We have always wonder what the male-to-female ratio is for the Initial D fans. Needless to say, Initial D belongs to a very male-dominant genre. The balance is heavily skewed towards the males side. The question remains, how likely is a female taking an interest in Initial D?

To research on this subject, we used our forums and this fanpage's statistics as the basis. Roughly speaking, we have a 100:1 ratio between male to female on the forums for the active participants. For the fanpage however, we are doing a little better. (Reference: http://i2.minus.com/iSLp0VnNluqZi.png)

As you can see, 6% of all the users who have liked, commented or shared our page are females, and only 4% of the 52K fans are females (~2100) Which when translate to plain words, it means out of every 25 Initial D fans, only one of them is female. Now, does this reflect to ALL Initial D fans worldwide? We like to think there are at least 10% female in the fanbase. After all, Initial D has sparked countless fans to write fan fictions and majority of those are female fans.

Perhaps our page just hasn't reach out far enough to tap into that demographics of the fanbase. It remains to be seen. But for now, 25:1 seems pretty realistic to us.

So for this post, we implore all the female fans out there to comment and talk about your experience with Initial D. How did you get introduced to Initial D? Are you the only girl in your friend circle that likes Initial D? How do you or your friends react to girls taking an interest in a male-oriented anime?
