Kuwahara did it before GT; the [signature of the GT frame design](https://www.mtbr.com/attachments/timberline1985a-jpg.321381/) at the time was a stubby extension of the top tube beyond the seatpost, to which the seat stays were anchored. I think this had to do with how GT BMX bikes were designed, which had a similar form.
Tange Prestige is nice stuff, I bet that one is pretty light and peppy.

I am having a hard time finding this kuwahara model name on the internet. Does anyone know what it is and from which year?
The serial number looks to be DS830___3 where the blanks are scratched away. It also says PT in a different place on the BB.
I found it on a rubbish pile which this sub seems to have made me obsessed with. It has a deore XT drivetrain, brakes and hubs.

In Australia these were sold as the Shogun Prairie Breaker Team Issue – quite sought after in good condition
