- The original title of the show in Japanese is "Mahha GO! GO! GO!(Mach

-
- Speed racer's name is Go Mifune, so you may guess where 'G' is from.
- The girl's name I remember is Rumi something. I think M is from
- Mifune, since Go's father runs a car factory named "MIFUNE MORTORS"
- or something like that and she probably works there as a racing team
- member???
-
- Other characters...only one that I can think of now is Fukumen Racer,
- roughly a masked racer, who always put on a mask and was found out
- later to be a brother of Speed Racer.
-
- BTW, my American friend from Chicago told me he'd seen several other
- "Japanimations" a while back there. Any other memories of
- "Japanimations," such as the Ultraman?? I'm just curious about them
- and their titles.
