His loss to Fukutomi is what caused him to develop an interest in bicycles, and Fukutomi is the one who encouraged him to move forward in his life (very literally telling him that the only way to successfully ride his bike was to "look forward" and relinquish all past ties). After losing a race on his moped against Fukutomi and joining the cycling team, Arakita later came to respect him, saying that Fukutomi is the only one he "acknowledges." This respect goes so far that Arakita does not become physically violent anymore nor pick fights simply by Fukutomi's orders. Arakita and Fukutomi had a disastrous first meeting, as Arakita insulted Fukutomi and even physically assaulted him.
