Оригінальне ім’я: 池谷浩一郎

(22 in Project D) __Car:__ Nissan S13 Silvia __Height:__ 175.3 cm __Weight:__ 59.9 kg __Likes:__ His beloved Silvia S13, when someone says they like the S13, Mako __Dislikes:__ Silvia S14, Silvia S15, Shingo, two guys from Tokyo Iketani is the leader of the Speedstars and drives an S13 Silvia. He has great pride in his racing team and cares for everyone, including some oppenents. He doesn't know how to drift, but he is working on the back-brake-skid. His driving skills are fairly weak and is scared when the car begins to skid. However, he is getting over his scare and is willing to try almost anything to improve his skills. Iketani is often called "senpai" by Itsuki and Takumi (because he is older than them and watches out for them most of the time). He also works at the Esso (GS in the anime) gas station with Takumi and Itsuki and loves to talk about cars non-stop! Iketani is one of those guys that are somewhat dense about women (his relationship with Mako) and often jumps to conclusions too early. However, he learns from his mistakes quickly and even under the heaviest pressures, tries to remain calm and collective.
