New Somewhat Hilarious Ad Featuring ‘Yowamushi Pedal' Character Izumida And His ‘Abs, Abs, Abs' Revealed [PHOTO]

Once again Japan's advertising ventures appear to be much more entertaining than that of advertising elsewhere.

That, or it's just the fact that anime ads will always appear more interesting because they're much more absent abroad.

Whatever the case may be, a new ad for shopping in Animate Shinjuku in Japan was revealed this week that features "Yowamushi Pedal" character Izumida. Rather, the ad feature Izumida's somewhat hilarious emphasis on his physically defined abs.

The ad for Animate Shinjuku comes at a perfect time since the last aired episode of "Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road" featured a last stitch effort from Izumida to lead Hakone Academy to victory in the Inter-high race. He attributes his ability to race ahead to his strong physique that he dedicated the past season of preparation to.

Fans in the My Anime List forum for the episode couldn't help but note Izumida's chant about his abs and absurd obsession with his body.

"ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS," commented Aymaan143

"OXYGEN. Seriously though, did he actually name his abs? What," laughed Stark700.

"ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS ABS. This pretty much sums it up," said Hatsu.

It makes sense that any ad featuring "Yowamushi Pedal's" Izumida would use his bodily obsession to draw fans in.

According to Anime News Network, the large store display is placed right above the "Yowamushi Pedal" character goods in Animate Shinjuki features Izumida proudly showing off "his beloved abs, and his pectorals, Andy and Frank."

Photos of the new ad, as well as the Izumida drawn as Santa were revealed via Animate Shinjuki's official twitter. Fans can view the shirtless Izumida ads below.


"Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road" is the current season of the popular anime that follows Otaku Onoda as he learns the competitive sport of cycling. The anime series is set to air its second half this January.
