Why did you choose this car?

Takeshi: "I choose New Skyactiv Mazda 3 because first, it's looks different from other Japanese cars, in a way that it's shape is beautiful and sexy even without modification. Second, the price of Mazda 3 is affordable."

What was the main goal when the build started?

Takeshi: "My main goal when the build started was to be outstanding with a sense of "Taste". I loved to create a clean and sharp outlook for my car, and this continues on even until today."

Do you have a unique story behind the car or build?

Takeshi: "Modifying car has always been my hobby, and I am grateful that my wife supports me on this. We even had our special pre-wedding photoshoot together with my car and share them among our friends. We got many praises for that and are fully satisfied to share our joy with others."

What are your future plans for the car?

Takeshi: "Upgrade performance parts and bolt-on Turbo."

Is there anything you would have done differently if you could go back?
