    Itasha is the official term for these anime schemed cars and has around since the 80's. Itasha derives from combining the Japanese words for itai (painful) and sha (vehicle). As in "painfully embarrassing". Cars include everything from Civic's, Camaro's, Alfa Romeo's, and even go as far as GT-R's and Ferrari's. These cars aren't just for show either as many tuners build these for the track as well.

    Here are some pics from one such Itasha Track Meet.

    Yes, once I open my anime store, I will be doing something similar to the Mustang.

    Nate, I remember you wanted to do a running anime girl with tentacles chasing her on the side of the Yaris before! I've wanted to put some anime thing on a car for a long time.

    lol, that's because they were offering to give my car a display at AWA if I did. Maybe I can do something similar to the Mustang.

    I'm still talking with suppliers and seeing what's available out there. Anime Remix on Pleasant Hill either closed or relocated. You could see it coming though because they didn't keep sh*t in stock. There's a Japanese store that opened in Town Center Mall called Nico Nico so I'm going to be keeping an eye on them, just to see how they do. If they do well, then I'll start searching for outlets on Barrett Pkwy since it's got a lot of heavy traffic. If not, I may be reconsidering my plans. Time will tell.
