friend and fellow racer Shingo Shoji, with help from Sayuki, set him up on a date with Mako Sato without her knowing. He and Mako hit it off and started to go on more dates together, he told Shingo about the dates they were going on while Mako didn't tell Sayuki.

On another date he took Mako out to go snowboarding. On their way up the mountain she compliments his Toyota MR2 that he drove her up in. He said that he wanted to quit racing and sell his MR2 for a more practical car like a 4WD SUV.

While on the ski lift at the resort, he asked Mako to quit racing with him and settle down because he was afraid of how dangerous it was and that she might get hurt.

On Christmas eve she asked him to come up to Usui Pass. He drove his MR2 up to the mountain, and thinking she wanted to race said that she would have to be crazy to think he would ever race her. So instead invited him to ride with her in the SilEighty while she drove on the mountain pass. He accepted her offer and afterwards he said it was some of the best driving he had ever seen and that she was probably better then both Shingo and Takeshi Nakazato combined.
