Is the owner of the gas station that Takumi Fujiwara and his friends worked in. An old friend of Bunta Fujiwara's and a racer in his youth, Yuichi acts like a father figure to the Akina SpeedStars. His 1994 Toyota Camry (V40) appears in the first episode of Initial D First Stage while Takumi (assumed to be Bunta by Yuichi) passes Yuichi on a downhill run in Akina.
The Toyota Camry is an automobile sold internationally by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota since 1982, spanning multiple generations. Originally compact in size (narrow-body), later Camry models have grown to fit the mid-size classification (wide-body)—although the two sizes co-existed in the 1990s. Yuichi Tachibana is the owner of a 1994 narrow body Toyota Camry.
