Musashisakai Driving School's Exciting Collaboration with Patlabor EZY

In an innovative fusion of local culture and animation, Musashisakai Driving School located in Musashino City, Tokyo, is proud to unveil a custom-designed wrapped transport vehicle featuring the beloved anime series Patlabor EZY. This venture marks a significant milestone in promoting regional animation culture and is part of the Anime no Musashino initiative aimed at revitalizing the area.

Scheduled for a theatrical release in May 2026, Patlabor EZY brings forth fresh narratives and characters, promising to engage both old fans and new enthusiasts alike. The driving school intends to use this collaboration to highlight the local pride surrounding Musashino City.

On February 21, 2026, an official unveiling ceremony will take place at the Ito-Yokado Musashisakai store, where this eye-catching vehicle will be exhibited from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Attendees will have the chance to get an up-close experience with the vehicle, which embodies the imaginative world of Patlabor EZY. This event not only showcases the vehicle but also serves to strengthen the community's bond with the anime culture, creating a unique intersection of locality and pop culture.

The design of this wrapped transport reflects the beloved characters and themes from the Patlabor franchise, which engages with societal issues in a futuristic Tokyo. The first wrapped vehicle will primarily serve routes connecting Mitaka and Kokushikan University, along with another vehicle traveling through Kichijoji, demonstrating the school's commitment to both education and community engagement.

Musashisakai Driving School, established in 1960, has prided itself on maintaining high standards in driver training and customer service, leading to its recognition as the top driving school in Tokyo based on enrollment statistics from 2021 to 2025. Beyond driver education, the school plays an active role in community service, hosting popular events like traditional mochi-pounding festivals and dance festivals, further fostering a sense of community spirit in Musashino.

As part of the collaboration with the Patlabor EZY production committee, the school sees this initiative as an opportunity to contribute positively to the local culture while appealing to fans of the famed series. The driving school’s commitment to animation culture and community support is set to enhance Musashino City's vibrant atmosphere.

The anticipated Patlabor EZY project includes the first episode premiere as part of the fourth Animmasa Festival in 2025, along with various collaborations with local creators to strengthen ties in the arts and animation sectors within the region. This project showcases the importance of cross-industry partnerships in nurturing creative environments.

With its emphasis on quality training, community spirit, and now, a solidified partnership with an iconic anime series, Musashisakai Driving School continues to carve out a unique identity, bringing people together through shared interests and cultural appreciation.
