Biography[]
He is in his fourth year of racing and believes that to win the MFG championship he needs a car that is fully armed with a large displacement engine, 4WD drive and electronic control. He wears sunglasses and a hoodie hood to hide his facial expressions, and is derided by Shun Aiba as "The Dark Lord of the Dark Side". Has his own fan site.
Yudai's rivalry with Shun stems from the first race at Atami Ghost in MFG, as both drivers retired after they crashed at the Kinomiya Bridge's tunnels[4]
