Rival automotive executives settle their corporate disputes on the racetrack by sponsoring competing teams. Chairman Gapporin recruits the legendary Okkanabichi, whereas Chairman Misaki bets on rookie pilot Riki Kazama, who drives the flying vehicle Machine Hiryu. This Tatsunoko production blends the styles of Speed Racer and Time Bokan, featuring Riki’s adorable girlfriend Nana, young mechanic Chuta, a charming monkey and dog, and a cast of comedic yet stylish antagonists. Featuring early contributions from notable figures like Yoshitaka Amano and Kunio Okawara, the series adheres closely to the studio’s established formula. The narrative was also adapted into manga published in magazines such as Terebi Magazine and Terebi Land. Reflecting a broader racing craze in Japanese animation during that era, the series can be compared to the contemporary release Arrow Emblem.
