What is the name of the Japanese race car in Cars 2?

The Japanese race car in Cars 2 is Shu Todoroki.

Shu is a Japanese Le Mans Prototype competitor who takes part in the World Grand Prix, the international racing event at the center of Cars 2. His design uses white and red, reflecting the colors of Japan’s national flag.

The character’s name and racing identity distinguish him from several other international competitors. Max Schnell is German, Miguel Camino is Spanish, and Raoul ÇaRoule is French. Those cars also compete in the World Grand Prix, making nationality an important clue.

Shu is sometimes confused with other prototype-style racers because Cars 2 features a large international field. However, Shu Todoroki is specifically the Japanese entry. His appearance draws on the visual language of endurance-racing prototypes rather than a conventional road car.
