Japanese Car Culture

First of all we will start off with Bosozoku.

Wikipedia describes Bosozoku as a Japanese subculture associated with motorcycle clubs and gangs. “Violently running gang”

Therefore, Bosozoku style cars should be best described as the cars driven by the Japanese gangs. This is partly true of course, but a lot of people actually like the Bosozoku styling as well, even though they are not a member of a gang.

The “boso” part means violently running. The “zoku” part in the word indicates it is a part of a gang. A lot of people use “boso” as a word to indicate this style, not to refer to the gang, but just the word “boso” would not make any sense. “Violently running cars?”

A lot of people also use the Zokusha designation which is widely used in Japan. As you already know “zoku” means gang. The “sha” part means car. So literally Zokusha translates into gang-car. In other words, Zokusha is the best describing word for the Bosozoku style cars.

The Bosozuko is often referred to with different names:

- Shakotan

- Yanky Style

- VIP Style

- Kyusha Style

- Grachan

Shakotan

Shakotan literally means “low car” and is used mainly for indicating extremely lowered street cars with wings and big exhaust tips. The manga/anime of Shakotan Boogie features two brothers driving extremely lowered cars. One of them being a white Toyota Soarer Z10, hence the popularity of that particular car from Shakotan fans. This style is the mild variant of the Bosozoku style.

Yanky Style

During the 70s and 80s around the Osaka area, the street fashion began to wear colorful Aloha shirts and pants, this caused the wearers being called Yankees. Most of the “bad boys” were wearing the Aloha fashion and hence the Bosozoku became equivalent to Yankee style. The writing of this style is officially with double ii, so Yankii.

Also, one of the cars in Shakotan Boogie was a blue (later on painted yellow) Nissan 240 S30Z with widened fenders and “Yanky Mate!”, probably portraying Yankii fashion, in big white letters on the hood. People who copied this style started calling it Yanky Style. Basically, it is the same style as Shakotan with the exception of wide fenders but most people call the moderately styled cars, Yanky Style.

VIP Style

VIP Style is more or less a crossover between Shakotan and gang cars. They are extremely lowered luxury cars (lots of bling), the inside is full of novelties and they ride on big wheels. Sometimes very close to Bosozoku style, however in my opinion Bosozoku is the low budget version of VIP Style. Also, VIP Style tends to use only newer cars while the Bosozoku style uses the older cars from the 70s to the early 90s.

Kyusha Style

image

Kyusha Style literally means “Japanese old classic car”, which in a lot of cases means it is an old car that is modified with fender flares, lowered, with nice wheels on it. So it should not be the same as Bosozuko style.

Grachan

image

Grachan or Garuchan comes from the 70s and 80s Grand Championships on Fuji Speedway. The Bosozuko gangs used to have big meetings in the parking lots of these events, hence the name. These cars should also match the same body shape styling as the cars running on the circuits, with big wide fenders like those used on the Super Silhouette styling. So this styling should be part of the Bosozuko style.

Bosozuko

So we conclude with the Bosozuko style. In my opinion, Bosozuko style distinguishes from all of the styles above. Lowering the car extremely like Shakotan, big fender flares like Yanky, body shapes like those on Grachan and the wild exhausts like those used on the motorcycles.

Let me tell you the story of this sweet soul beside me. The night I came to the ER I was by myself. I sat down and this sweet voice said to me, “Mind if I sit here?” He was pointing at the seat next to me. I smiled and told him,“Of course, sit!” So as we are waiting for such a long time, he starts up a conversation with me. He told me he could tell I had this incredible story just from when he saw me. Said I radiated confidence and beauty. I had a huge smile on my face and kept thanking him. Then I proceeded to talk about why I was in the ER and my battle with my disease and my life. I told him how I’m an artist and where I went to school and what my interests are. Next thing I know, we’re both talking way too loud with excitement over our favorite designers and our conversation just kept getting more intriguing and genuinely enjoyable. Though, as I said we were in the ER and my pain was affecting me pretty bad. We had been waiting over an hour at this point. So this kind old man got up and marched over and in such a sweet yet demanding tone that I needed to be seen immediately and that it was serious. Next thing I know, I’m laying in a bed with an IV in my arm having just skipped copious people in the waiting room. I wasn’t sure I’d ever see Heinz again and had been thinking of his kind soul quite a lot. Well just a bit ago I got a knock on my door and Heinz is there with a big gift bag and the kindest smile. I hugged him so tight. My mother hugged him even tighter for having taken care of me when she couldn’t be there. He brought me the cutest gifts and card and chatted to me and mum about how he couldn’t stop thinking about me and my ambition. He told me that I’m special and truly an inspiration. He said I’m really going to make it and go places. He made me feel like a statue of gold. We even made a great plan that when I get out of the hospital, I’m going to be designing for his company. He spoke to his manager and I’ve got the job. It’s really just incredible what amazing things can happen when you least expect it. I am so grateful as it seems these amazing experiences happen to me when I need them the most. Here’s my new friend Heinz and I. ✨💛💫 (bij St. Luke’s Hospital - Warren Campus)
