Fans of the legendary manga Initial D are in for a treat! A special booth immersing visitors in the world of the series is currently set up at the “TOKYO SUPER CAR DAY” area in South Hall 3 of the “Japan Mobility Show 2025,” held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exciting display is brought to you by “CAMSHOP.JP,” a lifestyle brand focused on cars, making their debut at the event. The highlight? An actual AE86 Trueno, affectionately known as a Hachi-Roku, is on display, ready to transport you straight into the thrilling mountain passes.

Initial D: A Legacy of Speed and Passion

Initial D, a motorsports manga by Shigeno Shuuichi, captivated readers from 1995 to 2013 in “Young Magazine.” The story follows the journey of protagonist Fujiwara Takumi, who, alongside his beloved AE86, known as the Hachi-Roku, battles various street racers in his quest to become the “fastest on the public roads.” When the TV anime adaptation began airing in April 1998, its intense car racing scenes deeply resonated with many young people and car enthusiasts, becoming a massive hit that spawned five seasons and even theatrical films.

From Initial D to MF Ghost and Beyond

Building on this legacy, MF Ghost continued the saga, depicting “MFG,” a real-world public road car race battle set in the near-future world of Initial D. This series ran from 2017 to 2025 in “Young Magazine” and is eagerly anticipating the broadcast of its 3rd Season in January 2026. Currently, the “public road fastest series” continues with its latest installment, Subaru to Suisei.

A Realistic Taste of the Touge

The special exhibition booth, designed with Initial D as its core theme, is located within a section of the “TOKYO SUPER CAR DAY” area in South Hall 3 of the “Japan Mobility Show 2025.”

At the heart of the display is an actual AE86 Trueno, famously driven by protagonist Fujiwara Takumi. It’s meticulously placed within a set that recreates an iconic scene from the series, instantly drawing visitors into the atmosphere of “that touge.”

Exclusive Merchandise for Fans

Beyond the impressive car display, the booth also showcases and sells officially licensed Initial D merchandise.
