[quote="DoveAsh"]Forza Horizon 6 has introduced an exciting way to make your JDM builds feel truly authentic: Kanji Plates.

Pro-Tips for Perfect JDM Builds Match Engine Classes – Big engines like those in a widebody Nissan GT-R or a Toyota Supra look right with a classification code starting with 3 (330, 350, etc.). Stick to Clean Plates for Classics – For 90s street racers or private vehicles, go for the white-background plates with green text. It screams authentic Japanese private use. Custom Text Limits – While you can tweak the 4-digit serial number, the prefecture Kanji and classification numbers usually stay authentic. It’s better to stick with pre-made templates to maintain realism. With a bit of attention to detail, Kanji Plates can transform your car from a generic Horizon build into a mini JDM masterpiece.

Choose the Japanese Template – Switch from the default Horizon plate to the
Japanese Style (Kanji) template
.
Pick Your Region – Scroll through a list of authentic Japanese prefectures like Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto, written in Kanji.
Once selected, your car instantly gains a touch of realism that makes it stand out in any Horizon festival.
Anatomy of a Japanese Kanji Plate
To make your car look authentic, it helps to understand the structure of a Japanese plate:
Prefecture Name (Top Left) – This Kanji indicates the transport office where the vehicle is registered.
Vehicle Classification Code (Top Right) – A 3-digit number that reflects vehicle type and engine size (e.g., 300 for large passenger cars, 500 for compacts).
Hiragana Character (Bottom Left) – A single character showing whether the car is private, rental, or commercial.
Main Serial Number (Center) – A 4-digit number, often separated by a hyphen (like 12-34), serving as your unique registration identifier.
