What is the title of the 2006 Fast & Furious film set mainly in Tokyo?

The story behind the answer

The 2006 Fast & Furious film set mainly in Tokyo is The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

The film follows Sean Boswell, an American teenager who moves to Tokyo and becomes involved in the city’s underground drifting scene. Lucas Black plays Sean, while Sung Kang plays Han Lue, a skilled driver who becomes Sean’s mentor. The movie introduced drifting as the central driving style of a Fast & Furious story.

Justin Lin directed Tokyo Drift, beginning a long association with the franchise. Although it was the third film released, its main story is generally placed later in the franchise’s internal chronology than its release position suggests. This unusual timeline is a frequent source of confusion.

Tokyo Drift also features Bow Wow as Twinkie and Brian Tee as the antagonist Takashi, known as the Drift King. The title distinguishes the film from the earlier Los Angeles- and Miami-centered installments.
