Grape-kun & Hululu Fly High on Kemono Friends Itasha Airplane Design
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
You've already heard of itasha (literally, "painful car") Kemono Friends design on Tuesday.
Soratobu Tanuki's Ita Hikōki Project already Eromanga Sensei-wrapped plane in May. The design for the new Kemono Friends plane features 25 Kemono Friends.
The design also features the real-world penguin Grape-kun near the nose of the plane next to Hululu. Fans have been attached to a Hululu cardboard cutout earlier this year.
The Ita Hikōki Project again plans to wrap a PA-46 light aircraft in anime designs. The plane will operate from November 4 to December 5. The aircraft will also be on display at various airports in Japan in November and December.
The project is holding a crowdfunding campaign for the Kemono Friends plane with a goal to raise about 3 million yen ($26,000). Backer rewards include stickers (seen below), key holders, T-shirts, name on the plane, taking pictures and video of the plane from the air, and riding in the plane.
As of Tuesday, the campaign has raised 1,755,000 yen (US$15,000) from 155 ers, and the second wave of crowdfunding will end on November 30.
