Out in the middle of Tochigi lies a special shop. In this shop, the original concept of the Hakotora was born by Michi-San. When Kyung (Thomas) Na of AE Threads (www.aethreads....) clothing apparel came to Tokyo for a visit, he made sure we visited Michi-San's shop - 09 Racing. After the initial shaky introductions, we all became good friends spending hours on end talking about cars, and soaking in Michi-San's Hakotora artwork. Thus, this time on Tokyo Tuner, Join me as we take a closer look inside 09 Racing, and an up close look at the original Hakotora

栃木のある田舎町にある特別なショップがある。Michiさんのハコトラが生まれた場所だ。僕の友人でアパレルショップAE Threads (www.aethreads....) に勤めるトーマスが東京に来た時、一緒にミチさんのショップ09レーシングを一度訪れてみることにした。最初はお互いの様子を探りあいながら話し始めて、車の話からMichiさんのハコトラのストーリーを聞いているうちに、いつの間にか何時間も経っていた。
さて今回の東京チューナーでは、最初のハコトラが誕生した場所、09レーシングのガレージを覗いてみましょう。チャンネル登録、評価、シェア、コメントもぜひお願いします、それではお楽しみください！

He couldnt afford expensive parts, so he built ones by himself. This man is a living legend.

Nothing but respect for this man, I really hope he gets more recognition for his work, great video as always.
Maybe he already did get the recognition. We don't know that because we're not from Japan.
I respect this man immensely. The work and love he's put into this is beyond what I could ever dream of. I hope I can get a good job and own something of this calibre when I graduate
When i bored, i always watch some Japanese car tuner to make my day be better

About a year ago, I saw the white Hakotora through pictures when it was at SEMA in 2015. This inspired me to buy my own Sunny. I went through an import agency and imported a 1984 Sunny Ute from Japan in April 2018. I have had so much fun with this truck, it is unbelievable. I visited 09Racing's website 4 or 5 months ago and was quoted a full Hakotora kit. Between wanting to completely restomod the truck with a never been done before interior, a powerful engine swap and basically rebuilding it from the ground up, there isn't a lot of money left over for the Hakotora kit. I would absolutely love to get the kit, but that will have to wait until another day, sadly. I have such big plans for this truck, and I cannot wait until it is done being built.
That's whats up! Just take your time and get it done when you can ^^ Can't wait to hear / see more about your Sunny
@@TokyoTuner Follow me on IG! @that1nissanguy
This is the definition of "built not bought" haha love the ramp for bikes
Andy Ly haha yea. Definitely designed everything that he could to help him out. It's simply amazing all the little details and things he built into it
Make a longer video about Ogura, for some reason I really want to listen more of his story.
Kon Digimortal I would love to have a loner video with Michi-San. His story is amazing. It's just getting him to talk more about it IN FRONT of the camera lol *sigh* shyness
Agreed

@@TokyoTuner Force him!
told him that you love his style and we love too.
too many man miss him too.
I’ve been alive for 38 years and I haven’t found a passion worth following other than shitty vices. This man loves what he does. I wish I could be more like him. Hey brother if you’re listening, stay true. Grace and peace to you.
Craftmanship at its finest, Great Build and Engineering.
As a motorcycle rider I appreciate his crafty truck. Would love to have one like that to trailer my bikes around. Truly a work of art and a genius. I’ll be interested to see more of him and work.
This channel and the gentleman in this video deserve more recognition. Help this guy with his work, if you can..
Tokyo Tuner finds a true masterpieces and this Hakotora is no exception! Can't wait to see more of your work. A true inspiration!!!
Thank you ^^!
True craftsmanship on a truck thats out of this world... Ive had 2 d21's/hardbodies and one day i will hopefully have the chance to build one of these. Thank you for sharing this
This is such a beautiful creation
Joe A yes
Keep your Chiron and Huayra.. This is a masterpiece!
So glad YT suggested this video, love the content and subbed!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and welcome ^_^!
Me too
Did anyone else cut onions?
Just a little bit?
This is beautiful.
SO much love for this build... God knows I'd love my very own "Hakotora".... but to sell your own original Hakosuka to build it.... Jeez.... I don't think I could go that far!
Big respect to Michi San for his creativity and resourcefulness though!
old school craftsmanship isnt dead. well done sir.
Nothing but respect for this build and the man behind the madness.
Beautiful.
Cool unique and practical, this guy is a genius in his own right, awesome video man.
TriniRogue thank you! It's crazy how detailed Michi San is with everything. Definitely a true artist
Dude I love your stuff and this build is amazing!!! IDK but your vids feel like a documentary on a very strong relationship Man an machine. Simply amazing!
Thank you! The relationship is exactly what you said for Michi-San. Was amazing to work with and become good friends with ^__^
This is amazing, the car and the story behind it, along with the great filming. Masterpiece!
That is a free man, doing what he loves for a living, nothing but respect, this was a great watch
First of all, his hakotora is clean af. And i can see that he is quite humble 😎
Beautiful design, love that it's not too flashy. Industrial, functional, brilliant
More content like this please. I am so fascinated by these remarkable people. These are the inspirations for me to look forward to tomorrow.
Dante Ryosuke thank you for watching! I'll trying and find more people like Michi San but he is a truly unique artist. If I can find people with interesting / unique stories to share, you can get I'll find them ^^
Awesome content as usual, Looking forward to your next video Tokyo Tuner!
Roxas 023 thank you for your constant support ^^
This is 100% my favorite mini truck
Those creations hide a part of his soul inside. Great video of a humble, dedicated great man. I hope his dreams come true.
This may sound weird but I have dreamt about this type of car ever since i was a kid riding dirtbikes. I’m 24 years old now and I still ride dirtbikes but the thought of buying a huge pickup truck doesn’t appeal to me at all. Seeing my friends bought a dodge or a ford and lift it up high in the air isn’t my type at all. I like small mini pickup truck that looks cool. I may buy a datsun mini truck and make it look clean with tasteful mods.
Jimbo I know what you mean man. I've always lived around people with big lifted trucks, so I bought a little ford ranger and lowered it hoping it will take my bike to the track someday lol And a Datsun truck would be sick!
You should check out the mods people do to Volkswagen Caddy pickups, that should give you some inspiration
Wow that's sick! Thanks, I'll definitely check it out.
You can't go past a longbed Japanese minitruck for carrying motorcycles, really.
You're not alone my friend
The Art Of Samurai.. Salute! Thx TokyoTuner for a great video 👍
I near never comment on videos but this one, right here has that rarely produced spirit and essence the community needs more of.
WOW!!! What a creation. Keep up the good work. Subbed and Notifications keep them coming.
Michael Figueroa Thank you for watching! Welcome ^^!
This car is very LEGEND, seriously OG!!
When I think of beautiful vintage Japanese tin, the Datsun Sunny is admittedly not the first thing that springs to mind. Here’s how to turn that assumption on its head though..
Im in love with this truck, my mom was always a street pick-up girl enjoyer , he owned all versions of the SRT-10 Dodge Ram, Daytona and Rumblebee and one day i saw the Hakotora and forgot about those i grow up with, my mom was so mad that i liked a smaller truck than the ones we had in home 😂🤣
Old but gold. Love it friend
Amazing build, great video, the quality of your content is amazing, you do a great job of covering the whole story, the car and the owner
Thank you for watching! Def try my best to get the whole story the best as possible
Tokyo Tuner Keep doing what you do, you're going to grow, and should anyone offer you any business deal don't take it unless it's what you want because there will be 3 more people waiting to make your channel grow
Thank you for that.. Honestly makes me happy to know that people still are into watching the videos I create. Have a lot of videos I still need to catch up on. Just finding the time to get it all done and stay on top of other stuff as lol>.> Guess that's a good problem to have
Tokyo Tuner sure is, and there's a lot that enjoy the content you produce
I envy coutries with roads like this. Roads in country is like a weather you'll never know where is the next bumps and pot holes. It just hits you.
Such high quality craftsmanship on such a beautiful motor vehicle, an he is a great man too.. awesome video!!
This guy is my hero. This is my dream to have a custom garage and make contraptions and epic street race vehicles.
This is what I love about real tuners, they represent real people with real aspirations about life. Unlike super cars where only the rich and privileged thrives.
Once again if find myself watching these videos they will always be some of my favorite
This is Japanese car art, culture, creativity, at its deepest and purest.
not just a cool ride, but also very practical to do other things he enjoys.. beautiful job he's done
Wow my eyes popped when i saw the Hakosuka front. I was like who in the world will dare to chop up a Hakosuka to make it a pickup.
It was only when i look up the OG Hakotora than it open my mind.
So it actually a Datsun 1200 truck with the Hakosuka front conversion.
There is def a huge following of this conversion. It would be nice to see one with the S20 engine.
Haha this is the OG Hakotora ^__^
@@TokyoTuner Was Michi-san the one who inspired all of these other guys who have Datsun trucks with the GTR front?
Respecting Michi san with never ending passion.
I just received his dry carbon fiber rear view mirror for my 240z and the quality of his product is amazing.
When you've got brains, vision and the tools you can do stuff like this👍👍👍great video
blank blank thank you for watching ^^>
Your content is just beautiful. So unique from others. BIG FAN!
Thank you for watching !! ^__^
Indeed 😁
Driving a slammed pick up, carrying motorcycles. This guy is living my dream.
Awesome video and extremely nice build.
What a fantastic looking pickup! I wish him luck in continuing with that builds!
Nice Tuner Car. Keep it up.👍😎👍
mad love and respect for this guy
信念にセンスとスキルが加わると凄いということ。
His vision, sense and skill. Everything is awesome.
The stories behind some of the most unique and awesome builds is what keeps me up at night. that truck is cool as fuck and that man is a beast.
Your channel is the bees knees, sir! Much love from America.
何てカッコいいビデオなんだ！今まで観た中で最高の作り方。この方は何者！スゴイ♪
Japanese craftsmanship:
German engineering, eyes for details like a French chef, the patience of Nepalese monks and the stamina of Korean shipyard employees !
Wow. Blown away by his passion for engineering.
Gotta love that Japanese passion !! Respect ✊
One word, BEAUTIFUL! Oh my goodness, I could only wish. Dreams are a wonderful things.
The interior and exterior are absolutely gorgeous.
このちょうしで がんばれ!
Back again to watch this video I absolutely love it
Great video. Great car.
HERI HAO thank you! ^^
Great men
W O W! That is the definition of unique. I wish there was more shots of the car though.
When I lack motivation building my 72’ 620 I watch these videos an it pushes me
Very beautiful design
So beautiful masterpiece. The soul and passion on the ride.
This man is an absolute artist. Such a cool car.
That's pure beauty out of a passionate craftsman right there ❣️
you just motivated me to go hard on my love for vintage although i never schooled on anything about it im studying something different in University though my 'heart dreams' heavy about my datsun 120y, aint much but its a start and good fun ......
Do it!!!!!!! Doesn't matter of you study / major in it at school
I had to watch it twice, once to read subtitles and other to look at truck. I need that kit for my 521!!!
Hahaha thank you for watching 2x ^__^ And send Mitchi-San a message. I'm sure he will be more than willing to help you out !
What he built is an absolute dream for me. Excellent work.
You are a very talented mechanic! Two thumbs up to you bro! 👍
Même les utilitaires sont magnifique au Japon, total respect San à toi et à ton travail .
ハコスカ売って造ってるって凄いな。
Innovator of the year ! Beautifully put together.
Oh my dear man, you have constructed something truly beautiful ! Keep doing what makes your soul smile 😆
Insane how well the front end fits the body! Amazing build
This guy has passion. His dreams are just around the corner.
The 387 people who disliked this video...something is wrong with y'all. Nothing but respect for this guy. He build something he loves.
Very nice , Now that is Unique. Very nice video
Always been a fan of this channel but this video definitely had to be one of my favorites
Very nice build
More videos of that truck please
I would like to have
A similar hakotora
Built for my needs
Soon i hope
Very cool and thanks for sharing your passion!
Still my go to video and will always be one of favorite ones
Absolutely amazing build and video as always man. Looking forward to the next one and hope to see you around Daikoku eventually!
Xaero Spectre thank you for watching again! And yes! I need to make a trip to Daikofuto soon haha. Been going to Tatsumi more often
Tokyo Tuner I haven't been to Tatsumi yet. I need to find a way out there. I don't have a car and don't have many friends that go to meets from Yokosuka. Just one or two all the way in Atsugi.
Xaero Spectre ahhhhhhhhhhhh yah Daikofuto would be closer for you then. That makes sense.
I might try to see about going to a meet sometime next weekend if my friends are free. I'll try like Friday night or Saturday night.
Love the bed setup. Super cool!
What a cool story! I love that truck!!
The man stopped selling the kits. Now planning on selling full hakotora built trucks. Smart man
The engineering he put into this so he could have a racey truck that's still a functional truck, very nice man
I love Japan, I love Japanese cars, I grew up with Japanese cars. I drive a Japanese right-hand drive car. From Russia with love.
Youre not russian,youre western spies
Unknown User_97 немножко ;)
The mans got crazy engineering skills an vision” the quality of his build looks amazing!! Super creative totally on point 👊🏽
The Video quality and editing in these videos is just amazing. I love the no-frill race-car vibe of this truck. I am building something entirely different "a stock as shit Mugen FA5" and I've kinda been at a stand still as where to go next. But after watching a couple of these vids; I Am Gonna build my own intake, exhaust, strut braces and attempt to do some custom Door Cards. All the props in the world from the East Coast, State Side. Keep up the fantastic work!!
I also went to public school, grammar need not apply. Lol
LeRoy Bringe hahahhaahahaha! That's what's up! Just go ahead and try. If you mess up, it's ok. It's the learning process that makes it special. Been working on my front bumper in the mean time and I went from happy, to omfg I done ruined it, to I love the front end of my car again haha. And thank you for watching the video!
En Japón están los maestros del diseño los mejores del mundo en hacer las máquinas al volante
Yo! Sick..Sick Content. Beautiful car, Awesome Owner and Builder. Amazing bro.
Thank you! Michi-San is a true artist and I tried my best to capture it. Awful shy tho haha
No era bueno en la escuela pero fuí bueno con los Motores. No saben cuantas veces escuché eso.
Regrets from México 🇲🇽
Once again I find myself watching this video and just becoming EXTRA INSPIRED LOL
