Description
Kazuhiro Maezono is a professional racing driver who participates in the MFG competition, driving car number thirteen. He is an adult male with brown eyes and black hair cut to ear length, often seen with a beard and wearing a jumpsuit. As a competitor within the MFG, his primary focus is on achieving better results through technical adjustments and strategic choices regarding his vehicle.
Maezono’s background in the series is defined by his experimentation with different cars and his struggle to optimize his equipment. Initially, he competed using an NSX Concept, but he found it difficult to achieve the desired outcomes due to problems with the car's computer settings. Seeking a different approach, he switched to a Honda Civic Type R for the opening round. This change, however, presented its own challenges, as the high-power front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout led to significant front tire wear during the race. This issue, combined with pressure from other skilled drivers, resulted in him finishing in last place.
A key element of Maezono’s development is his adaptability and the collaborative work with his team. After the poor performance in the first round, he and his team decided to switch back to the NSX. Through continuous and dedicated adjustments, they succeeded in bringing the car to perfect condition by the time of the second round. This transformed the NSX into a machine capable of competing with the top-ranking racers, demonstrating his commitment to refining his tools rather than relying solely on driving ability. Evidence of this improvement can be seen in his race results, as he placed fourteenth in the first round but climbed to fifth place in the second round.
Regarding his motivations and role in the wider story, Maezono is portrayed as a determined competitor who is notably one of the few racers who uses a Japanese car and is not already established in the top ten rankings from the previous year. His relationships with other characters are primarily defined by on-track competition, such as being challenged by the techniques of the Yajikita siblings and the protagonist Kanata during the opening round. No detailed information is available regarding his personal background, specific personality traits beyond his evident persistence, or his interactions with characters outside of racing scenarios.
