About Carmanji

Your Adventure Starts Small.

Carmanji is the definitive resource for Japanese kei vehicles in the United States. We cover kei trucks, kei cars, and kei vans — helping Americans navigate the world of these remarkable small vehicles.

Our Mission

The kei vehicle market in the US is growing fast, but good information is scattered across forums, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth. We built Carmanji to be the single authoritative source for everything kei — from state-by-state legality guides to model comparisons, import walkthroughs, and build spotlights.

What We Cover

• State Laws: Detailed, regularly updated guides to kei vehicle legality in every US state.
• Model Guides: Comprehensive specs, reviews, and buyer guides for every popular kei vehicle.
• Import Guides: Step-by-step instructions for importing kei vehicles from Japan.
• Build Spotlights: Showcasing the most creative kei vehicle builds across America.
• Dealer Directory: Find reputable kei vehicle dealers in your state.

Why “Carmanji”?

Kei vehicles are an adventure. They transform how you use your property, tackle your daily commute, or explore off-road trails. We wanted a name that captured that spirit of discovery and fun — while making it clear we're all about cars (and trucks, and vans).
