Storyline and characters
The plot of JDM: Japanese Drift Master is set in the fictional Japanese prefecture of Guntama. The area is inspired by the mountainous region of Honshu. If you are familiar with Japan's famous drifting tracks, you will find many similarities to the real world.
The story presented through manga (a Japanese comic book), portrays the story of Hatori Hasashi and his path to becoming the titular 'Scorpion'. This model student and son of a traditional Japanese family takes his pride and arrogance to the race track, where various rivals await him. In addition to Hatori, players will meet a number of side characters who will play an important role during Scorpion's rising:
- Aoi Ishida is a girl from a traditional family who has known Hatori since they were children. When they start dating, she supports him in every way she can, especially on the track.
- Ayumi Kurama is a rich girl raised by a single father who fulfills her every financial whim. She is successful in everything she does, including drifting. However, if victory is at stake, her friendship with Hatori may be at risk.
- Satoru Hayashi very quickly becomes Scorpion’s main rival. He is cheerful and reckless, but his family is poor, so he does not feel like a part of his school. Satoru’s car belonged to his uncle, a famous drifter.
- Kaori Kato is Aoi’s best friend. This artistic girl works at a nearby paint shop. Independent and progressive, she always supports Aoi, even if she believes Hatori isn't a good boyfriend.
