Tomoyuki Tachi (舘 智幸 Tachi Tomoyuki, known as Touch in the English localisation of the Arcade Stage games) is a professional racer and a graduate, or "old boy" (shortened to OB), of the Todo School.
History[]
Project D - Tochigi[]
He was brought in to have a rematch against Project D on Happogahara, after they were defeated by them. Tomoyuki took Daiki Ninomiya's EK9 and beat Takumi Fujiwara's downhill record in one try, without pushing the car to the limit. Tomoyuki agreed to use the school's top car, the Spoon-tuned demonstration EK9, at Happogahara.
Todo and Tomoyuki worked together to get the most out of the car to compete with the FD on the straights, but surprisingly, Ryosuke decided to send out the Eight-Six. He lost the race to Takumi when he steered off the centre of the road to avoid hitting a cat that crossed the street near the finish line. Because of this dodging he creates enough space for Takumi to pass him in his Eight-Six. Afterwards, Takumi asks Tomoyuki why he suddenly created space for Takumi to pass. Tachi responded that he thought he saw something cross the road and because of his racing reflexes immediately dodged it. Takumi's headlights were turned off as part of his technique. After the battle he praises Takumi for winning the battle, explaining that luck was on his side'. Afterwards Tomoyuki tells Todo that found out what he was trying to show him for bringing into the battle.
Kanagawa Expedition[]
Later on him along with Daiki and Smiley is seen at Kanagawa Prefecture, spectating Project D's final battle against the Sidewinder.
Trivia[]
- He attended the Todo School with Emperor leader Kyoichi Sudo.
- Tomoyuki has a habit of scratching his nose.
- Tomoyuki's professional racing suit appears to be based on the red racing outfit that Tetsuya Yamano wore when he competed in the Super Taikyu series as a part of Team Kunimitsu in 1998[2][3]. Yamano mentions this in the interview with him in the book "Initial D THE MESSAGE".
- The color of the suit varies between different adaptations. In the anime the suit is green, akin to the one famously worn by Keiichi Tsuchiya. However, in the games where he wears the suit (Special Stage, Extreme Stage, Arcade Stage Zero) it is red like Yamano's.
- Tomoyuki is also a playable character in Arcade Stage 8 Infinity in the Rival Side mode.
- In the Arcade Stage series, Tomoyuki will be shocked if the player performs a blind attack.[citation needed]
- Tomoyuki's voice actor Kazuhiro Nakata previously voiced Keiichi Tsuchiya's senior in Initial D Extra Edition - Drift King Youth Graffiti.
- Kazuhiro Nakata first voiced Tomoyuki in Initial D Special Stage in 2003, prior to his appearance in Fourth Stage.
