Takuto Ashikiba

An incredibly gentle yet somewhat airheaded third-year student at Hakone Academy, this talented climber is known for his deep emotions. Though he frequently confuses his teammate Imaizumi with others and is easily tricked by Kuroda, his passion for cycling is undeniable. Driven by a desire to impress Shinkai and Fukutomi, he displays raw vulnerability during intense races, famously erupting into tears of pure joy while competing against Teshima during the Minegayama Hill Climb.
