You know “itasha”, right? It means “painmobile” and refers to cars covered in nerdy stickers.
These days, everything that has been covered with nerdy imagery — from Shinto plaques to bicycles — seems to get the “ita” label in Japan. Heck, there are even “itachoco” this Valentine’s Day. I guess a literal translation would be “painful chocolate”.
Check out this itachoco gallery, collected by sister site Kotaku Japan from various Japanese Twitter users. Delicious!
