Kaneda's Bike In The Flesh

Street legal (Via)

As part of a promo for Katsuhiro Otomo's upcoming Gengaten exhibit, a series of videos featuring a legit working version of Kaneda's bike have been trickling onto the internet recently. The April 9 exhibit will serve as a showcase of all his artistic accomplishments and milestones in the field of animation and comic books, and will probably provide great publicity for his upcoming, historical long form manga (As of yet untitled) which will supposedly take place in the Meiji era. It's pretty exciting to see him return like this, because its been over 20 years since he's tackled a serialized manga. Check out more videos from the bike promo after the break!
