Daijiro Kato - Lost but not forgotten
Daijiro Kato is a name to everyone interested in MotoGP. He was the last MotoGP rider who died through a racing incident back in 2003. Before the horrific crash in Suzuka, he was Japan's big hope, the one talent who beat record after record, even winning races as a wildcard and the one rider who could make history, becoming bigger than Valentino Rossi. But sadly that wasn't to be. Japan and the world of MotoGP racing lost one of their future heroes.
But already during his lifetime, Daijiro was being celebrated like a popstar in Japan, causing teenage girls to scream wherever he went, adoring his boyish good looks and his cool style. One perfect package.
