Miwako Sato Trivia Correction

[hideouskojima]

Hello there DCW Forum Users
I just wanted to drop a feedback/correction(esque) response to one of the Trivia relating to Miwako Sato's "Driving Style" in Detective Conan- specifically:

Quote

• Sato has a habit of shrieking while drifting without pulling the handbrake, as she feels that shrieking helps make it easier. But she finds it embarrassing, though. This habit caused the "Mountain Witch" story to happen, as people reported the witch would drift using a white FD and scream really loud.
• It is likely that Sato's driving style is inspired by Takumi Fujiwara, the protagonist of the manga / anime Initial D. (with one difference that Sato drives an FD, while Takumi drives a Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 panda).

While her street racing background is reminiscent of Takumi Fujiwara, her driving style really isn't. Her driving style is more akin to a different Initial D Character: that being Kozo Hoshino from Initial D Fourth Stage- who was prone to yell during drifts to help with the cornering.

The Miwako Sato Witch Chapter 661 or Volume 63 is around November of 2008 while Initial D's Kozo Hoshino Introduction (Chapter 366, Volume 28) was made in March of 2004, hence predates Sato's Touge Driving Style and totally confirms that it's based off Kozo Hoshino (God Foot) of Initial D while her backstory is more focused on Takumi Fujiwara (Ghost of Akina).
