When the Anime world and Car world collide in Japan - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

RHDJapan · 10-16-2009, 02:00 AM

Itasha Gathering in Odaiba, Tokyo on the 4th of October 2009. For those who are not aware, an Itasha is a car decked out with anime decals!

It translate to "painful car", which can be viewed as painfully embarrassing for the owner or painful to their wallets. It is a relatively new scene here in Japan and was very interesting to see. There were some nice example of nicely done up cars which also has the performance to match, so you can laugh at them until they whoop your ass on the track. There were close to 800 cars with not enough time to get the details but we did what was possible to show the event as a whole. Just about any type of vehicle participated in the event from VIP, Imports, Classics, K-Cars, Full tuned Sports, Wagons, Family and ECO.
Some may feel that the vehicles have been defaced and some may take a more light-hearted view. One thing that is for certain is that there are alot of creative ways to accent your vehicle with vinyl and many of the designs took alot of time and effort to create.
Hope you guy enjoy the pictures and get some creative inspiration out of them.

More pictures can be found on our blog!!

The japanese are always stepping outside the box.I have seen alot of those movies to.

*Touge Noob S13* · 10-16-2009, 03:40 PM

Very Very cool, some of those cars look pretty well built too. The "Rei-mobile" does scare me though.

Some "Itasha" Super GT cars

I don't know why this is the craze now in Japan but it is. I heard they actually spend countless hours hand cutting some of the vinyl! that's crazy. Interesting thread though.

JDMTUNER · 10-28-2009, 09:33 PM

Oyama · 10-29-2009, 05:37 PM

I actually like anime drift vinyls on jap cars but that shit there is just too much pedophile porn style.
