Where would we be without Keiichi? A living legend, Keiichi Tsuchiya is a professional racing driver also known as the “Drift King” (otherwise as Dorikin) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events, and his role in popularising drifting as a motorsport. He’s also known for touge (mountain pass) driving. The car that he uses to drive has become one of the most popular sports cars these days, Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno (a.k.a. the “Hachi-Roku” in Japan (hachi-roku meaning “eight six”)).
