There is an absurd amount of secrecy that surrounds Osaka's underground street car culture.

The
word "Kanjo" means little to most, is a mystery to some and is legendary for the few who truly
understand it. For the better part of three decades, Honda enthusiasts have been racing on an
elevated highway system located in the heart of Osaka, Japan. This expressway is known as the
"Kanjo Loop" because the roadways connect in a clockwise position on a loop. For the average
everyday citizen of Osaka, this is just a means to get around the city. Afterhours tell a completely
different story—this famed loop becomes a playground for midnight's children. Loop runners,
known better as "Kanjo Racers" or "Kanjozoku," gather at an unspecified location and put their
skills to the test in all-out madness on these highways. The roads aren't entirely empty or closed
specifically for them to do their bidding. There are other cars on the road, including local law
enforcement. The goal of Kanjo racers is to dodge anything that comes their way. This activity is
highly illegal and most certainly not recommended.
