For cars, Japan has itasha, which literally means "painmobile". These automobiles are covered in anime, manga and video game imagery. Not everyone in Japan has a car. Many people have bicycles. This post is for them.At recent otaku gathering Moe Haku 2010, itachari ("paincycle") were on display featuring designs from Namco Bandai's idol simulator game THE iDOLM@STER to fighter plane girl franchise Strike Witches. http://gigazine.net/index.php?/news/comments/20100321_moehaku2010_itacycle/
