General
Itsuki is Takumi's best friend and is the leader of the SpeedStars. He strives to be a world champ racer.
Personality
Itsuki is like Takumi's opposite - loud and obnoxious. He speaks before he thinks, often wording things poorly and getting himself into trouble.
Friends and Family
As mentioned, Itsuki is Takumi's best friend. He is also interested in a girl that works at his father's gas station, Miya. His father is Yuichi who owns the gas station Takumi works at. Itsuki is his only son so Yuichi spoils him. Even if he can't get want he wants, Itsuki finds a way to blackmail his father.
Racing
Itsuki is the leader of the SpeedStars but isn't very talented in racing. His car isn't very steady when entering and exiting corners. He starts out with a S13, but later gets a hachi roku.
Differences from the Anime
- Since the movie did not cast someone to be Iketani, the Live Action version of Itsuki is like a combination of Iketani and Itsuki. The leader of the SpeedStars is supposed to be Iketani, who is also the one who owns the S13.
- Itsuki doesn't work at the gas station in the movie, but in the Anime, he does. His father is also not Yuichi.
- Itsuki's first car is a hachi go. He meant to get a hachi roku but got a hachi go by mistake.
- Itsuki's first love interest was Saori and then later, Kazumi. There was never a Miya.
