Tanjiro Kamado

Tanjiro Kamado is a Japanese racing driver. Kamado started his career driving for Mahindra in Formula International. With the Indian manufacturer leaving the sport after 2020, he moved to Nissan and scored his first ever win at Berlin. This earnt him one more season at Nissan, where he improved further to finish 4th in the standings and score two more wins. At the same time, he was drafter by Alpha Tauri and promoted to Formula Earth to replace the now disabled Daniil Kvyat. In the final race of 2022, Kamado scored his first ever points and was signed permanently for 2023. However, he spent a very poor season, scoring only 1 point, 15 less than teammate Alexander Albon, with 2024 being exactly the same in terms of points and performances. Somehow in 2025, Kamado signed to Ferrari, a move that rose lots of eyebrows in the paddock. He failed to score any podiums, but he did become the lead driver of Ferrari, beating the deteriorating Daniel Ricciardo, and in 2026 he scored his first and only win in Texas, becoming the first ever Japanese driver to win a race in Formula Earth. However, he experienced another dismal season in 2027, and with teammate Ness Muller being way out of reach, Kamado fell out of favour and moved to Red Bull. Even there, he was outclassed in both seasons by Giovanni de Ziel, and in 2029, with Red Bull struggling badly that year, Kamado scored only 1 point. He was kept for 2030, with Red Bull aiming to improve. In 2031, he picked up a horrible injury in the American GP and missed the final 4 races.
