Ayrton Senna, the Samuraï

 If there's a specific place where brazilian hero Ayrton Senna have written his legend outside of his home country, it's without doubt in Japan. 

Maybe Ayrton Senna Da Silva was almost a god in Brazil, but he was some sort of Samuraï in nippon islands. And winning his 3 formula one drivers world titles at Suzuka are not the only reason for this popularity.

It's hard to measure how much he was loved and idolised in the land of rising sun... Senna was really BIG in Japan!

His passion and complete dedication to his activity, The fact he won all his titles and almost all his Grand Prix with Honda engine, his "kamikaze" all or nothing approach to racing are probably the reasons for his huge popularity in this country of brave warriors culture.

Images will speak louder than words...
