FS: JAPANESE LICENSE PLATE - Toyota Yaris Forums

IllusionX · 10-25-2013, 03:45 PM

Hmm.. According to wikipedia, yello plate means is for Kei car. useless for our Yaris.

the kanji is the name of the issuing office. and White plates can have the following hiragana:

さすせそたちつてとなにぬねのはひふほまみむめもやゆよらりるろ

A license plate in Japan thus follows this format: KK?*H##-## (e.g., 足立500き21-41), where KK is the name of the issuing office in kanji, H is a hiragana, ? is a 5 for vehicles less than 2000 cc and a 3 for vehicles greater than 2000 cc (other numbers are less common—1 for large trucks, 2 for buses, etc.[1]), * is a number from 0 to 99 (pre-1971 license plates will omit this), and # is a number from 0* to 9 (*leading zeros are replaced by centered dots).

so these plates were made custom, but did not follow real japanese plating style.
