The Shuto Expressway is one of Japan's largest networks of expressways with 24 currently active routes spanning across the Greater Tokyo Area. The Bayshore Route, also known as the Wangan, is one of the most notable routes for its reputation as home to many street racing clubs. Movies like the Shuto Kousoku Trial series and international coverage of gangs like the Mid Night Club also increased the notoriety of the Wangan racing scene.
Its high profile as a home for street racing has led to it being featured in a wide array of movies, games, manga, and anime such as Wangan Midnight and Shutokou Battle.
