Wasn't he also the one that convinced Toyota brass they needed to put the D4-S system on the car even though that meant basically showing Subaru their tech?
Yeah, it’s not only D4-S, but a lot of skills and knowledge. He help build better boxer engine... both Toyota & Subaru were stubborn & not willing to help each other. This is why 86 was delay few times. Him & his team have been mocked & laughed at. Some teammate couldn’t take it & some quit midway before see the fruit of their work.

Now, Toyota is trying to cut off those PR ppl & let Tomoyama as main PR person. So after Tada-san is gone, we won’t find out who did what anymore.
