An honor DK arrived in nyc and we connected for a cruise through the streets for a gathering of some of the community at times square
Everyone waited in anticipation to see if the news was true, was the Drift King really going to show up?

Then traveled to meet up with Team Toyminator before rolling out to Wall Stadium
Greeted with plenty of AE86s and owners of various builds to gather more as we then head to Wall Stadium
The Drift King, Jeff, Patrick, and Shota all hosted a great show as the community partied, celebrated, and drifted with the King!

Connecting with Sashimi Touge through the event was a blast as we observed the community putting on a drift show for the King
It was a joyous moment in history as enthusiasts, creators and professionals alike, all got to see DK enjoy cars in person...just like we do.

Sim Takumi/DK (Kyodo) meeting the real @driftkingtelevision
Decent touge racing was made possible through the Track Maker in GT5-GT6. Afterward, technical tracks like Nurburgring, Willow Springs, Bathurst, etc, are used to train, and tried to make a name for myself.
Need For Speed Carbon inspired me to find ways to drift fast on canyon/mountain roads, and I took this idea to @thegranturismo and trained hard in sim to find the limits of drift.
I shortly after began watching Initial D and Best Motoring videos, and finding that Takumi's driving and Tsuchiya-San's teachings resonated with me.
I helped coach and lead an online community of touge and grassroots racing enthusiasts, hosting competitions, and hosting lobbies with regulations inspired by Best Motoring (Touge 200, Touge 280, Touge 300, Touge Max, etc) for years through GT5 up to GT7.
I then began my Assetto Corsa sim racing journey to further develop my technique on touge road recreations, testing the limits of drift and car control In the Golden Era of touge racing
I spent good time testing and learning the limits of the car in sim through interpretations of racing theories and own research and data in sim, while training in throttle control.
Connecting through enthusiasts on instagram, I found we shared an understanding of car culture and what makes it a good thing for people who like cars.
After time, I feel I managed to be able to help carry the spirit of Initial D, understand car culture, and contribute to the community as much as I can. The dream to inspire racers everywhere. I've been able to simulate and visualize it.
And through friends and fellow enthusiasts, that shared vision of how car culture could be... seemed impossible, but we were able to put on a show and celebrate car culture with the Drift King himself, and give hope for the future of the culture in NYC and around the world.
Friendships, partnerships, some close to home and even overseas in Japan with a shared vision and love of cars.... who knew all this could come from just playing a videogame?
Inspiration, innovation, and motivation from everywhere
I'm not even sure how this is all fitting on KZitem, but I really appreciate everyone who's been on this journey with me.

This is a dream come true for me sure... but this was a dream come true for everyone!
This closes this chapter in history....
But a new chapter now begins.
Thanks again guys🙇🏾♂️
