In ''[[Tokyo Mater]]'', Kabuto's grudge against [[Tow Mater|Mater]] starts when Mater accidentally runs into him after towing [[Ito-San]] to [[Tokyo]]. After becoming extremely angry with Mater, Kabuto challenges the tow truck to a drift race. He tells Mater that he must race him to the top of [[Tokyo Tower]], and whoever reaches there first will be crowned "King of all Drift Racers." He also tells Mater that the loser will be stripped of all modifications and become "stock." When the race begins, Kabuto tries to cheat his way to victory by constantly pushing Mater off the road. And when that does not work, he summons [[Kabuto's Ninjas|his ninjas]] to attack Mater. Fortunately, the ninjas are all defeated by [[Lightning McQueen|Dragon McQueen]], but it turns out to be a distraction so that Kabuto will reach the tower first. When Mater is launched into the air by McQueen and lands on the very road leading up the tower, Kabuto becomes furious and pushes Mater off the balcony, but Mater uses his winch to get back up and reaches the finish line at the top of the tower. In the end, Kabuto loses, and as a result, he is stripped of his modifications and is last seen being laughed at by his own ninjas, which even causes him to cry.
In ''[[Tokyo Mater]]'', Kabuto encounters [[Tow Mater|Mater]] when the latter accidentally touches his paint, upon his arrival, and challenges him to a drift race, that takes them all the way to the top of [[Tokyo Tower]]. The winner will be crowned king of all drifters, but the loser will be stripped of all modifications. During the race, Kabuto taunts Mater for not being able to drift so easily compared, and tries to lose him, by summoning his [[ninjas]] to attack Mater. However, [[Lightning McQueen]] (who suddenly came into the story after Mater announced that he was there too) immediately takes out the ninjas, only for them to find out that Kabuto is nearly at the tower. Soon, Mater catches up to Kabuto through a pipe that McQueen sends him through with a fireball, and the two of them race up to the top of the tower. Furious and determined to win, Kabuto knocks Mater off the tower, but is shocked to find that Mater had got to the top with his hook, thus winning the race and costing Kabuto his modifications. Now stock, Kabuto is left humiliated by his own ninjas.

In ''[[Cars 2]]'', Kabuto makes two quick cameos as a background car, first when [[Lightning McQueen]] is driving through Tokyo with Mater and his team, and then at the welcome party for the [[World Grand Prix]]. Kabuto is seen with all his known modifications, despite ''Tokyo Mater'' ending with him losing all of them. This may be seen as proof that the events of Mater's tale were made-up and never happened. It can be noted that the ''[[Cars Toons]]'' episode in question is the only in which Mater fails to prove efficiently the reality of his story. However, other suggestions include that it could be another car that looks like Kabuto or that he got his modifications back after the story if it did happen.
In ''[[Cars 2]]'', Kabuto appears during Mater and McQueen's visit to Tokyo in time for the [[World Grand Prix]], first while they are driving through the streets, and later at the welcome party held at the [[Tokyo National Art Center|National Art Center]] with [[Yokoza]], [[Komodo]], [[Chisaki]], [[Harumi]], [[Suki]], and [[Ichigo]]. Here, he has got his modifications back, presumably from jobs that he did, after his race with Mater in ''Tokyo Mater''.

History

Cars Toons

Tokyo Mater

In Tokyo Mater, Kabuto encounters Mater when the latter accidentally touches his paint, upon his arrival, and challenges him to a drift race, that takes them all the way to the top of Tokyo Tower. The winner will be crowned king of all drifters, but the loser will be stripped of all modifications. During the race, Kabuto taunts Mater for not being able to drift so easily compared, and tries to lose him, by summoning his ninjas to attack Mater. However, Lightning McQueen (who suddenly came into the story after Mater announced that he was there too) immediately takes out the ninjas, only for them to find out that Kabuto is nearly at the tower. Soon, Mater catches up to Kabuto through a pipe that McQueen sends him through with a fireball, and the two of them race up to the top of the tower. Furious and determined to win, Kabuto knocks Mater off the tower, but is shocked to find that Mater had got to the top with his hook, thus winning the race and costing Kabuto his modifications. Now stock, Kabuto is left humiliated by his own ninjas.

Cars: Race-O-Rama

In Cars: Race-O-Rama, Mater must compete in a drift race that is very heavily based on the events of Tokyo Mater. Kabuto appears as the only opponent during the race, with the exception of VS mode, where he is replaced by Dragon Lightning McQueen. The race goes around the streets, through a traffic jam, into a construction site, through a pipe, and finally up Tokyo Tower.

Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales

In Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales: The Video Game, Kabuto makes an appearance as a supporting character in the Tokyo Mater set of minigames.

Cars 2

In Cars 2, Kabuto appears during Mater and McQueen's visit to Tokyo in time for the World Grand Prix, first while they are driving through the streets, and later at the welcome party held at the National Art Center with Yokoza, Komodo, Chisaki, Harumi, Suki, and Ichigo. Here, he has got his modifications back, presumably from jobs that he did, after his race with Mater in Tokyo Mater.

General information

Physical description

He somewhat resembles Boost, due to being highly modified and having a similar make model. After losing a race against Mater, he is stripped of any and all modifications, thus turning him into "stock". However, he is seen with his modifications in all of his future appearances. Kabuto is a Kyoku Jitsu and is designed to resemble Boost. He also has a high resemblance to a 1999 Nissan Silvia (S15) with a custom body kit that resembles the Japan Grand Touring Championship racecar. He is painted gray, with black lining and rims. His rims are outlined in red, and red lining elsewhere on his body. He has three spoilers mounted on his back and a gigantic yellow modification on his roof. On his doors, he has long rectangles with red dots and white squares.

Trivia

  • The kabuto is the name of the traditional samurai helmet.
  • In Cars 2, his eyes are brown. But in Tokyo Mater and on his Mattel die-cast, they are green, creating an error. However, since Japanese people normally have brown eyes, it could be assumed that he was wearing green contact lenses.
