"Itasha" means Pain car in Japanese.  This could refer to the pain you feel when looking at it or the cost to your wallet after building it :-)  Basically an Itasha car is one that is covered in pictures of Anime, Manga, and Pop star decals.  Some look really cool.  I think the one I built does.

Funny,  that is exactly how I felt when I first saw them. But the more I looked at them the more I wanted to try and build one.  It took me a couple of years to get one but after I got started on it, it turned out to be quite fun :-)  I do tend to stretch my modeling window so to speak, I've built 18 wheelers, customs, low riders, and even a "Donk" 94 Impala!

Thank you very much for the complement!

Oh, BTW, the anime series is pretty cool as well (and I'm 59 years old!)  It is called "The Devil is a part-timer."  You can get more info on it from Wikipedia if interested.

(So yes, I've built the car and bought the DVD!)
