Atsurou Kawai

Atsurou Kawai is the hillclimb racer and the leader of the Tochigi-based "Seven Star Leaf". He seems to be a decent enough driver, again favouring the grip racing techniques, but his mastery of it is uncomparable to that of Takeshi Nakazato. His car is powered up to 400 hp.

Atsurou races against Keisuke during Project D's first expedition in Tochigi.
