Ken Gushi aka “The Future” was born on September 19, 1986 and is one of the nation's top competitors in the sport of drifting. Born in Okinawa, Japan, but raised in Los Angeles, he was taught by his father Tsukasa Gushi at the age of 13 with a Toyota AE86. Ken has become the youngest competitor in both the D1 Grand Prix of Japan and the Formula Drift Championships of the U.S. despite not passing his driving test at the time. Finishing the 2004 Formula Drift season with his Nissan 240sx, Ken jumped into the Ford Racing backed Mustang GT in the 2005 series, finishing off the year in 3rd place overall, and winning the third round of the season in Houston, Texas to become Formula D's first Japanese-born event winner. In 2007, he finished 13th overall in the Formula Drift event series, but the best has yet to be seen.
