Before he knew it, Takumi is quickly, and unwillingly, plunged into a high-speed world of white-knuckle contests on the most dangerous mountain passes in Japan. Assisted by the Speedstars, his slightly obnoxious friend Itsuki, his good-hearted yet somewhat shady girlfriend Natsuki Mogi, and the sage-like words of Bunta, himself a retired ace drifter, he'll need all the help he can get to outwit and outmaneuver Japan's most talented underground drifters and outmaneuver his way to the top of the heap.
'''''Initial D''''' is a long running manga series (since 1995) created by Shuichi Shigeno, with a series of anime adaptations. The focus is on [[Subcultures in Japan|the Japanese drift-racing underground]], and as such, has acted as an anime [[Gateway Series]] for western car fans. The anime adaptation is also famous for its blatant use of [[Conspicuous CG]] on its racing scenes, making for a fount of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] in several other anime.
A live-action movie based on ''Initial D'' was released in 2005. There are also numerous video game adaptations of the material, most notably the ''[[Initial D Arcade Stage]]'' series, which brought the competitive arcade racing game scene to life.

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Bunta's Subaru Impreza WRX STi is supposed to be painted Gunmetal Grey, just like Shigeno's own Impreza. It appears as such in the manga, the first 3 versions of Arcade Stage, and in Special Stage. When the car made its anime debut in ''Fourth Stage'', the Impreza appears wearing the "555 Blue Mica" paint, and said color becomes the default paint for the car in subsequent games released from that point on.
