Creative Itasha

The Itasha these days are really...creative.
Via Neta.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Isn't having a loli in bondage as a car decal kind of like saying... something extremely unflattering about the driver?

That definitely wouldn't fly around here that's for sure. Hmmmm yeah I don't like it it's just too over the top for me.

creative itasha yes, but bondage a bit not for me, and having it as loli puts a bad image for the drive

I just love how the yellow plate is so strategically placed...They might cause the drivers behind them to have accidents (instead of keeping their eyes on the road, they would be to busy looking at bandaged loli girls..

Anyways, not the first one I saw.
I remember seeing one involving a loli and the gas tank lid. She seemed more happy than this Itasha girl though....

Lovely Itasha, would drive it if I could!
Your (un)usual student
Wow....nice one,BTW sry for asking,but does itasha means a painted car with an ecchi pic(sry,still 13,wkwkwkwkwk)???
Your (un)usual student
Ah and pretty pleaseeeee with sugar on top,don't ban me Danny-sama for being under-aged ...
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/
Itasha is sort of a pun, but yes its a car painted with pictures/decals/stickers of anime/game girls.
イタ車 - The "Ita" usually is short for "Italian" or "Italy", the "sha" part means car. Usually Itasha would mean "Italian car", but "Ita" is also the pronunciation of the word for pain "痛", which is what non-Otakus looking at an otaku Itasha would probably experience.
So, "痛車"or "Itasha" = pain car,which is doubly appropriate since these cars almost always tend to be speedy Italian-type sports cars.
Your (un)usual student
Oh,thx alot for the info,sure to remember this next time I heard the name.

Note that it's not necessarily ecchi though, or even a girl from what I know. Pasting an anime character on your car takes either balls or obsession already, and making it ecchi, well...that takes insanity. ^^;

I think that free expression is key, and what someone wants to put on their own car is their own business. Unfortunately, not a lot of other people would agree with me. I expect that a car like that where I live would be smashed and torched in short order. Assuming, of course, that the attackers didn't think it was a set up by the cops.
