He gained popularity on several Japanese videos with BAKA-MON, his trademarked logo that translates loosely as "stupid monkey."[3] Players of the Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights video game need to compete against a representation of Yamada to advance in the game.[1] Before that, he was a regular feature on Video Option.

Yamada has raced in numerous series in Japan and America since 1981. His championships include the 1991 Formula Mirage class and 2002 N1 Super Taikyu endurance.[3][4]

Yamada, competing in the Cyber Evo, is a two-time World Time Attack Challenge champion (2010, 2011) in the event held annually in Sydney, Australia.[citation needed]
