Ichijo

Ichijo (一条 Ichijō), also known as the Man of Lan Evo VI (ランエボVIの男 Ran'ebo VI no otoko), or White Evil (白悪 Shiro Waru) is the downhill racer for the Tsuchisaka Lancer Evolution Team.

History
Prior to their race against Project D, he and Aikawa, wanting to promote a car shop they have, plan what they'll earn for their races; if they win both races, 500,000 yen, if each of them win one race, 250,000 yen, but if they don't win and its a tie, 50,000 yen. Ichijo then revealed to Aikawa that he never intended to race clean as they both plan to win dirty.

Unlike Aikawa, Ichijo is more cunning and tactful, in that he arranges for the oil spill on the road and bringing a group of gangsters (via another team member) to beat up Project D's members should Project D win. Although there is no mention of who the leader of this team is, it seems that Ichijo shows more of a leadership role than his teammate. Prior to his race against Takumi Fujiwara, he advises for Takumi to lose his match otherwise there will be dire repercussions.

As a racer, he is depicted as having poor braking skill. In the race with Takumi, he takes the runner position and leads for a fair share of the race until they hit the corner where the oil had been spilled earlier. Ichijo slips on a bit of the oil and slides to the outside, allowing Takumi to easily pass him and take the lead. There were plenty of chances to outrun him, but he was spooked by Takumi's drifting of the Trueno on the final corner. There he finds out that Takumi is a different, terrifying animal once he is driving, unlike the timid guy he tried to scare before the race.

Having lost the race, the Lan Evo team call on a bosozoku gang to beat up Project D as revenge for losing to them. However, he, Aikawa, and the rest of the Lan Evo team find out that Amada, their leader, is an old acquaintance of Keisuke Takahashi. As a result, the gangsters turned their backs on the losers.
