These trucks were initially seen in the first of ten Torakku Yaru films, which were released by Toei in 1975 and featured Dekotora vehicles. Inspired by the popular movie, people started building the automobiles themselves. By the 1990s, there were even several variations of Dekotora trucks, such as the Kansai, Kanto, and Retro models.
