Takuto Ashikiba

School: Hakone Academy 3rd year Cyclist Type: Climber Bicycle: Wilier Triestina

Ashikiba is gentle and emotional but a bit of an airhead, as exemplified when he mistakes Imaizumi for various other members of team Sohoku and is easily deceived by his teammate Kuroda. He is eager to impress Shinkai and Fukutomi. While racing against Teshima in the Minegayama Hill Climb, he becomes emotional and joyous to the point of tears.
