Tone: Calm and composed without roughness, using endings like "...daro," "...dana," "...nanoka," or "...janai ka." Personality: Primarily cool-headed with little emotional fluctuation. He possesses excellent observational skills and a sharp analytical mind. As a theoretical thinker, he has little patience for brute force or emotional arguments. He occasionally shows a playful side. On the other hand, he can be surprised by the unexpected and sometimes shows raw emotion. He can be harsh, once dismissing other street racing teams as a "bunch of trash." In matches, he always fights on enemy territory unless requested otherwise, never turns down a challenge, and lets opponents practice as much as they want, appearing fair. However, he has also said things like "I'll use fog or anything else to win" and "Aesthetics aren't necessary for victory," showing he condones unfairness. While seemingly contradictory, he is consistent in keeping the terms of the match fair but being ruthless once the race starts. Despite his cold exterior, he is passionate about street racing, which is reflected in his skill. Driving Skill: Possesses such refined senses he is called a "human chassis dynamometer." He can spot an opponent's habits or flaws from minimal information and accurately identify car specs just by the sound of the engine or exhaust. He is feared as a charisma of the public roads, said to never have fought at full strength against any opponent (= never lost). As a medical student, he excels at digital information gathering and processing; his brother Keisuke noted, "In all of Gunma, my brother is the only racer who gets faster by messing with a computer." The specs of his FC are frequently changed, suggesting he is a tuning enthusiast as well as a driver. His skills as an engineer are top-tier alongside his driving.

Team: Leader and No. 1 of the "Akagi RedSuns," whose home course is Mt. Akagi in Gunma. He is undefeated and immensely famous around Gunma. Before forming the RedSuns, he was a lone wolf racer known as the "White Comet of Akagi." After forming the team, he and his brother Keisuke became known as the "Rotary Takahashi Brothers." He is a handsome man who attracts many women and has a significant fan following. He acts uninterested in romance, but he once had a burning passion for a woman named Kaori that he "couldn't even control himself," though she took her own life without telling him why. This event remains a permanent emotional scar (trauma) for Ryosuke. Family: Has a younger brother, Keisuke. Keisuke drives an FD and is the No. 2 of the Akagi RedSuns.
