It took a little longer than he had hoped, but Kenji Hatano managed to become the #1 kyotei racer in Japan after winning his first SG Championship. His career is still young, though, and now he has others who want similar glory, like his old Yamato Academy classmates and new racers he's never gone up against before. However, a freak accident during a race results in his left hand and wrist being cut open by a propeller, which could very well end his career right as it truly started.
