Description
Daigo Ōishi is a racer who participates in the MFG, the premier motorsport competition depicted in the series. He is recognized as a member of the elite "Divine Fifteen," the top-ranked drivers in the league, and enters events driving a Lamborghini Huracán bearing the number three. His background is that of a young man born into a wealthy and powerful family that are fervent Lamborghini supremacists, a factor that shapes his identity and approach to racing.
In terms of personality, Ōishi displays a strong, unwavering pride in his choice of car. He firmly believes that the Lamborghini, with its large-displacement naturally aspirated engine, represents the true king of supercars. This conviction leads him to actively dislike Kaito Akaba, as Akaba drives a turbocharged Ferrari 488 GTB, which Ōishi views as an inferior engineering philosophy. His family's financial backing, while beneficial for his racing career, also makes him a target of disdain from other drivers, including Shun Aiba, who harbor resentment toward those who rely on significant monetary resources.
Within the story, Ōishi's primary role is as a rival and one of the top-tier competitors that populate the MFG standings. He is a consistent presence on the track and a member of the "Divine Fifteen." His primary motivation appears to be upholding the honor and performance of the Lamborghini brand in the face of rivals and the series' unique regulations, which force him to struggle hard with the balance between raw power and maintaining grip due to the grip-to-weight ratio rules.
His key relationships are defined by his competitive environment. He shares a notable animosity with turbocharged car drivers, specifically Kaito Akaba, and is generally disliked by drivers like Shun Aiba, who look down on his wealth. On the track, he has engaged in battles with drivers such as Yudai Sakamoto, with whom he fought for position during a race, and he was notably overtaken by Mai Sakurano at a critical corner.
Daigo Ōishi undergoes some development as seen through his consistent participation. He is one of the few drivers who competed in all five rounds of the fourth MFG year without switching to a different car mid-season, demonstrating a commitment to his chosen machine. However, his performance is not without flaw, as he is also one of only three "Divine Fifteen" drivers to have retired from a race, indicating that his aggressive style or the challenges of balancing his powerful car can lead to setbacks.
His notable abilities center on piloting a high-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive supercar like the Lamborghini Huracán. While he possesses the skill to qualify and race within the top tier of the MFG, his driving is characterized by the ongoing struggle to master the car's immense power in accordance with MFG's technical regulations, which penalize high power-to-weight ratios with grip disadvantages.
