Itasha Showcase
Itasha Showcase
Celebrate the fusion of anime car culture and the virtual idol phenomenon at our Itasha Showcase! This event highlights itasha—cars wrapped with custom artwork of your favorite VTubers.
Originating from Japan, itasha (痛車, “painful car”) refers to vehicles decorated with colorful wraps and decals featuring beloved characters from anime, manga, and video games. But around here, it’s not pain—it’s passion. Each vehicle is a moving tribute, showcasing the passion and creativity of fans who turn their admiration into bold, road-ready art. Whether you’re here for the sleek rides, stunning designs, or just to rep your oshi, this is the place where the VTuber community meets car culture in full color.
Join fellow fans, artists, and creators for a day of photos, fandom, and pure virtual energy—brought to life on wheels.
