New Tokyo Tram Featuring 'Bodichi-kun'
Sansei Landic Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based company, is set to unveil a unique public transportation initiative on May 1, 2026. The Tokyo Sakura Tram, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, will introduce a distinctively wrapped vehicle prominently featuring the company's mascot, 'Bodichi-kun.' This initiative aims to demystify often complex and challenging real estate concepts such as ground leases, inherited properties, and shared ownership through the use of an approachable character and community transit.
Background: Why 'Tokyo Tram x Bodichi-kun'?
The real estate domain, particularly rights adjustment—a specialty area of Sansei Landic—can be quite complex and obscure to the average individual. The company has undertaken various efforts to simplify these intricate issues through the character 'Bodichi-kun,' helping people understand the underlying principles of real estate rights adjustment. By utilizing the Tokyo Sakura Tram, a mode of public transportation deeply embedded in local culture, the company hopes to reach a diverse audience, including commuters, students, and tourists. This unique format allows them to spread their corporate message in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere of daily life.
Features of the Tram Wrap Design
The exterior of the tram will prominently display the 'Bodichi-kun' character, ensuring that it captures the attention of onlookers while blending harmoniously with the surrounding scenery.

About Sansei Landic Co., Ltd.
Sansei Landic specializes in acquiring and reselling complex real estate properties, including ground leases and older income-generating properties. This 'rights adjustment business' operates nationwide and is publicly listed. The company employs many professionals skilled in rights adjustment, leveraging their extensive knowledge and experience to provide comprehensive solutions for landowners and property owners alike. As there are few publicly listed companies focused solely on real estate rights adjustment, Sansei Landic receives several thousand inquiries each year.
When multiple parties, like landowners, leaseholders, and renters hold rights to a single property, the potential for free utilization of that land becomes restricted, risking a reduction in asset value. Sansei Landic is dedicated to restoring such properties and increasing their liquidity. This commitment not only offers 'peace of mind' to clients but aims to realize the full potential of properties. Recently, the company has also been involved in projects aimed at revitalizing unused real estate, contributing to sustainable community development. They aspire to grow the local urban landscape while ensuring that the highest standards of residential value and community spirit are maintained.
