In 1982 a young street racer founded Mid Night, the team that made Tokyo's
Bayshore Expressway famous and inspired the manga Wangan Midnight. His
Porsche 911 Turbo, rebuilt by Porsche's own race development center, became
the car readers know as Blackbird.
On the evening of 21 November 2018, a Japanese tuning magazine published a
conversation with him that had been sitting unpublished for nine years. The
same day, the wires reported his arrest for selling a Porsche that did not
exist. Six months later he was arrested again, over a Ferrari, while the
first case was still before the court.
Every English telling of this story stops at the first arrest. The Japanese
record does not.
