About a century ago, the bicycle licenses were manufactured at the establishment time. It changed from the bicycle to the motorcycle and has changed to automobiles. The number plate has simply played the role, contrasting to the automotive society that advanced rapidly in this 100 years. In recent years, number plates have taken on a new role.
The start was that in July 2007, the number plate of "cloud" shape was adopted for motorcycles under 125 cc in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. Since then, Each municipality has created number plates for moped bikes that express the characteristics of the area.
