Not putting under the bus here. But Keiichi tsuchiya career started before neal bates. Keiichi career started in in 1977 long before the Ae86 came out and he drove for toyotas=1984 Fuji Freshman series race (Toyota AE86)= 6 wins.
And neal bates ran 1991World Rally Championship 56th Toyota Celica GT-Four Neal Bates Motorsport. Thats when his career started. "CAREER" not driving. So I would see why keiichi tsuchiya would support the ae86. And the community would definitely know who tsuchiya. Im not saying truth, Im just stating facts.
