Another driver and current student at the Todo School, Smiley Sakai (スマイリー 酒井, Sumairī Sakai) is one of Daiki's friends. He drives an Integra Type R DC2 that has been fitted with an aftermarket turbocharger.
Sakai competes against Keisuke from Project D in a hillclimb race.
His face tends to tense up while he is racing, making it appear as though he is smiling, which is the origin of his nickname, Smiley Sakai.
