The car clubs that remain who were once rivals are no longer rivals. They decided to stick together as a group to maintain the storied history of the Kanjozoku and put their conflicts aside. #truestory

Over the years, many Kanjozoku car clubs have come and gone. After the huge crackdown on illegal street racing in Osaka almost a decade ago, many left the Kanjo racing scene altogether and clubs disbanded. Some of these hobbyists moved their racing onto the circuit where it’s legal, some of the older guys left altogether and the few that stuck around continue to carry on this underground Osaka tradition.
The car clubs that remain who were once rivals are no longer rivals. They decided to stick together as a group to maintain the storied history of the Kanjozoku and put their conflicts aside. Today, they are as tight of a group as ever and though they do still occasionally run the Osaka Loop, it is all done in fun and to strengthen their bond, rather than to compete under separate entities.
The rivalry between Kanjo car clubs died down and those that remained stood united, battling the police while still keeping their JDM hobby alive.
These days, racing on the Kanjo is rare and those who have stayed loyal to this activity only do so to maintain a longstanding tradition. Any information on Kanjo racing that exists is unbelievably rare or skeptical.
