I recently explored the intriguing question of why there are no American cars in the popular anime series Initial D. It turns out that the show focuses on the Japanese street racing scene, which predominantly features Japanese cars. Additionally, the creators wanted to stay true to the original manga, which also did not include any American vehicles. Cost and availability may have also played a role, as importing American cars to Japan can be quite expensive. Overall, the absence of American cars in Initial D can be attributed to the show's dedication to authenticity and its focus on the Japanese car culture.
