Wait...what is ITA SIM??? (痛SIM)
Why it is called ita (literally means hurt, painful)? Feel hurt somewhere?
Originally it is named the term used in Japan called Itasha. 
Itasha means painted and decorated car in some animation. 
Because it makes the one who see it, could not stand the outlook and feel painful. 
Therefore, it is turned to Itasha. 

Wow!! We are surprised by the behind story. 
Even We are not that familiar to animation, that interests us to go look for it by the way.
But where to find?

The answer is...
