Itsuki “Suki” Fukuhara, born on 18^th of August 1999 in Osaka, Japan. Son of a construction worker while his mother is a nurse. Itsuki’s family wasn’t wealthy but still managed to live a normal life.

 

 

Kousuke Ueno, born on 14^th of May 1999 in Osaka, Japan. Son of a mechanic while his mother is a house-wife. Kousuke’s family wasn’t doing well as Itsuki’s but they managed as well to live a decent life.

 

Backstory

 

Itsuki’s early interaction with Kousuke consists of his dad paying frequent visits to the neighbouring garage, Ueno’s, for minor repairs in his stock unstable Warrener. As time passes, and after the 4^th-5^th visit the acquaintanceship between Itsuki’s dad and Kousuke’s dad promotes as they agree on allowing Itsuki’s father to drop Kousuke home as well while bringing his son home after school.

 

Itsuki pursued his studies at the Osaka International School, with his close friend Ueno, Kousuke. Kousuke was the type of character to find car enthusiasts in school and spark up discussions about cars, especially of the JDM culture, as Itsuki wouldn’t fill the contentment Kousuke has from enjoying it. Itsuki wanted to blend in with the conversation but ends up making a Kousuke a victim of his bullying publicly, causing issues to their friendship. Itsuki’s regression of losing Kousuke as his friend lead to his lack in his studies and focus more into studying about vehicles with the intention of enjoying a conversation out of mutual interest.

 

As more as Itsuki began studying the Japanese car culture, his interests and passions in the field flourish to expand across the JDM car culture. Being fit enough, engages in conversation with Kousuke with an attempt to mend the friendship they once had. Kousuke seeming to be convinced, introduced Itsuki to the scene by having him take his dad’s Warrener to visit a car show being hosted at about 11 PM and watch The Kanjozoku, Osaka’s infamous group of racers. Without hesitation, Itsuki agrees to it and does so as told, takes the Corolla after patiently waiting for his parents to fall asleep and makes his way towards the location pre-discussed.

 

The day goes well, Itsuki and Kousuke seem to be having their attention drawn and fixated on the uniquely JDM modified cars ranging from Blista’s with K20 engine swaps with AEM EMS Standalone engine-management systems by The Kanjozoku’s influence, to Jester’s with 3.2L C32B engines. The trip was taken through the Kanjo with multiple other vehicles, Itsuki intentionally tries to keep up with the group in his dad’s rusty Warrener while Kousuke’s seated as a passenger. Not after driving long, shifting to the fifth gear at 7,000 RPM(Redline) spat out an audible knock from the engine. The engine was blown as the valve was closing and the pistons were rising faster than normal, colliding into each other.

 

Kousuke calling his father to the Kanjo after a couple of hours contemplating, towed the car back to their garage, dropping Itsuki on the way home. Days pass by silently, Itsuki walking to school while his father taking the bus to work – Completely disappointed of Itsuki’s actions, the Warrener needed a new engine to replace the blown one. Months later, it was later replaced with a reconditioned 1496 cc 5K-J engine. Itsuki let Kousuke know how much of a disappointment he became to his family and didn’t want to get involved with the scene again, focusing on his studies more and became an exemplary student till graduation.

 

After the graduation, the duo decided to study at the same institute for the University of San Andreas, Los Santos degree, but in two separate fields. Itsuki focused more into the programming field, obtain the Bachelor’s of Engineering, Software Engineering degree while Kousuke focused on the Bachelor’s of Engineering, Automotive Engineering degree to expand his knowledge, receive the much-needed exposure from working at his dad’s garage with him – following the passion he has for cars.

 

After completing two years of their degree at the institute, they’re required to complete the final year at ULSA in Richman, Los Santos. With the support from the Institute of a 49 percent scholarship to ULSA, their parents invested their savings and obtained loans from the bank to cover up the rest of the funds. Itsuki’s uncle, a hardware store owner called in the duo to LS and settle at an apartment of his in Little Seoul.
