Hiromasa Kitano, often nicknamed "Hirobon," is a Japanese racing driver with a diverse background in motorsports. While specific details about his early career are scarce, recent achievements highlight his capabilities in GT racing. Kitano is categorized as a Bronze-rated driver by the FIA.
Kitano has shown strong performances in the GT World Challenge Asia series. In July 2024, driving the #500 Team 5Zigen Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 with Yu Kanamaru, he secured a memorable victory in Race 1 at Suzuka Circuit, holding off Porsche factory driver Laurin Heinrich in a close finish. This win marked the first GT World Challenge Asia victory for the GT-R since 2018 and the first in any SRO-sanctioned series since 2021. Kitano and Kanamaru are no strangers to success at Suzuka, having previously won the Suzuka Super Taikyu 5 Hour Race in 2023 with the same car. He also participated in Super Taikyu series. In 2021, he drove the 339 GPO+KOTA RACING ST-4 car with Kota Sasaki and Tatsuya Hashimoto.
Despite a setback at Okayama in August 2024 where a collision resulted in him dropping out of the top ten, Kitano continues to be a notable competitor in the GT scene.
