Speed Racer
Created by Tatsuo Yoshida
On Fuji TV
A high-energy, melodramatic racing adventure built on pluck and fair play, where a teenage driver and his found family face weekly challenges in a technologically fantastical world.
Speed Racer is a teenage driver who races around the world in his super-technological car, the Mach 5, created by his father, a former racer. The car has several special features that help Speed tackle difficult terrain and get rid of dishonest opponents—which happens frequently. He experiences these adventures alongside his girlfriend Trixie, his younger brother Spridle, and his pet monkey, Chim-Chim. Together, they face thrilling challenges and show that courage and fair play make all the difference.
