Dekotora is a weird and expensive hobby in Japan, involving putting crazy, garish art and hundreds of neon lights on big trucks. It's sort of like the ground-effects/import-tuning scene, but on ridiculously enormous trucks, without the performance enhancements, and without restraint. Basically these guys end up building mobile Las Vegases.It's also the subject of a Wii game called Zenkoku Dekotora Matsuri (Nationwide Dekotora Festival), the latest in a line of console dekotora games from Jaleco. While those dealt mainly with carrying cargo on time (in order to earn money to make your truck a more disgusting spectacle) Spike is doing something different with their newly-announced DS dekotora game, Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu (Roaring Dekotora Legend), part of a different established series of dekotora games. This game is about, yes, making your truck look like Liberace's house fell on it, but also smashing rival trucks on the road.
