After tying up his car in an illegal street race, Shaun Boswell was sent to live with his father who was a soldier in Tokyo, Japan, to avoid being sentenced or even imprisoned. While in school, he met Twinkie, the "military kid". Twinkie introduces you to the world of racing in Japan. Although he was banned from driving, he decided to compete with the "Drift King" D.K. who was associated with the gang, and lost the car due to lack of drift knowledge, as well as competitions involving dangerous turns with hairpins. In order to repay the debt, he entered the underground world of drifting street racing. As he gets better and better, he must eventually pass through again with D.K.
