Kenta Nakamura (中村 賢太 or 中村ケンタ Nakamura Kenta, known as Kent in the Tokyopop version and the English version of Arcade Stage 4, and Danny in the English versions of Arcade Stage Ver. 2 and 3) is one of the youngest members of the Akagi RedSuns.
Kenta absolutely adores Keisuke Takahashi and is always eager to prove himself to Keisuke. Kenta was recognized by Keisuke himself for his driving skills, and has been somewhat taken under his wing. Kenta specializes in rain conditions, because he had a habit of practicing in the rain since the wet roads wouldn't wear his tires down as much.
He is also shown to be a scout for the RedSuns as shown in Second Stage when he was able to scout the Eight-Six during the time the engine was swapped and was able to inform the Rotary Brothers about the Shomaru battle between the two Eight-Sixes.
History[]
Before joining the RedSuns, he used to attack mountain passes in the rain because it helped to reduce tire wear, and he excels at battling in the rain.
White Ghost of Akina Arc[]
After the Keisuke and Ryosuke Takahashi's losses against Takumi Fujiwara, Kenta travels to Shibukawa to challenge him to a battle on Akagi. He mentions it in passing to Keisuke, who reminds him that the RedSuns only race on their opponents course. After Keisuke's battle with Takeshi Nakazato on Myogi, Kenta challenges Takumi to a downhill race in the rain. Ryosuke agrees to the race, fitting a camcorder into Kenta's car to capture footage of Takumi driving. Kenta does well at the beginning of the race, but is eventually overtaken by Takumi, and a previously unseen Lancer Evolution IV.
Emperor[]
Kenta spectated the RedSuns battle with Team Emperor.
The New Eight-Six[]
Wataru decides to have an impromptu battle with Keisuke, to which Kenta tries his best to follow both of them, but loses them.
Project D - Tochigi Arc[]
He drives the #2 van for Project D and mostly does the recon recording of courses before the team actually travels to the locations. Before he joined the Akagi RedSuns he purposely waited for rainy days to practice drifting.
Saitama and Ibaraki Arc[]
Kanagawa Expedition Arc[]
Kenta assisted Keisuke helping him pass Team Spiral’s Ryuji Ikeda in the start of a foggy high speed section near the end.
MF Ghost[]
Kenta is the Real Estate Department Chief of TK Mach Corporation.
Trivia[]
- In the Arcade stage series, Kenta will take revenge for Keisuke if the player defeats him first in Akagi.
- His voice actor, Kōsuke Okano, also voiced Junichi Sakamoto.
