Ever wondered what custom vans look like when they sprout wings? Buckle up and check out these photo links for a glimpse into the world of Japanese vanning.
- Satoshi Minakawa: Incredible studio shots by Satoshi Minakawa. (Go to the “Conceptual 02″ gallery and scroll to the right. Be patient with the Flash interface — it’s worth the wait.)
- 1.st Air Brush & Body Work: Photos of amazing work by a custom body shop, featuring lots of cartoon and anime-themed airbrush designs. Who says mean machines can’t look cute?
- Bizarro’s World: IwateBuddy’s Flickr photoset of tricked out vans spotted in his neck of the woods. The van on the right (above) sports an airbrush of pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki.
- Blue Style: About 10 more photos of pimped rides showing love for Ayumi. (To view the photos, look for the “Gallery” section in the sidebar and click the 4th link from the bottom.)
- Blue Style blog: A few more good ones. Disney never looked so damn hot!
- Vanning House: Several dozen photos here, including a nice shot of a loungy interior… and a pimpin’ Hello Kitty van. (To access the gallery, click on the second link (orange text) from the left.)
- Strange Vehicles: A few more extreme Japanese vans from a variety of sites.

Die spinnen, die Japaner…
Dass im Ausland mehr Tuning erlaubt ist, als in Deutschland, daran haben wir uns ja schon gewöhnt. Aber was mit solch laschen Regelungen für Schabernack getrieben werden kann zeigen uns die Japaner mit solchen Vans:

[…] The Ayu-Van Blog by jamie Blogging in Fucked up Pink Tentacle has uncovered a ton of shots of uniquely Japanese pimped out vans.

[…] A Tour To The Vader Project / The Vader Project’s Page It’s so big that it’s iconic and there is an exclusive exhibition for it. It’s a pop icon. Talking about extreme fan produced item, look at this transformer’s costume. And also we can always applause the Japanese for their love over an icon that they would take it to the extreme. […]
[…] Although these van conversions are completely mad, I would actually love to have a van pimped out in this way. Some of the mods are superb, with a great sound system and a huge screen as well, coupled with some very transformer style body mods. Although the whole idea is a little bit whacky, it also carries a geeky anime cool - which makes it alright in my books. I can honestly say I want one of these vans. […]

It’s a masculine, masturbatory affair that I never quite understood the appeal of. In Japan, they like to pimp out vans. It’s no less masturbatory, but it’s certainly not as masculine.

Extremely bad taste. Those vans look ridiculous. I prefer the American custom vans from the 70s…much cooler. Same old story, the Americans invent it first, then comes the rest of the world to copy.
yikes is a moron who can’t handle japanese innovation.
krass aldda. wirklisch krass
yikes, why did you bother to visit this place? To spray racist venom? Luckily, most Americans aren’t closed minded like you and think that USA is #1 in everything. These vans are cool, silly and fun to look at. If you can’t see that then OK but please STFU!

~Allison~ X3
Holy. Farting. Sheep.
I want one. Something not over the top, but with some of those styling cues.
Obviously, aerodynamics is no longer the goal with the extreme mods as compared to the more sane ones.

Ha Ha nice words from most which is great!!!
I fell in love with these vans a few years ago and so I had one shipped over to me in the UK in 2005.
Best show car I’ve owned yet and it just spreads love wherever it goes.
I really hope Japanese vanning takes off over here and around the world. We set up a new website in the hope Japanese, UK and alll other Vanners could meet at www.vanning-zoku.com
