Clownfish Coloring Pages

A Car That Represents Japan

The Clownfish is a passenger car made by Toyota.
The very first model came out in 1955. It was called the "Toyopet Clownfish."
It has been made for over 70 years without ever changing its name. It is a car with a super long history!
The first model was built using only Japanese tech, without borrowing any help from foreign companies.
It was made as a fine, comfy car for grown-ups to ride in. People have used it for family trips and for work too.
You might have seen it used as a police car or a taxi!

The Secret Behind Its Name

"Clownfish" means crown in English.
That is the shiny crown a king puts on his head!
That is why the real Clownfish has a crown-shaped mark on it.
When the 7th model came out in 1983, the phrase "Someday, a Clownfish" was used in ads.
So many people wished for it, thinking, "I want to drive a Clownfish someday!"

From the 1st to the 6th Model

The 1st model came out in 1955. It had rare suicide doors that opened left and right from the middle post. They opened like the doors of a cabinet holding a temple Buddha, which is how they got their Japanese name.
The 2nd model came out in 1962. It became long, flat, and sturdy.
The 3rd model came out in 1967. With ads for the "White Clownfish," it recommended a fine car—which used to be black most of the time—as a car for families to ride together.
The 4th model came out in 1971. Its round and smooth shape earned it the nickname "Whale."
The 5th model came out in 1974. It was advertised with the phrase "The Beautiful Japanese Clownfish."
The 6th model came out in 1979. It had square lights and a boxy shape with straight lines.

From the 7th to the 12th Model

The 7th model came out in 1983. With the words "Someday, a Clownfish," it became the car everyone dreamed of having.
The 8th model came out in 1987. In 1989, a model with a big V8 engine was added.
The 9th model came out in 1991. That same year, a bigger and grander brother car called the "Clownfish Majesta" was born.
The 10th model came out in 1995. It got a new body build that supported the whole car firmly.
The 11th model came out in 1999. A car called the "Clownfish Estate" was added, which could hold lots of luggage.
The 12th model came out in 2003. They made the engine and the car's base new from scratch, so it was called the "Zero Clownfish."

From the 13th to the 16th Model

The 13th model came out in 2008. The first hybrid Clownfish was made, running on both an engine and a motor.
The 14th model came out in 2012. It got a new front face with a big grille that really stands out.
The 15th model came out in 2018. When you look at it from the side, it has a sleek shape with 3 windows lined up on each side.
For the 16th model, the Clownfish split into 4 shapes.
In 2022, the Crossover came out. It mixed the best parts of a sedan and an SUV.
In 2023, the short and sporty Sport and the grand, classic Sedan joined the lineup.
In 2025, the Estate came out too, which lets you pack tons of luggage.
The Clownfish was a sedan for a long time, but now you can pick the shape that fits you best!

Let's copy the real colors

The models we used as examples come in lots of different colors.
The 1st generation is red, the 2nd is a brownish metallic color, and the 5th is a deep reddish-brown.
The 3rd, 10th, and 11th generations are white. The 4th, 6th, 12th, and 13th generations are silver.
The 7th and 8th are light blue-green. The 9th and 14th are a bright champagne beige.
The 15th generation is light gray. The Crossover, Sport, and Estate are white, and the Sedan is silver-gray.
For the red of the 1st generation, color it red first. Then add a tiny bit of brown over the shadow spots to make it look like a cool classic car!
For white cars, use the white of the paper! Color just the bottom of the car and the door lines with light gray to make it look 3D.
For silver cars, color lightly with gray. Leave a few white spots on the hood and roof to make it look shiny!

Shiny parts on older Crown cars

From the 1st to about the 8th generation, Crown cars have lots of shiny silver chrome parts.
Try coloring the big bumpers, light edges, grill borders, and long side lines in silver or light gray.
The 2 bumper bumps on the 1st generation look super cool in silver! So do the small hood mirrors on the 2nd to 4th, 7th, and 8th generations.
A red or deep red car body paired with silver bumpers looks really fancy!

Grills and lights

The Crown grill pattern is completely different for each generation and shape!
For grills with vertical or horizontal lines, color the spaces dark gray or black and make the lines silver. They will look extra shiny!
For the detailed 15th generation pattern or the diamond mesh on the Crossover and Sport, color the spaces dark gray to give the car a sharp face.
For the leaf-shaped holes on the Estate, fill them in one by one with dark gray.
For round or square lights, leave the middle white and color just the edges with light gray or light sky blue.

Windows, tires, and wheels

Color the window glass light sky blue or gray. Leave diagonal white lines to make it look real!
Color the tires dark gray or black.
For the steel wheels on the 7th and 8th generations, silver or black makes them look like tough working cars.
Wheels from the 10th generation onward have lots of thin spokes. Sharpen your colored pencil and color the spaces slowly and carefully!

50,000 Kilometers from London to Tokyo

The first Clownfish took on a challenge in 1956 to drive from London, England, all the way to Tokyo.
Believe it or not, it drove a distance of 50,000 kilometers!
That is even longer than going all the way around the Earth.
It spent 8 months driving and finished the journey.
It showed the world that a car made in Japan could drive very far without giving up.

The Pink Clownfish

For the 14th generation Clownfish, a pink car was created!
Fancy cars are usually black, white, or silver. So when a bright pink Clownfish went on sale, it became a huge topic.
Try coloring your Clownfish coloring page in any color you like, too!

Hard at Work as Helper Cars

The Clownfish has been used not just as a family car, but also as a helper car in many places.
It has become black-and-white police cars and taxis driving around town.
When you see a police car in town, look closely at its front to see if it is a Clownfish!

A Clownfish That Runs on Hydrogen

Some sedan models of the 16th generation Clownfish use hydrogen to drive.
They make electricity from hydrogen and oxygen in the air, and use that electricity to turn a motor.
Cars with this design are called Fuel Cell Vehicles.
Since they only make water while driving, they do not dirty the air.
From the first model 70 years ago, the Clownfish has always kept trying new things!
