About the story: Based on Japans real-world touge-heaven, Gunma Prefecture, in the late 90s, the infamous Japanese anime Initial Ds primary focus is on its most prominent character Takumi Fujiwara. Takumi is an eighteen-year-old delivery driver who transports tofu every day to the local hotel on the fictional Mount Akina. For the deliveries, he gets the opportunity to use his fathers 1983 Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex AE86, or Eight-Six, (AE86, or Hachi Roku) in the most stylish way imaginable. Providing the ultimate mix of touge drifting, Eurobeat, and an epic storyline, Initial D has become a legendary addition to the JDM and drifting world over the years. We think its pretty safe to say that Initial D and The Fast and the Furious have both played prominent roles when it comes to bringing drifting to the mainstream. While The Fast and the Furious attracted viewers across the world, Initial Ds main following resides in Japan, where theres a massive following for both anime and manga, but it has gone on to capture the hearts of the rest of the world since its introduction in 1995. The original manga series, which was illustrated and written by Shuchi Shigeno for the Weekly Young Magazine, went on to span across 48 tankbon volumes published by Kodansha Comics, which then went on to become the hugely popular TV show, and later re-created into a real-world movie. After five years of delivering tofu to the local hotel on the empty mountain roads of Mount Akina (based on the real-life Mount Haruna), Takumis skills behind the wheel earned him legendary status among the local driving scene.
