Note; The old Hodan is no more, and this one now exists because It’s easier to start again. This one is entirely different
砲弾 (Hodan) is a Sportscar manufacture based out of Eastern Osaka. Founded in 1979 between two friends, their first project was making an entirely custom car, using an older Komodo as a base. In 1983, they moved to full-time production of their first car, the Fuji, named after the Raceway and Mountain.
Hodan has always used engines supplied from other manufacturers, as they have never had the Capacity to develop their own engines. In 2016, Hodan purchased Engine development tools, and at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show unveiled the first fruits of their efforts, the Rizun Concept.
Being a smaller company, only one or two models would ever be in work at the same time. Hodan itself supports owners who use their cars for racing purposes, supplying engineers to a Driver who used a 2013 Okayama in the WTAC. It is also looking at modifying the Rizun for use in Group 4 Competions.
