About Us

Welcome to Japanese Car Stickers, your premier news source dedicated to the vibrant culture of Japanese car stickers and their impact globally since our inception in 2015. Born from a passion for Japanese automotive culture and the lack of comprehensive resources on its iconic stickers, our website emerged as a beacon for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Our Journey

Founded on a quiet evening in 2015 by a group of friends at a small garage in Tokyo, Japanese Car Stickers started as a humble blog sharing insights on the latest trends, designs, and meanings behind popular stickers found on cars across Japan. Recognizing the growing interest and the information gap in the international community, we expanded our vision to encompass a broader spectrum of news, feature stories, and in-depth analyses on the subject.

Over the years, we’ve reached several milestones, including our first million website visits in 2017, launching our quarterly e-magazine in 2018, and hosting our inaugural sticker design contest in 2019, which drew in thousands of entries from talented artists worldwide.

Purpose and Mission

Our mission is simple: to serve as the most reliable and engaging source of information on Japanese car stickers. We’re dedicated to unveiling the stories, art, and culture wrapped around this unique aspect of automotive decor, bridging cultural gaps, and connecting communities of enthusiasts globally.
