Yuichi Tachibana

Yuichi Tachibana (立花 祐一 Tachibana Yūichi, "Boss") is the owner of the gas station that Takumi Fujiwara and his friends worked in. An old friend of Bunta Fujiwara's and a racer in his youth, Yuichi acts like a father figure to the Akina SpeedStars.

His 1994 Toyota Camry (V40) appears in the first episode of Initial D First Stage while Takumi (assumed to be Bunta by Yuichi) passes Yuichi on a downhill run in Akina.

Also can we please note how he has a seizure on act 24 in First stage? (this is a joke lol)

Yuichi is absent from Fifth Stage, though he later appears in Final Stage.

Profile
