History
Despite being a member of a car club, Nobuhiko Akiyama's racing skills aren't as good as other racers, instead his strength comes in his use of technical data to improve other peoples cars and abilities.

When Project D heads to Sadamine, Nobuhiko represents his club on the downhill, although he was aware that he had no chance of winning against his opponent, Takumi Fujiwara, instead using the battle as a way to gather information on his opponent for future use, eventually using the data to recruit the professional rally driver Sakamoto to the newly formed Northern Saitama Alliance.
