Jap Translation
Discussion
Google doesn't always do it right for some reason, it's either translating the english word straight into japanese (sukuratchi) or "kizu" which I think means crack. This one is pretty good: http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/
I think you want "hikkaki".

On this yeah the number was just for my cars year, 92....but in Japan this would be a classification number. The top word is a area code for Tama, Tokyo. The marking to the left of the plate is used a bit like our prefix letter, ie they follow suit in an alphabet.
Proper plates are pressed tin, but you cant get pressed with enough digits for my plate, so this one is printed.
This one is the full size import plate dimensions, just so it filled up the JDM stock plate holder properly.

Easiest £60 FPN ever if they so wish. Plus a rectification notice, new legal plate(s), and a visit to a MOT tester. If they don't like the cut of your jib, a report to DVLA. Get caught a second time and you will really p*** them off. Carry on and DVLA could revoke your reg number. Otoh you may be left alone for many more days/weeks/months."You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well,....."
Well....given that I held the smallest plate on record for Nottinghamshire, at 1x4.5" on my old bike....Im quite used to being pulled for plates 
And, being an mot tester I really should know better.
But, Ive been known to baffle coppers in the past with a barrage of information, so given that the mot tester is not required to physically measure the dimensions of the characters and also given that imports are allowed motorcycle sized characters...I should be able to put some doubt in his mind. I just wont mention that mot regs are different to construction and use lol. Ive never had a fine for a plate to be honest, always just rectification notices, even for the diddy bike plate and also the black and silver plates that the Cossie used to wear.

Why go to all that trouble, when a simple 'I'm a cock' sticker would perform the same function?
