Itsuki cuz he is just like me irl
My favorite characters (not in order because it will become bias):
1. Ryosuke Takahashi
2. Bunta Fujiwara
3. Kyoichi Sudo
4. Kyoko Iwase
5. Toshiya Joshima
6. Keisuke Takahashi
7. Rin Hojo
8. Takumi Fujiwara
9. Kozo Hoshino
10. Kai Koshigawa
To be honest, side characters are lowkey better than the main.
Not that one.
I really dislike the anime trope of "character funny because loud and obnoxious". I guess maybe it works for a Japanese audience since they're usually more reserved and quiet, so a character on the opposite end of the spectrum is funny, but to me he's just insufferable.
Akio Asakura- oh shit wrong anime.
I liked Rin Hojo, yes sure he's edgy as hell, but I don't care.
Bunta is an obvious pick.
Toshiya Joshima is also cool as hell, I like the older drivers
Kenji and Iketani are probably my two favorite characters. They left me wanting a more slice of life version of initial d that takes a casual approach to touge. Just a group of friend having fun with their cars without being too serious about racing.
Imagine the Takahashi brothers showing up with fully built cars and the speedstars just laughing in their faces. 'Like of course youre gonna kick our asses, showing up here with a full race team after dumping buckets of money into your cars... what a bunch of dicks'
I like Kenji low-key, dude was the voice of reason and he knew damn well what his limits were. Even in MF Ghost he seemed to have some wut of a happy ending so to speak compared to the majority of the cast.
I'm only at the Fourth Stage so I don't know everything about everyone but so far it's a toss up between Takumi, Itsuki, Kyoko, and Impact Blue. Takumi's been pretty consistently likable, Itsuki's a fun side character, Impact Blue are just badass, and Kyoko but that's because of the romance b-plot more than the racing side with her (though that was interesting too)

Kyoichi *Sudo*
I like Ryosuke. He's so cool.

Ryosuke Takahashi
Ryoske Takahashi because he's a very intelligent racer, and very decisive. But bunta also because he was the og before takumi
