At Nissan’s engine factory in Yokohama, there are four sole assemblers of the engines that power Nissan GT-R. Takumi is a Japanese term used to describe a master craftsman who has perfected his skills over years of painstaking work and dedication. Takumi Kurosawa, Tsunemi Ooyama, Izumi Shioya and Nobumitsu Gozu are the four with takumi honour. Collectively, they share over 100 years of exceptional work in their chosen field. These engine craftsmen are responsible for hand-building and precisely assembling every engine powering the Nissan GT-R. These hand-crafted engines are mounted with a plaque bearing the takumi’s name, serving as a timeless reminder of the high level of craftsmanship and expertise that went into each work.
