The original title of the show in Japanese is "Mahha GO! GO! GO!(Mach
go, go, go!)." The show at first had been on the air some 25 years ago. I
used to watch it at the time.

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.

Naoki "go, speed racer, go"
