Baribari Legend
Baribari Legend (バリバリ伝説, Baribari Densetsu) is an early motorbike racing manga series by Shuichi Shigeno, who went on to create the Initial D series. It was published in 38 volumes between 1983 and 1991 by Kodansha. In 1985, it won the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen.[1]
The story has a lot of similar points with Initial D. Racing on the public road (illegal of course) is the center of the storyline in the first half. It became a social problem in Japan because many "Hashiriya" got influenced by it and became "Rolling-zoku"(hashiriya trying to see how fast they can go through curves).
There is also an OVA based on the manga. It is called Bari-den for short. In August 1987, it was shown in the theater by JapanHerald.
In 1989 the manga was also licensed as a commercial video game by Taito Corporation for the PC Engine, under the original title.
The character Gun Koma appears as a hidden character in the PlayStation 2 game MotoGP by Namco.
