RYUSEI AKIBA

I have loved cars since childhood, and ever since I was fascinated by the drift demonstrations by drivers at the Tokyo Auto Salon and the anime Initial D, I have always held the aspiration of becoming a D1 driver close to my heart.
I had the opportunity to learn about drift competitions in international events outside of Japan during my three years of studying abroad in junior high school. This became the trigger for my dream of becoming a drift driver who can shine overseas in the future.
I want to invigorate the drift industry in Japan and convey the charm of drifting to many people.
The journey so far may have been a detour, but thanks to the support of everyone, I was able to achieve my childhood dream of participating in the D1GP series starting from 2022 and completing the second season.
I sincerely express my gratitude for being able to stand on this grand stage, and for being able to complete the series with the support of the team, sponsors, and fans. I will continue to strive to become a driver who can contribute to the marketing of the drift industry as soon as possible, for the sake of those who support me now, utilizing what I have learned and felt in every battle. Thank you for your continued support.
