Akina map

Mount Haruna (榛名山 Haruna-san) is a dormant stratovolcano in Takasaki, Gunma. Along with Myogi and Akagi, it is one of the "Three Mountains of Jōmō" (上毛三山).

Haruna appears in Initial D under the name Akina (秋名). Akina pass, as referred to by the characters, is actually Jomo-Sanzan Panorama Highway. Bunta Fujiwara holds the fastest downhill record at Mt. Akina and was the original best driver before his son. It is here that, Takumi Fujiwara delivers tofu everyday to a hotel at the top of the mountain, using his Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86). It is also where Takumi won his first few races and the home course for the racing team called the Akina SpeedStars. Due to his great victories, unbeatable track records and his downhill driving technique using an AE86 against much more powerful vehicles, Takumi and the AE86 gain popularity which is referred as 'Akina's 86'. The Akina pass is also famous for its five consecutive hairpin turns.

In the Live action film the Yahikoyama Sky Line in Niigata is used to represent Akina.
