@@Dondrifts it’s a region in Japan. It’s where this style of drifting with a snappy entry like you see on meihan videos got popular and practiced. It’s like saying “southern style” of anything that originates or is practiced in the south

It’s messed up what happened to Toshi. Been following him for a long time, and was wondering why he disappeared for those three years. Glad that he’s back in the drifting scene and bouncing back from the situation!
@@aftrnoon.ac326 why did you think i asked? tl;dr for anyone else, he was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned for three years due to a drug-related incident involving a former employee. He was accused of being the mastermind behind the operation, a charge that carried a potential sentence of 6-10 years. Despite maintaining his innocence, the Japanese justice system, with its 99% conviction rate, initially found him guilty and sentenced him to three years in prison. After his release on bail, he faced social stigma and difficulties in rebuilding his life and business. However, he remained determined to clear his name and continued to fight his case. Eventually, after three years of legal battles, his conviction was overturned, and he was found not guilty.
I did a trip to japan years and years ago and got to drive with a young Toshi, absolutely genuine guy. was such a pleasure to hang and send it with him. also Hiro took me for a lap and was the most eye opening experience in drifting Ive ever had. dude is a mad man!
