‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc’ Movie Release Marked by Limited-Edition Wrapped Taxis in Tokyo
S.RIDE Inc. is launching a fleet of eight distinctively wrapped taxis to commemorate the nationwide premiere of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Infinity Castle Arc – Chapter 1: Akaza’s Return. The vehicles will be available for a limited time, from Tuesday, July 8, to Monday, August 11, 2025, within the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The collaboration will feature eight unique designs, each showcasing one of the franchise’s most iconic characters: protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and the seven powerful Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. The event is positioned as a can’t-miss experience for fans of the series.
S.RIDE App Receives “Demon Slayer” Makeover, Allowing Fans to Hail Specific Taxis
During the campaign period, the S.RIDE app will adopt a special “Demon Slayer” theme. A key feature will be a custom map interface that displays the real-time locations of the collaboration taxis using character icons. This will allow users to track the movements of their favorite character-themed vehicle.
Furthermore, the app will enable users to specifically request and hail a vehicle of their choice. By tapping the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Infinity Castle Arc icon in the upper right corner of the app screen, fans can select a specific limited-edition vehicle for a unique and memorable ride.
Exclusive In-Car Commercial Features Star-Studded Voice Cast
Inside vehicles equipped with the “GROWTH” rear-seat tablet media system, passengers will be treated to an exclusive commercial created for this collaboration.
The spot will feature the four main voice actors from the series: Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado), Akari Kito (Nezuko Kamado), Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu Agatsuma), and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Inosuke Hashibira). This special feature aims to transform the taxi ride into an immersive experience that draws passengers into the world of Demon Slayer. The exclusive commercial will air from Tuesday, July 8, to Sunday, July 27, 2025.
