Initial D (頭文字（イニシャル）D
Inisharu Dī?) is a manga by Shuichi Shigeno which has been serialized in
Kodansha's Young Magazine since 1995. It has been adapted into a
long-running anime series by OB Planning, Studio Comet, Studio Gallop,
Pastel, and A.C.G.T, and a live action film by Avex and Media Asia. Both
the manga and anime series were initially licensed for distribution in
North America by Tokyopop (2002–2009);[3] the anime license has since
been picked up by Funimation Entertainment, while the manga is no longer
available in English.
The
story focuses on the world of illegal Japanese street racing, where all
the action is concentrated in the mountain passes and rarely in cities
nor urban areas, and the drift racing style is emphasized in particular.
Keiichi Tsuchiya helps with editorial supervision. The story is
centered on the Japanese prefecture of Gunma, more specifically on
several mountains in the Kantō region and in their surrounding cities
and towns. Although some of the names of the locations the characters
race in have been fictionalized, all of the locations in the series are
based on actual locations in Japan.
