♠️ Headcanon #37. So, let’s talk about Hatori’s car.

Of course, it’s made very clear in the manga (and I’ve spoken about it so many times on here), about Hatori’s fascination with America, his penchant for Western culture, and considering the steering wheel in Hatori’s car is on the left side for WHATEVER reason (he’s probably killing everyone on the road in Japan), it’s easy to come to the conclusion that Hatori is driving an American made vehicle! One of the most popular brands of cars in America at the time of the Fruits Basket’s release was Cadillac, and comparing the only shot in the 

anime we get of his black car next to a older model Cadillac, they are quite STRIKINGLY similar! The slanted windshield, the boxy top of the car, silver hub caps, slanted/pointed headlights, the separated back windows, and the long nose towards the front/engine of the car:

Photo one is the shot of Hatori’s car from the anime; photo two is a shot of an older model Cadillac for reference. I think it’s safe to say that a black Cadillac was at least the inspiration for his vehicle in the anime/manga, and do keep in mind that they are not cheap cars! Unsurprisingly, Hatori would spring for a luxury vehicle. HMMM. Him and his $5,000 suits he burns freely with no remorse. What a damn surprise.

As for photo three and photo four, they are both images of the new Cadillac CT6 (a goddamn sexy car, let’s be honest), which is what I believe modern Hatori (ie, MY Hatori) would drive. If, in any of my threads, his car is involved, this is the handsome vehicle my baby will be sporting! 

That’s about it for this one; it’s relatively short, sorry about that! I’ve just been doing a lot of independent research on what type of car Hatori is seen driving and I believe I’ve got my answer! Cheers!
