Biography

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Morimoto was a high-school student from Tokyo who often engaged in street racing at nights, driving a golden Nissan Fairlady Z33, and was also the right-hand of his best-friend and Tokyo's "Drift King" Takashi. As such, he was also part of Takashi's involvement with the Yakuza led by the latter's uncle Kamata.

At somepoint, Morimoto along with Takashi come into conflict with the newly-arrived Sean Boswell after Takashi's ex-girlfriend Neela develops a crush on him. Morimoto then witnesses Takashi easily defeat Sean in a street race and mockingly laughs at Sean for damaging the car that he borrowed from Takashi's apparent business partner, Han Seoul-Oh. Soon enough, Morimoto begins to hassle Sean on several occasions and even beats up his friend Twinkie at school for allegedly stealing his phone. Eventually, Sean begins to adapt to street racing from Han's teaching and he ends up racing Morimoto one night; Sean ultimately wins and Morimoto cries in despair with the resulting outcome.

Eventually, Takashi begins to clash with Sean and he beats him up for seeing Neela - to which Morimoto gleefully watches along with Takashi's other henchman. When Takashi later finds out that Han appears to be double crossing him, he seeks to confront him and Morimoto goes along to aid him. Takashi contemplates on shooting Han when Twinkie causes a distraction, which allows Han to flee whilst Sean punches Morimoto to stop him from responding. Sean and Neela get in his car as Morimoto blocks their path, only to end up getting run over; Morimoto gets back up and rushes back to his car along with Takashi to pursue Han and Sean and Neela through the streets of Tokyo.

As the chase continues, Morimoto seeks a chance to ram into Sean's car and repeatedly tries to slam him against the wall, but is forced to avoid the oncoming traffic, only to end up running into oncoming cars from the other side of the road; Morimoto could only scream in fear before he crashes his car into a Toyota Aristo, and is consequently killed as the other cars ram into his vehicle and Takashi is forced to leave him behind amid pursuing the others onwards.
