Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dekotora culture peaked in the 1970s as working-class escapism — these rolling light shows cost more than the trucks themselves.
Norifumi Suzuki directed four Truck Yaro films in just three years while simultaneously making exploitation cinema — the man's stamina was unreal.
