The extremes of devotion with which some otaku have decorated their precious itasha have lately fallen under critical scrutiny for the deleterious effects they may exert on the concentration and driving ability of the lucky owners, to say nothing of other road users…
Some of the more extreme examples – to what extent some of the more egregious cases actually find themselves driven about in that condition is not clear (the dolls and dakimakura are presumably for show, although moeblob-obscured windows are clearly not), but all are apparently road legal at any rate:
Anyone else notice that the dolls in many of these cars had seatbelts on?
Safety first!
Hmmmm, I guess I’m the only person who would do their car to look like the Char’s Zaku. I think it’d be intersting is people itasha’d their cars like that, or some old school anime.
It’s just a moe sticker and otaku equipment…
After event is finish than everything is quick to remove! Easy and well done!!!
Some fancy nice cars there… goes to get some spice & wolf goodies for the car!
Amazingly ugly decals…
These Otaku really don’t have the artist’s vision.
GOD DAMN I WANT ONE OF THOSE PLUSHIE IN THAT GREEN MIKU CAR. D:
good lord…
UIHARU ITASHA 4TW!! lol, last picture 😀
I’m curious, what kind of car is picture 29 and 30?
I have never seen one before(looks like a geo storm or some variant thereof)
Glad I ain’t driving a car, else I would be in accident every now and then.

I will soooo not drive any of these, not because of embarrassment but rather that they are too awesome to risk ruining!
The definition of ‘ricers’ has just been taken to a whole new level.
…
I admit I like the Azusa Impreza. Just get that chair dakimura case off and assuming the rest of the car isn’t…ostentatious
I want to thank Sankaku… for when I’m in doubt or disarray about me not having a life, I read an entry like this and realize: I have a life…
I wouldn’t dare to drive any of these around though without a mask and private area to hide this.
61 pisses me off. A car that pimpin’ shouldn’t be vandalized like that
SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS
What would happen to Japans economy if these people had any sense of embarasment at all at owning all of these things
*cracks knuckles*
I want to “talk” to the piece of shit who has the Green miku Car”
The Miku porn itasha is just too high level…
Haha, that last one is awesome 😀
These are some incredible itasha, though I definitely could not be seen driving one as ridiculous as this. I do think the printed gauge faces are pretty epic though.
I would kill to have one of the mazdas.
Ther IS such a thing as ‘too much of a good thing’.
Agreed. Some people end up making their ride look like an eyesore.
Squidmobile…
…and who’s the girl on the left in pic #39?
28, 69 were cute – the rest were just fucking ridiculous. I can’t help but admit some otaku take it just too far when it comes to collecting mad gobs of the same shit for one character, much to the point that it becomes less devotion and more insulting towards the art ‘waifu’, as nothing is done within taste!
The same with all the random packing of trinkets and shit all over the dashboard, who in their right mind finds this satisfying?!
Look out! Flock of pigeons approaching from the East!
the 2CV is hilarious
i have to wonder who does these paint jobs.
Actually a lot of these cars have vinyl graphics on them – Much cheaper than a custom airbrushed paint job.
006 is the best, but did this guy just write “Konata” wrong?
Not necessarily wrong. It kinda seems like this car is a tribute to Konata’s mom, Kanata. Their names are very close in spelling.
And I agree with you, it is the best. I like how both mother and daughter’s blue hair compliments the blue car.
ah thanks, totally forgot her mothers name <,<
How much ammount of bad taste. I mean, I understand if people likes that kind of thing, but if you are going to transform your car into a moe temple at least make it cool. Don’t put just some random pictures of your favorite character everywhere.
Someone should ninja some famous rapper/stereotype gangsta’s car and replace it one of these.
Best you’ve been punk’d antic ever.
Yeah. “Speed Moe Makeover! Our team will otakuize your ride in thirty minutes flat, or you get your money back!”
the CRZ (konata and her mother) and 71 of Azuna are the best.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Append miku car.. DROOOLLLL!!! man that is hot..
Nice. I wanna do one in America.
dat horscycle.
Wow, look at all the stuffed Mikus :3
Gah! Why do that to such nice cars. >.<
Dat Lucky Star!
Pic 071 dat Azunyan in the window.
Id drive 45. Id drive the fuck out of it.
With a picture like that, Id drive it and feel invincible.
Hah! a 2CV Itasha!?
Brilliant. I applaud you sir!
It takes guts to ride one.
It is the true pride of an Otaku to ride one.
Pick you poison, ’cause I am saving my money already.
oreimo s14 ftw!!!!
Ore no kuruma ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai.
I’m ok with this!
that van with the dolls is so totally not creepy
If I had no risk of social disgust and ridicule I would deffinatly purchase 1 of those, probably the vocaloid one
I love 45.
I totally want to do this when I get a car.
One day my car will be plastered with scantly clad women…..one day…..
I think L.A. Low Riders would give them a run for their money!
not really. L.A. Otakus can do the same but with racing cars
this picture just proves one thing: otakus are loaded. so girls should aim for otakus even if theyre somewhat creepy with the otakuness and then who knows, some may not be that otaku anymore. doesnt mean not to give up on it.
Wow some of those look like those cars from Mexico with all that stuff in them. Dash to dash all the way to the back window.
That miku car certainly is… undrivable.
But man, I’m so jealous of some of them.
Uiharu itasha.
Now that’s definitely a ride I must get on before I die!
TO THE WAIFUMOBILE!
Ok, Pedobearman!
Holy Striped Pantsu Pedobearman!
IT IS I TENTACLEMAN IM HERE TO TAKE YOUR WAIFUMOBILE AND USE it as a Pleasuring Tool
ha ha oh wow. these vehicles are amazing.
Konata and K-ON cars
Miku Mobiles
Asuka Autos
Lucky Star cars
liek grown up hot wheels. . Or rather pimp mobiles.
^_^
oppai steering wheel is ingenious.
gotta love #71, lol.
How the fuck does any otaku afford this?
they don’t have girlfriends, hence the excess cash
They are definitely richer than you both can be.
SOme of them are obviously “only show” cars. Prolly with reeeely strict parents who won’t let them go overboard in the house. So they dress up one of their toys to show dedication.
this is why i wanna win the lotery. just buy a expensive car, like a bentley and just go all otaku on it. maybe a nice rozen maiden theme or just something realy loli style. just for shock value.
I didn’t think it was possible to make a Prius driver look any more like a twat, but that would do it…
ಠ_ಠWhat is this I don’t even.
I like the Neru vs Rin, Kana/Kona and Lucky Star cars the best; they look really professionally done.
Oh my god…
They ruined a poor citroen.
a good C2V ruined ;_;
In what way did they ruin it? These are just vinyl decorations.
I find it amusing that most westerners complain how these Japanese otaku “ruin” their cars. Decorating them will not ruin these cars.
You know what ruins them? Using them for what they weren’t designed to be used for, like drag racing and burnout “competitions”. Many of those legendary Japanese sport cars has been destroyed in the west because of these, so I think it would be wise for these pepole to just shut up…
I’d like to drive a lucky star car to a lucky star temple.
One does not simply put a Hatsune Miku designed Vinyl on a Ferrari.
What have you been inhaling!!!!
too jealous…
must..not..kill…
More like otasha, amirite?
In the rest of the world you propably could go to jail just for parking some of these in a public spot.
Yeah, if you live in some third world country.
orange yui car, me likey
Car, car, car, car, car, car, bike horse, car, car
Wait what
Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Mushroom!
looks like there are ponies there too!
Looks like a Trojan Horse XD It seems that most of the car are meant for showing off or perhaps just for that owner to sleep with their ‘waifu’.
I find number 61 to be most classy.
Mmmhmmm. Right Elizabeth?
*singboard*
Gunsam is more interesting.
#34 has air bags, so at least it’s safe for the driver
Oppai airbags. Must have for all itasha.
#13, 14, 17…
I don’t even-
ಠ_à²
my mother will die if i bring one of those home, for various reasons…
I can just imagine Artefact having a car in blaze orange,… maybe even day glow orange, with a dusting of highly reflective silicates for extra glare!
– though one must wonder whose “likenesses” will adorne it…. ^_^
Guys guys, you are all missing the obvious thing. If you chuck out all the other seats you have room for your own entertainment center in the car! Its not like you will be having any passengers…
In an otaku’s mind, every seat has a passenger. And he himself is not driving.
lol @ pic #16
The otaku probably expects to never have a side passenger so he fills it up with dolls.
Of course not.
well, if tv-stations pays for commercial purpose i would drive “it” on public roads, as an car modder i would be furious, as an artist good work on the hq supersize decals
I wanted to see the whole car in 45. Oh well time to go stealing.
the “lucar” is made of glorious win
the “azucar” is made of creepy o_o (non, it’s not “sweet”)
I will paint my ferrari if i have the car
If you can’t afford the real thing – others have done the same with smaller scale models and R/C cars. At least if you trick out an R/C car you can put your figmas in them.
If the cars in 47 ad 61 are real and not some form of remake I’m going otaku hunting.
61 looks to be an excalibur.
I was thinking a Zimmer, but you may be right.
http://www.zimmermotorcars.com/index.php?page=kermit
I’m braindead the Excalibur was a Zimmer. 😛
47 is definitely real, it’s called Citröen 2cv
nope its called “citroneta”
XD
uh don’t you mean “death trap” ?
Wow, they have got galaxy angel car. Oldschool.
Thank you for sharing these. Some of them were great.
No Steins; Gate DeLorean

Azunyan leaning forward the window while Ui pouts at the back. The set-up’s simply brilliant 🙂
#45 is one of my favorite Miku pictures ever. I think I have every single version of it, wallpaper size.
I can see why.
wont the police go: “look there’s a child in that car that’s trying to get out…”
They’d so bust the driver for being in the same car with a child
And then, like any good cop, they’d take the child for themselves.
Ton Chan
I know, right. XD Just brilliant and funny all at the same time.
with her at the window, i wonder who would dare to smash the window to steal the car…
with her at the window, I would ram my car into…
They’ll smash the car to steal that window.
Agreed lmao
#5/#6
it´s so beautiful, words can´t describe it.
Luka has the classiest auto on display there.
Approve.
Need lots of determination to drive one of those on public road
More like concentration! It would be pretty hard to drive while doing your best not to stare at all of that stuff.
Awesome!
#71 awesome….but i like #35 the most, didnt expect there are people still appreciate the good old Galaxy Angel.
Yes, I totally would’ve high-fived that guy.
69 is the best one.
69 and 71 for sure.
You cannot escape Azu-nyan!
Forget escaping, I’d rather be chased by this Azunyan!
you cannot escape [comma] Azunyan ! *FIXED*
Grand theft auto, anyone?
How could you steal one of those? It’s way to easy to describe an ita-sha to police.
Ita-sha = best anti-theft system if you ask me.
Try driving a 2004 Crown Vic ex-cop car. NOBODY messes with it either in parking lots or on the road.
Except they’re ugly as f*ck.
I love my ex cop car. People keep their distance whenever I drive it.
Most of those are low-rider cruisers, than street racing machines.
Try stealing one at speed you’re gonna wreck and mabeh keeel yourself.
Texture pack?
i call shotgun
and I’ll bring one to help with the “acquirement” of said vehicle 😀
I call ak47
This is the saddest most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen otaku do. Seal off the place like you would during a zombie attack and shoot them all.
Too bad we couldn’t seal YOU up!
Good job ruining those cars, some were even classics.
oh please, it’s their car …
now take hollywood , THEY are ruining classics !
Sorry, but your car has caught ClanAIDS.
