Anime has become one of the main staples of Japanese culture. According to one online forum, there is at least 15 million anime fans worldwide.
So in a way, it makes sense for Japanese companies to use anime to promote the company or their products.
Master of Torque
When Yamaha released their new motorcycle MT-09, they’ve decided to make an anime series called ‘Master of Torque’.
According to their ‘Master of Torque’ website, the synopsis to Season 1 of the anime series is as follows:
Almost 20 minutes long, the plot for Season 1 seems to be properly developed. As for the quality of the anime, the CG-intensive riding scenes are pretty impressive; we want to give a thumbs up for the level of detail they put into making the motorcycles look like the real thing. Here is Episode 1 of Season 1:
Voice actors are no slouch, either – for example, Dan Amo, the main character of the anime, is played by Hirofumi Nojima, who has starred in Kuroko's Basketball and Kingdom. (Right: Hirofumi Nojima)
Also a great alternative guide to Tokyo
The other great part of this anime is that it is set in Japan (mostly Tokyo) – that means they exist in real life.
To complement the anime, Yamaha has a special website in which they provide readers with guides to each location that was showcased in the anime, and they are quite detailed. You might actually learn more about each location than some guidebooks.

But that’s not all – the website introduces some delicacies that were shown in the anime, even iced coffee.

The website is not only for motorcycle enthusiasts and anime fans – it’s extremely useful for tourists visiting Japan as well. Even if you are not, we think the website offers a great view into what Tokyo and Japan is really like – so do check out their website!
