His role as Haruka Asahina is described as follows: an F4 driver with Komaki Motors who is a quiet high school student. He stubbornly remarks, “I don’t need any support,” and he earnestly moves forward to achieve his dream of standing on the podium. He lodges at the Komaki household and has a part-time job delivering newspapers.
Katsuyuki Konishi will voice the role of Kouya Madoka. Unlike his co-star, Konishi has a long history of experience with plenty of big roles.
