But, would people relate Initial D to pastry, as in cake? Well, someone from Saitama prefecture has capitalized on the success and popularity of Initial D, by using a huge billboard with Takumi on top of their shop. They name their shop 頭文字C 洋菓子の森 コスモス "Initial C - Cosmos, Forest Of Pastry" They have placed not-for-sale Initial D memorabilia on display inside. One of the priceless memorabilia is a large original art drawing, autographed by the author of Initial D, Shigeno Shuichi. How did they do it? It turns out the owner of the shop is a relative of Shigeno-san. That sure explains it, doesn't it? Because it is extremely difficult to get the license to use "Initial D." Speaking of that, a forum user goes by the name Daniel has started a quest on acquiring the license to use Initial D in his coffee shop in Malaysia. With the help of other forum users, Daniel has managed to get replies from Kodansha.
