Itasha (痛車) are vehicles decorated to show the owner's devotion to an anime/videogame character or series. "Ita" is Japanese for ouch or painful, which is a tongue-in-cheek reference to "the pain inflicted on the cars as well as the owner's wallet."[1]

An itasha dedicated to Nico Yazawa from Love Live!.
