SSR Gold Ship and SR Hishi Amazon Support Cards have excellent End Closer skills and should be considered for your build. 

Legacy

Although Narita Taishin only has a “D” aptitude rating for Mile races, she is also recommended for the Mile events because of her unique skill and the abundance of good Medium and Long distance runners. To use her for Mile races, you will have to create or borrow a Legacy with more than 3 stars of Mile Sparks

To use her for Medium or Long races, find Legacies with 6-9 Sparks in either Speed, Stamina, or Power. If they have Sparks for the race distance you are training for, that’s a bonus, as the trainee will have a chance to gain “S” aptitude rank for those events.

Skills 

Narita Taishin needs a high volume of Speed skills to activate in the late race to propel her to the front of the pack. The Stamina stats recommended for each race distance don’t meet the Stamina requirements for the races. To supplement the stat, invest in several normal or a couple of rare Stamina skills. 

  • Reach Potential Level 5 to unlock ‘Encroaching Shadow,’ the best rare End Closer Skill. Narita Taishin is the only character with access to this skill. 
  • Invest in at least one rare Stamina recovery skill for Mile and Medium races. Two rare Stamina recovery skills for Long Races. 
  • Look for skills that increase speed on the final corner and in the last spurt.
    • Homestretch Haste
    • Inside Scoop
    • Steadfast
  • Complete the loadout with low-cost skills that increase speed on straights. They are valuable since they have a high chance of activating on the final straight.
    • End Closer Straightaways
    • Unyielding Spirit
    • Medium Straightaways
    • Long Straightaways
