A former motocross rider, Hasemi turned to cars with a Nissan Bluebird, and rightly earned a reputation as one of Japan's finest drivers, having been a champion in Formula 2 (1980), sports cars (1990 with Anders Olofsson) and touring cars (1989,1991 and 1992).

He caused a stir with the locally built Kojima on his only Grand Prix appearance in 1976. Benefiting from special Dunlop wet-weather tyres, Hasemi set fastest lap in the pouring rain before they - and his challenge-faded.

He has often been seen outside Japan as a member of the Nissan sports-prototype team, competing regularly at Le Mans, but enjoyed his greatest success in winning the 1992 Daytona 24 Hours with his compatriots Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki.

During the nineties Masahiro has been running his own Nissan Skyline in the All-Japan GT championship, as well as racing an Opel Vectra in the touring car championship.
