Weaknesses: Ryuji has trouble focusing on driving when he is in the lead. He has the ability to drive under presure, but tends to crack up if things get too high.
Personality: Ryuji is an impressive driver, but a bit of a unconfident/impatient person. He knows that his skill is on par with other 4WD drivers, but still feels inferior to them, this drives him to always push his car to the limit.
History: Ryuji grew up in the automotive scene. His father, who is a owner of a local speed shop, raised him solo, teaching him the fundimentals of tuning. Ryuji grew up facinated with cars and as he grew up, and his interest only grew more when he purchased his Evo IV at the age of 18. He started a team called the Akina Speeders shortly after and began to make a break into the touge racing scene.
He has always been facinated with the drifting tecnique, seeing to master the technique and give his team an edge over others, he constantly takes his team to the local Mt. Akina to practice drifting. Eventualy after months of close calls and mounds of worn tires, Ryuki and his team felt confident enough to take on the other established teams and let them know that they had another threat to worry about.
