Osaka's iconic Dotonbori entertainment district served as a major visual inspiration for Akudama Drive's futuristic Kansai setting. The neon-drenched streets, giant billboards, and vibrant canal-side atmosphere are amplified into the cyberpunk world of the anime, making Dotonbori feel like stepping into the show.
📺 Scene from the Anime
The Dotonbori canal area with its iconic Glico sign and neon advertisements directly inspired the cyberpunk Kansai cityscape in Akudama Drive, where the Akudama criminals carry out their heists.
