I thought this was going to be a short video, but as I began to dig deeper into the inspiration behind the fictional Devil Z in Wangan Midnight, I found all kinds of connections to other equally incredible and mysterious stories I couldn't leave out. This journey begins in Japan with Wangan Midnight, ABR Hosoki S130z and Speedshop Shinohara, before taking us to Hawaii to introduce Gary Mitsunaga, then to Argentina and Italy to learn about Alejandro DeTomaso and his Pantera, back to Japan for Kunimitsu Takahashi, then across the seas again to the United States and the Bahamas to investigate the disappearance of Mario Rossi. It's a bit of a wild ride, but I hope you enjoy it!
