The protagonist is a 19-year-old Japanese-British Kanata Livington, who was trained by Takumi Fujiwara, the protagonist of Initial D, at Royal Donington Park Racing School (RDRS), a prestigious British racing school. To find his missing father, he travels to Japan to take part in MFG, a closed-course car race on public roads, using sports cars powered by internal combustion engines. The characters in Initial D also appear as they have aged, or their names and biographies are mentioned in the story.
