Honda Corridon
From the world of games to reality! A miraculous machine born from Honda’s technology
Honda Corydon is a future mobility vehicle in the shape of Corydon, which appears in the game Pokémon Scarlet, and was developed under the supervision of The Pokémon Company. The weight and size of Corydon have been recreated to be almost life-size, with attention to detail.
After its first exhibition at Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama for three days from March 7th to 9th, 2025, Honda has continued to develop and manufacture the car using its experience and unique technologies. Now, a historic moment will come when the Honda Corridon will be driven for the first time.

Only children can have the seriousness of adults! A project undertaken by 40 volunteers
Inspired by Toyota Miraidon
The Honda Corridon project originated from the Toyota Miraidon, produced by the Toyota Engineering Society in 2024. Inspired by the Toyota Miraidon’s manufacturing philosophy, which was announced with the message, “Adults’ sincerity becomes children’s dreams,” the project was launched with the belief that Honda could create a Corridon that was truly Honda.
The project members were approximately 40 volunteers recruited from within the company from the Motorcycle and Power Products division and the Advanced Technology Research Institute. They poured their passion into the development, following the slogan, “Honda’s sincerity will make children’s dreams come true.”
Bringing together Honda’s unique advanced technologies
The development of the car applied the design concepts and simulation technology that Honda has cultivated over the years in its motorcycle business. In addition, by incorporating the advanced balance control technology of the Advanced Technology Research Center, the Corridon that appears in the game world has been pushed to the limits as Honda’s vision of a form of mobility.
The appeal of the legendary Pokémon “Corydon”
Corydon is a legendary Pokémon that appears in Pokémon Scarlet, released in 2022. Corydon is the protagonist’s companion as he travels and grows, and is a special being that can change its form depending on the situation.
As the story progresses, the Corydon regains new abilities, including the ability to walk on all fours, run using its powerful limbs, swim at high speeds, and soar through the air on the wind. Honda’s technological prowess has brought the appeal of Corydon, which can take the protagonist to various places, to the real world.
Rare racing scenes that can only be seen at the Suzuka 8 Hours
The Honda Corridon’s debut will take place at the Suzuka 8 Hours, Japan’s most prestigious motorcycle race. The sight of a game character racing on a real-life course at the Suzuka Circuit, which attracts attention from around the world, will be a truly unique moment where dreams and reality intersect.
This is an event not to be missed by motorcycle fans and Pokémon fans alike. Be sure to come and see for yourself the magnificent Honda Corridon, a product of Honda’s unique technology and passion.
