EMWRAPS wrapped this Toyota GR Supra in a Death Note itasha livery featuring Misa Amane at our Seattle shop in SODO. Misa appears in her gothic lolita outfit against dark tones, with Death Note typography and symbols. A race livery layout adds dynamic lines and sponsor-style placements, so the car reads as a motorsport build as much as an anime tribute.

What does the Death Note livery look like?
The design is gothic anime on a JDM sports car. Death Note is one of anime's best-known psychological thrillers, and Misa Amane is one of its most visually striking characters, so the livery leans into her look: the gothic lolita outfit, a dark palette, and the series' typography and symbols.
The race livery format is what keeps it from looking like a poster on a car. Dynamic lines run along the body, and sponsor-style placements sit where a real race car would carry them. That structure gives the character art an authentic motorsport feel.
Why does the GR Supra suit an itasha?
The GR Supra is a pillar of JDM culture, which makes it a natural canvas for anime-inspired builds. Its flowing body lines and aggressive stance complement large character artwork, and the long, curved panels give an illustration room to move from the front of the car to the rear.
Curves like the Supra's are also what make the install demanding. The art has to stay sharp and undistorted as the vinyl is heat-formed over compound shapes, and each panel has to line up with the next so lines and lettering carry across the gaps.
How do we build an anime race livery?
Design, print and install all happen in-house at EMWRAPS.
- Consultation. We talk through the series, the character and the style: clean illustration, manga panels or a race livery like this one.
- Design. The artwork, lines and sponsor-style placements are laid out for the car's actual body.
- Print and laminate. The approved design is printed in high resolution and laminated for UV and scratch protection.
- Install. Each panel is aligned so the art and graphics flow across gaps and curves.
What does a GR Supra itasha cost?
At EMWRAPS, printed vinyl itasha runs $580–$720 for a hood, $2,500–$4,000 for a half body (one side plus the hood) and $4,000–$8,000+ for a full body with custom art. If you want the art on self-healing paint protection film, printed PPF costs about 50% more. The final price depends on the vehicle's size and shape and the artwork, and every build gets a quote.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Death Note itasha wrap cost?
A Death Note itasha wrap at EMWRAPS in Seattle costs $580–$720 for a printed vinyl hood, $2,500–$4,000 for one side plus the hood, and $4,000–$8,000+ for a full body with custom art. Where a race livery with character art lands in those ranges depends on how many panels it covers. The final price depends on the car and the design, and comes with a quote.
Is a GR Supra good for an itasha wrap?
Yes. The Toyota GR Supra's flowing body lines, long curved panels and aggressive stance give large anime artwork room to stretch from front to rear, and its place in JDM culture fits the itasha scene. The curves make the install demanding, so the art has to be heat-formed carefully and aligned panel to panel to stay sharp.
Will an itasha wrap hurt a GR Supra's paint?
A properly installed itasha wrap does not hurt a GR Supra's factory paint. The printed vinyl protects the paint underneath while it is on the car, and vinyl comes off without harming factory paint when it is removed properly. That lets the owner go back to stock or move on to a new series later. Printed PPF adds self-healing chip protection.
