Oiwa to Showcase Premier Japanese Kei Truck Customizations and Exclusive Products at SEMA Booth Long Beach, CA 08-03-2024 — Oiwa, a leading specialist in Japanese Mini Trucks (Kei trucks), is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming SEMA show. At this year’s event, Oiwa will be highlighting its exclusive partnership with Kyoritsu, a renowned Japanese company with a 47-year legacy in truck customization. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Oiwa as it introduces Kyoritsu’s innovative Grasshopper line of customized Kei trucks to the U.S. market. Showcasing Japanese Craftsmanship The SEMA booth will serve as the official U.S. debut of Kyoritsu’s Grasshopper series, a line that reimagines the classic Kei truck as a sporty two-door hatchback coupe. The Grasshopper vehicles feature a distinctive slanted hatch on the bed, merging the practicality of a truck with the dynamic design of a coupe. Two fully customized Kei trucks will be on display: 1. The Grasshopper Support Truck (Red Edition) - Description: Designed for on-the-go professionals, this red Kei truck features ample storage, stainless steel drawers, and top-tier lighting, all within a sleek, lowered profile. 2. The Grasshopper Camper Edition (Green Edition) - Description: Tailored for outdoor enthusiasts, this model includes a fold-down tailgate with a built-in hibachi-style grill, sink, and sleeping space, all housed in a stylish green exterior with black wheels. Exclusive Body Kits and Customization Opportunities In addition to the Grasshopper series, Kyoritsu has developed one-of-a-kind body kits specifically for the Honda Acty. These kits include custom elements such as a front bumper, brush guard, fender flares, and side paneling. These exclusive parts will be available for sale through Oiwa Garage starting in 2025. Oiwa will begin accepting customization requests for Kei trucks purchased through its platform, allowing customers to have their vehicles customized by Kyoritsu in Hiroshima before being shipped to the U.S. This partnership underscores Oiwa’s commitment to bringing the best of Japanese craftsmanship to American customers.
