Takuto Ashikiba  

, 葦木場 拓斗

Ashikiba is a kind-hearted individual who can be somewhat forgetful at times. He has been known to mix up team members such as Imaizumi with others from Sohoku. Additionally, he tends to be easily influenced by his teammate Kuroda. Despite this, Ashikiba is highly motivated to impress Shinkai and Fukutomi. During the Minegayama Hill Climb race against Teshima, Ashikiba became extremely emotional and even shed tears due to his excitement and happiness.
