Dopa Itasha Showfloor

Itasha (痛車) in Japanese translates to “cringe/pain car.” It refers to a car subculture highlighting decals and anime graphic car wraps. The Itasha section of SMASH! envisions providing an interactive experience, flaunting a creative environment to merge cosplay, culture, and cars.

Treat your eyes with the shine and rumble of Itasha. Featuring your favourite anime characters and intricate decal designs on the coolest of cars. Come by and take some cool photos with the cars and cosplayers alike!

Vote for your favourite Itasha and join our guest judge, Noriyaro, and find out who wins in this year’s DOPA Itasha Display Competition at the Gaming Stage on Sunday, 12:15 PM.

We have even more Itasha fun this year! This year see the first Pitstop Challenge, where you’ll attempt to break the day’s speed record by undoing lugnuts on a tyre! More of a racing person? Come join us at our Initial D Arcade Stage 8 cabinets and have a go drifting your way through courses made famous by the hit manga and anime show: Initial D!

We can’t wait to greet you at our new show-floor!
