slowly, neatly, he shows his love very subtle, he can't fall in love immediately, but can catch an interest for someno who he likes

"beautiful, sharp Asian features, tousled light brown hair, brown eyes with Asian slant and one eyelid, lean but muscular build"

He is known for his aggressive and risky style on the track.

The most recognizable element of his appearance is his car, the Mazda RX-7 FD3S, which he races.

During an impromptu battle in Takumi's delivery run, he was outpaced by him when he performed inertia drift. He lost again in their second battle and became obsessed with defeating him. Because of that, he doesn't want him to lose to anyone but him and his brother. However, he began to gain profound respect for him and convinced him to join Project D before he can rematch him and turn pro. He considers him a friendly rival.

Ryosuke Takahashi

He is his older brother. After being influenced by his racing skills, he decided to follow his footsteps and reason to become a professional racer. He co-founded the Akagi RedSuns and also helped his brother create Project D. Ryosuke would often coach him and prep talk in his battles.

Tsugumi

She is his younger cousin. She usually mocks at him and even causes some tantrums.

Unlike his older brother's calm demeanor, Keisuke is a hot-headed and passionate individual known for driving with his emotions and his dislike for losing. His pride was shattered when he was passed by a mysterious AE86 driven by Takumi Fujiwara during a practice run on Mount Akina. Unwilling to accept this loss, he returns to Akina to encounter the Eight Six again. In this second race, Keisuke is defeated once again. Since these defeats, Keisuke has consecrated himself towards improving his driving skills, one day hoping to face off against Takumi again.
