YEET is a renowned Japanese tuning manufacturer specializing in custom body kits, widebody conversions, and high-performance upgrades for drift cars and enthusiasts.
Founded in 1997 by legendary tuner Yūsha Yaboku and business strategist Ieyasu Edo, YEET has become a global name in the automotive world.
Despite its underground origins, YEET has built a reputation for cutting-edge modifications and aggressive styling, attracting JDM enthusiasts and professional racers alike.
While the company is best known for its Japanese car builds, Yaboku's passion for Pfister sports cars has also led to some of the most sought-after machines in the industry.
History[]
Yūsha Yaboku is a renowned Japanese automotive tuner, best known for his custom wide-body kits and high-performance modifications for JDM vehicles. He specializes in most JDM brands such as Annis, Dinka, Emperor, Karin, and Maibatsu, but his true passion lies with the German manufacturer Pfister, particularly the Comet, Growler, 811, and Comet SR.
Yūsha Yaboku kickstarted his tuning journey in Japan's underground drift scene as a member of the infamous Sekaini Itamio crew. His first car, a Karin Futo GTX86, wasn't just a ride... it was his lifeline, doubling as both his tofu delivery workhorse and his personal drift machine.
Every late-night run through treacherous mountain passes was a test of skill, pushing the Futo to its absolute limits while cracking open his go-to beer, Pißwasser ICE. What started as a side hustle soon turned into an obsession, laying the foundation for the aggressive, head-turning tuning philosophy that would define YEET.
While working at a local body shop, Yaboku stumbled upon a wrecked Pfister Comet 469, which he purchased for just $300. Over the following years, he meticulously restored and modified the vehicle, ultimately transforming it into the first-ever YEET Pfister build, famously named “PISSWASSER” in honor of his go-to drink.
What started as a passion project in the late '90s has now become an icon of the JDM tuning world, valued at over $10 million USD today.
Partnership with Ieyasu Edo[]
Recognizing his raw talent and growing influence in the underground tuning scene, Yūsha Yaboku teamed up with Ieyasu Edo, a sharp-minded engineer and businessman, to establish YEET (Yaboku Edo Engine Tuning) in 1997. While Yaboku focused on pushing design boundaries with radical bodykits and aggressive styling, Edo managed the business side, turning YEET from a street-level workshop into an international symbol of automotive cool.
Under Ieyasu Edo's leadership as CEO, YEET has become one of the most influential names in car culture, renowned for its bold, widebody conversions and outrageous aesthetics. The company's signature look includes dramatic front and rear bumpers, extended wheel arches, oversized spoilers, and deep-dish wheels that completely transform any car they touch. Every YEET build is a statement, low, wide, and unmistakably eye-catching.
Current Day[]
Despite global success, Yaboku stays true to his roots, frequently attending drift events, street meets, and tuning expos, always on the lookout for the next big project. While YEET is known for legendary JDM builds, Yaboku's obsession with Pfisters has made them some of the rarest, most sought-after cars on the planet.
YEET isn't just about speed, it's about making cars look so outrageous, so unique, and so undeniably cool that they turn heads wherever they go.
