What is the title of the Pixar short featuring Mater racing in Tokyo?

“Tokyo Mater” is the Pixar short featuring Mater racing in Tokyo.

The short was released as part of Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales, a series of animated shorts centered on Mater's exaggerated stories. In “Tokyo Mater,” Mater claims that he became a drift-racing champion after traveling to Japan, where he challenges a local champion named Kabuto.

“Tokyo Mater” was directed by John Lasseter and Rob Gibbs and was released in 2008. It was also the first Cars short produced for theatrical presentation in 3D, helping connect Pixar's short-film program with the visual style used in contemporary feature releases.

The title is sometimes confused with the television-series name Mater's Tall Tales, but that is the series umbrella rather than the individual short. “Unidentified Flying Mater” and “Heavy Metal Mater” are separate shorts in the same broader Cars Toons collection.
