Now, though, Nissan has come up with a brilliant way to let you sample the itasha life for a day.
From December 1, Nissan will be offering customers the chance to rent a special Note e-Power hatchback with livery featuring the schoolgirl idol cast of hit anime Love Live!
For this first foray into itasha rentals, Nissan Rentcar is limiting availability only to the Numazu Station branch.
On the other hand, once you turn your car into an itasha, it’s not a quick or cheap process to undo.
