Tsuchisaka Lancer Evolution Team

Tsuchisaka Lan Evo Team

Otherwise known simply as the "Men in Evos", this team, composed of two Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions, challenged Project D on Tsuchisaka and are secondary antagonists in Initial D 4th Stage and the manga. They race for money, and they win by all means necessary (including cheating). When they were defeated by Project D, they asked a bunch of bosozoku gangsters to beat them up, without knowing that these gangsters they called were actually from the Gunma area (the base of Project D), and former subordinates of Keisuke Takahashi. As a result, for the humiliation, the gangsters turned on the losers and were interrogated by them for what they did before being informed by Fumihiro that they'll have trial runs cancelled because Keisuke's FD got damaged. It is unknown what happened to them after they were interrogated by the gangsters, but it can be assumed that they may have been beaten up by the bosozoku gang members or arrested by the police for their actions. They are similar to Team Emperor because of their cars, but what makes them different from Team Emperor is their use of dirty tactics, and their behavioral traits being more similar to racing criminals. Their home turf is Tsuchisaka.
