Live Action Info
Actor: Shawn Yue [Hong Kong actor]
General
Takeshi is the leader of the NightKids, and although he is friends with Ryosuke, he also sees him as a rival.
Personality
Unlike the Anime Takeshi, the Live Action Takeshi is more friendly and doesn't look like he's angry all the time. His personality is similar to the Live Action Ryosuke. Takeshi in the Live Action has basically replaced Keisuke (most likely because his car is more popular). His actions and personality matches up with Keisuke more than the Anime version of Takeshi.
Friends
He is friends with Ryosuke of the RedSuns and is later seen cheering for Takumi at the Kyouichi vs Ryosuke vs Takumi race.
Racing
Takeshi drives a GTR and drifts with it. The weight of his car keeps him from taking the best line in corners. Ryosuke will not race with him until he solves this problem.
Differences from the Anime
- The Live Action Takeshi is like a combination of Keisuke and Takeshi. In the Anime, he is not friends with Ryosuke.
- In the Anime, Takeshi looks down on drifting, thinking it's just for show. He is actually a grip driver, which does not involve drifting.
