For those unaware: Segata Sanshiro is the starring character from a series of Japanese exclusive Sega Saturn commercials. A mighty practitioner of judo and gaming, he would ambush people doing stuff like playing sports or going to clubs and beat them within the inch of their lives, while saying "Play Sega Saturn!" (JP: Sega Saturn Shiro!). Later commercial would show him perform incredible feats, like:
- winning an ice skating race barefoot, - throwing a man so hard, he exploded TWICE, - Hitting a homerun with a kick, - Releasing his own single
To say the commercials were a success would be an understatement; they are attributed to greatly helping Sega Saturn outsell Nintendo 64 and (initially) Playstation 1in Japan, which in turn gave Sega the boost in ego and capital that allowed the Dreamcast to be made.
So... yeah. No Segata Sanshiro, no Keanu Reaves voicing Shadow the Hedgehog among many, MANY other things.
I totally understand (and am all for) giving sexual favors in exchange for quarters so she can play her favorite arcade game, but... wtf is she doing here?
