21st Annual JCCS Special Guest Spotlight – BISIMOTO ENGINEERING 
We’re excited to welcome Bisi Ezerioha of Bisimoto Engineering to JCCS® 2026 as our Special Guest and one of the distinguished judges on our Shokunin Awardsl!
And Bisi isn’t coming alone… THREE very different Bisimoto creations will be joining us! 
2025 HONDA ODYSSEY TYPE R
The ultimate sleeper minivan! Built with Jordan Distributors, the factory V6 is gone — replaced by a Civic Type R K20C1 2.0L, Mitsubishi Stage 2 turbo, 6-speed manual and LSD, producing 550+ HP. And yes… it still has three rows of seats!
1997 MITSUBISHI PAJERO EVOLUTION
A true JDM homologation special, built with actor Joe Gatt. Approximately 2,500 road-going Pajero Evolutions were created to homologate the platform for Dakar’s T2 class. Its legendary 3.5L MIVEC 6G74 V6 produces a factory-rated 276 HP, while Bisimoto adds its own touch to this rally-bred machine.
1999 HONDA STEPWGN — JCCS DEBUT!
Old-school Honda practicality meets Bisimoto imagination. Powered by a B20B, this StepWGN will make its JCCS debut this year — so you’ll be among the first to see Bisi’s latest Kyusha creation!
From Kyusha to modern engineering, Bisi has built his reputation by looking at cars differently — exactly the kind of craftsmanship, innovation and thinking we’re excited to bring to this year!
Meet Bisi and see all THREE builds at JCCS® 2026!
JCCS® 2026 スペシャルゲストとして、Bisimoto EngineeringのBisi Ezerioha氏が登場！今年は「Shokunin Panel（職人パネル）」の特別審査員も務めていただきます。
