Cars featuring Japanese Characters

[killerjaaaaack]

I was taking a look at the Amemiya cars today and wondering if there were any other cars in the game that featured Japanese characters on the paint jobs. Anyone know of any??

1. Toyota Denso Sard Supra GT '00
2. Toyota Altezza Touring Car
3. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV Rally '97
4. Mitsubishi Pajero Evo Rally Raid Car '03
5. Opera Performance S2000 '04
6. Mugen S2000 '00 (on plates)
7. Honda Mugen Motul Civic Si Race Car '87
and a few more but are not too visible - just look.

The RAYBRIG NSX SuperGT/GT500 '06 has some symbol on the spoiler. You can easily spot it during replays or when racing.

The Lexus Petronas Tom's SC430 has three characters on the side of fender near the cowl. Are you aware that there are three Japanese written languages? The older Chinese characters, Kanji and two phonetic alphabets, Hiragana and Katakana?

Here is a view of Petronas

I colored the characters in red.

There are four characters that you're pointing. And there's another set of characters, right below the driver's helmet, on the door.

And hey, it's no different written languages, it's just different sets of characters, with different usage.

OK, found one more, there must be quite a few. This is the Nissan Yellowhat YMS Tomica GT-R

Down at the front the three characters just to the right of "Motul" which would pronouce as "Tomica"

Looks like the Japanese version of this!

Edit: It's definately Tomica though.

Well for the year I lived there and learned all three they are different. Katakana is used to transliterate European words. When you learn that alphabet you can read store signs like, "newstandu" and "bicycleu" and "steaku house". All words must end with a vowel sound to make it work for the Japanese.
The other is used to sound out the traditional Japanese words. Back in time only the rich could school the children to learn to read the difficult Chinese characters. So the legend is Pricess Murisaki devised an sounding alphabet to allow the common people to sound out the words and thereby read.
Today young children learn that and travel at very young ages on the trains and the train stops are spelled out in both the Kanji and Hiragana. This is used for very common Japanese words. So they are not the same, there is no way to write the same word in Katakana and Hiragana.
Here is an example

The children learn to read the smaller somewhat curlicue characters until they can learn to read the Chinese characters, which for this sign, which translates into "eastern capital" or Tokyo.

I didn't say they're same. I've said that they're have different usage, which means their functions aren't same.

One more thing: Hiragana characters that used to represent Kanji readings are called Furigana.

Back to the topic: Check racing modifications of Mazda RX7, look for them in UCD.
