Racing career

Tachi was born in Suzuka, Japan. Kenji Mimura, the founder of Maki, has been his friend since their high school years. Originally, Tachi did not like automobiles because he would become carsick. But the influence of his friend led him to automobile racing.

Tachi began car racing in 1965 and became a factory-driver for Toyota from 1971.

In 1974, Tachi founded TOM'S with ex-Toyota dealer, Kiyoshi Oiwa. The name of "TOM'S" is an abbreviation of "Tachi", "Oiwa", and "MotorSports".

Tachi continued his career as a racing driver until 1982. After retirement, he occasionally returned to race but has usually concentrated on management of his company.
