Fake Project D

Fake Project D were a duo of unnamed racers that briefly impersonated the real Project D in the Saitama region, until they were exposed by both Wataru Akiyama and Project D, who became aware shortly afterwards.

As their name suggest, they are impostors of both Takumi Fujiwara and Keisuke Takahashi, including mimicking their appearance and having the same cars but with no parts. They have also caused trouble within the people they impersonate, one example was when Takumi was falsely accused of breaking with a girl even though he never did which led to the girl's friend Mika Uehara slapping Takumi hard on his face regarding this supposed event.

Trivia
