===Japan=== [[File:Toyota Hiace H200 505.JPG|thumb|[[Toyota HiAce]] [[cab over]] van]] Early Japanese vans include the [[Kurogane Baby]], [[Mazda Bongo]], and the [[Toyota LiteAce]]. The Japanese also produced many vans based on the American flat nose model, but also minivans which for the American market have generally evolved to the long-wheelbase front-wheel drive form. The [[Nissan Prairie]] and [[Mitsubishi Chariot]] as well as [[microvan]]s that fulfill [[kei car]] regulations, are popular for small businesses. The term is also used to describe full-fledged [[station wagon]]s (passenger car front sheet metal, flat-folding back seats, windows all around) and even hatchbacks with basic trim packages intended for commercial use. These are referred to as "light vans" ({{langx|ja|γ©γ€γγγ³}}), with "light" referring to the glazing rather than the weight of the vehicle.
