"Anything can happen at this point. As long as you step on the gas."
―Takayuki Kuroki

Kuroki is a former member of the R200 Club. He quoted R200 club because he wanted to enjoy the'illegal'ride on Wangan,but other R200 members wanted to change to 'legal' racing[citation needed].

Kuroki is seemingly very interested in defeating the Blackbird.

Character[]

A devoted student of street racing, Kuroki spends hours just analyzing his vast storehouse of data and coming up with strategies. He staunchly believes in the superiority of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 and refuses to drive anything else. His intellect is formidable, and he puts his plans into motion with absolute precision and confidence. He's one of the very few drivers who managed to get a clean one-on-one victory over Tatsuya Shima but, when facing Akio, the engine overheated and blew causing Akio to pull him into a stop. Also, he is fiercely independent, and not associated with ANY tuners like some of his rivals. He shows up relatively late in the manga and quickly becomes a ubiquitous figure. Formerly a member of the R200 club before they disbanded.
