Owner's Spotlight: Michi-San Hakotora

[@dhikabagaskara4182]

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.

[@macdee6040]

Maybe he already did get the recognition. We don't know that because we're not from Japan.

[@can1bbl3]

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

[@kalogias]

Make a longer video about Ogura, for some reason I really want to listen more of his story.

[@TokyoTuner]

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

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..

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

[@SN1P3ALLSN1P3RS]

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.

[@TokyoTuner]

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

Driving a slammed pick up, carrying motorcycles. This guy is living my dream.

[@cityofplant]

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.

[@Trainsk8]

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!

[@DrDeftafying]

You should check out the mods people do to Volkswagen Caddy pickups, that should give you some inspiration

[@cityofplant]

Wow that's sick! Thanks, I'll definitely check it out.
