"You done good. You got all the leaves!"

—Mater, Cars 2

Zen Master is a pitty who makes sand designs in the Tokyo museum.

History

In Cars 2, when Team McQueen were at the party in Tokyo, he was seen making shapes in the sand. But when Mater saw him, he thought he was raking some leaves. Later in the movie, that scene was in Mater's hallucination.

Livery

Zen Master is painted purple, with a tan hat and brown wood rake. He has grey rims.

• He was named "Zen Master Pitty" and did not have a mustache for his 2-pack release with Mater. Later releases of the 2-pack corrected this
