When anime dreams invade real life, you don’t just get cosplay—you get Kuratas: a four-meter-tall, four-ton metal beast straight out of a science fiction fever dream. Forget science fiction; Japan is now manufacturing science fact, and it’s ready to roll (literally).
Introducing Kuratas – The World’s First Smiling, Smartphone-Piloted Robo-Warrior!

Created by the engineering wizards at Suidobashi Heavy Industry, Kuratas made its dramatic debut at Japan’s Wonder Festival in Chiba. Standing as tall as your average giraffe and about as subtle as a Transformer in a library, this massive metal machine is not just a showpiece—it’s a functioning, rideable, weaponized robot. Think “Pacific Rim” meets “Mario Kart.”

This isn’t your average remote-controlled toy. Kuratas can be operated by a human sitting inside the cockpit or by someone using a 3G smartphone. Yes, you read that right. You can control a four-ton death machine with your phone. Just make sure you don’t accidentally launch a BB-blasting frenzy while ordering takeout.
Weapons, Wheels, and Wicked Tech – What’s Under the Hood?

Kuratas is equipped with some seriously futuristic firepower—though don’t worry, nothing is (technically) lethal. Among its arsenal is a water-based missile launcher perfect for summer water fights or terrifying your neighbor’s cat. But the real showstopper is the “Twin Gatling Gun,” which can unload up to 6,000 airsoft pellets per minute. And here’s the best (or most dangerous) part: it’s activated by smiling. Yes, smile detection is the trigger. So if you’re piloting Kuratas and someone tells a good joke, duck.
Want to feel like Iron Man in a gundam suit? Kuratas features an advanced augmented reality targeting system and an automatic alignment tool, making it easier than ever to lock onto targets with frightening accuracy. The robot glides on wheels tucked into its feet and can roll at speeds up to 10 kilometers per hour—which isn’t going to win any races, but it’s fast enough to chase after terrified pedestrians or unsuspecting delivery scooters.

Built with Love, Hydraulics, and a Hint of Madness

Kuratas runs on 30 hydraulic joints and enough metal to make Optimus Prime sweat. The robot was the result of two years of hard work by engineers Wataru Yoshizaki and Kogoro Kurata (yes, the robot is partially named after one of its creators, because of course it is). It’s not just a robot; it’s a moving monument to Japanese engineering, anime obsession, and the fine art of weaponized whimsy.
So… How Do You Get One?

Got a spare €1.5 million lying around? If so, congratulations! You’re one purchase away from becoming a real-life mecha pilot. You can even try building your own Kuratas (assuming you have a PhD in robotics and access to a hydraulic workshop) by visiting www.suidobashijuko.jp. Yes, it’s a thing. Yes, you should bookmark it.
