KASSEN -Proposal — NINJA vs. Drifting Cars — KASSEN A Brand-new Performance Made in Japan by Japanese Beginning Thank you for the oppotunity to propose our planning of performance this time. Japanese automotive industry which has the world top share in the field of manufucturing, sales, export of the car is making efforts for industrial development facing many problems including environmental issue with change of times. On the one hand, “loss of interest in cars” is coming up in Japan in the cause of depression, change of lifestyle, environmental protection. “Drift”was born in Europe as a driving method, but Japan developed it as a“sport” That has influenced to the technical improvement of domestic car, and the development of related industries. And now “Drift” has established as a new motor sport in the world, and it is said that Japanese drivers have the world best techniques. We developed “Drift” not only as a motor sport and also as the “entertainment show” and mixed the “NINJA action” which is the world famous hero born in Japanese history. We focus on the common point of “Made in Japan”even if different age, and now propose this bold and risky performance which is unprecedented before. We think this content has topicality both in Japan and abroad, and it is supposed to be useful for the promotion of many kinds of industry. Director, Yuri Kuroda Origins Two Promotion Units as Japanese Representative Since Great East Japan Earthquake happened in March 2011, Japan had been great damaged society as a whole and confused how we should revive. On the same summer, “Drift”and “Ninja” took each part in “INTERAUTO MOSCOW” which was the biggest car show in Russia as promotion team of the company “YOKOHAMA Tire Russia”. “Drift” [Team Orange/Fukushima] promoted the performance and quality of the tire in their demonstration driving, on the one hand “Ninja” [Edo Wonderland/Tochigi] promoted the mobility and sense of speed of the tire in their action performance with Japanese spirits. They were each what was called the Japanese representative simbol. Car drift performance by Team Orange Ninja action performance by Edo Wonderland Both collaboration show was born in Moscow on this time. The Origin of Idea is “The Culture Originated in Japan” We tried to mix both culture originated in Japan and perform experimentally on the spot, it gave pleasure to all Russian participants and audience there. It was the moment that we expressed not only quality and image of “Made in Japan”and also unity power for the restoration of Japan. In this way, “A brand-new performance made in Japan by Japanese”was born, and it was supporsed to be increase the precision more. Evolution and Feature KASSEN means Battle. The Bold Direction of the Battle Between Car and Ninja. After this show was created in Moscow, it has been continued to perform at several events such as Tokyo Auto Salon, D1 Grand-Prix in Japan, and established the theme and title as “KASSEN” for overseas promotion. In June 2013, “KASSEN” was performed on the large scale in “Bangkok International Auto Salon” which is the biggest car show in Thailand, besides the DVD of the show was saled in Japan. Simple Story Authentic Technique of Drivers Artistry mixed Japanese Tradition The show goes with the simple story. The car and Ninja contact and meet at close range The dance performance on the car is fused precisely because drivers have reliable technique. Japanese tradition and one of the point of this show. Beauty of Unique Show Drift Pleasure Like the Game Syncronized car drifting is so beautiful and speedy. Ninja faces car with various weapons as if they are the characters in the game.

ВПЕРВЫЕ В АВТОСПОРТЕ: В детстве очень увлекался автомобилями, постоянно следил за ними, тянулся к технике, смотрел видео, и уже тогда осознавал, что куплю собственный. И не просто для езды, а чтобы КОМАНДА: его дорабатывать, строить, выступать на соревнованиях и достигать результатов. Именно с Жигулей - началось и с ними продолжилось увлечение автоспортом. Первые медали особенно вдохновляли, и уже сегодня дрифт перерос в серьёзное увлечение, сегодня он — это часть жизни. Начал участвовать в соревнованиях по дрифту в 2008 году и выступал практически на всех гонках, которые проходили в Москве и области. Типы гонок, в которых принимал участие до того, как серьёзно занялся дрифтом абсолютно разные: ралли-спринт, дрифт, драг, кольцевые гонки, time attack, картинг, любительское ралли, профориентирование, кантри-кросс, триал, муд-рейсинг.

  • 2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations 1
    2006 Formula D Championship Rules and Regulations THE FORMULA DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP Entering its third season, Formula Drift Championship, produced and owned by Irvine, Calif.-based Formula Drift, Inc., continues to expand into new markets as the first and only sanctioned and recognized North American professional drifting championship series (sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing). This high-skilled, high-powered motor sport where drivers intentionally maneuver their cars into well executed, controlled sideways slides at high speeds through a marked course, has more than 30 professional drivers competing in all six competitions this year. A well established sport in Japan for more than a decade, Formula Drift, Inc. and its sister company Slipstream Global Marketing, Inc. had the vision and were instrumental in bringing the first official competition to the United States in 2003 at Irwindale Speedway. The unanticipated fan interest led to the rapid formation of the first ever, sanctioned and recognized drifting circuit, Formula Drift, which had its roots firmly grounded in Southern California, a hotbed for incoming Japanese-influence automotive trends. An important part of the program involves community outreach. Drivers and Formula D serve as the ambassador for the sport of drifting bringing exhibitions to traditional or mainstream motor sports events across the country which has included: Bridgestone Monterey Grand Prix/Champ Car Race, USAC, NASCAR Busch North & Featherlite Southwest and the SPEED World Challenge, among others. In addition another 100-200 local team drivers will join in local markets to test their skills and techniques with the pros. Judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Drifting is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross.

How and what the main car cultures commonly known outside of Japan are as well as their sub car cultures. How these lesser known subcultures made their appearances in Japan, and how they’ve spread both domestically and internationally whilst both giving inspiration to foreign car cultures as well as being influenced by them as well. The intention of this thesis is to inform while connecting the different Japanese car cultures to certain points so as they diverge, they will still be associated with the core Japanese automotive history and the progress of it. How the prefectures, the state of Japan, geological aspects, rules and regulations all come together to form these subcultures as well as how the reader might be able to experience it in person. 3 Table of Contents Introduction ............................................................................................ 5 Introduction to Methodology ........................................................ 6 1.0 Japanese Automotive History ........................................................... 7 1.1 History of Public Cars and Roads ............................................... 10 1.1.2 The Kei-Car ........................................................................
