Takumi Fujiwara (藤原拓海 Fujiwara Takumi, known as Tak in the Tokyopop version) is the main protagonist of Initial D.

He acts as the delivery boy for his father's tofu business, driving his father's Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX (AE86) up to the top of the mountain every night to deliver tofu to the businesses on top. After defeating Keisuke Takahashi in an impromptu battle he was nicknamed the "White Ghost of Akina" and began racing on his own, occasionally representing the Akina SpeedStars in battle. He was eventually invited to join Project D as their downhill ace.

Childhood
At the age of 13, Takumi was made to become the delivery driver for his father, Bunta's, tofu store. Although he was initially scared of driving, he eventually became accustomed to the task. Despite improving his skill drastically over the course of a year, he still found the task boring, and resented his father for making him drive, as it was a crime. In the second year of middle school, Takumi meets Itsuki Takeuchi, a talkative boy who would go on to be his best friend. Annoyed with his father's drinking and making him drive, Takumi decides to become a delinquent, wishing for his father to be arrested. His first act was driving without a license in public, however even after driving around for 2 hours, he was not caught due to his skill at driving. On his 14th birthday, Takumi stays over at Itsuki's house without telling Bunta, drinking and talking about his dad, but he feels bad when he says that his father doesn't love him. At 5AM the next morning, Bunta comes to pick Takumi up, telling him that he was worried for him and was waiting to celebrate his birthday with him. Bunta then takes Takumi on a downhill run on Akina before heading home.
