Segata Sanshiro

From Sega Retro

To do

  • Sanshiro was mostly (all?) Fujioka's idea, as a way of getting in touch with and being a positive role model for children.
  • Fujioka was initially apprehensive about portraying a man that physically accosted people, to which he was told something like, "Well yeah, but make sure to beat people with confidence and strength so it looks more like a judo thing than an abusive thing".
  • Full list of commercials, and get them hosted.
  • Summarize his legacy, and the cult following he's received since his debut.
  • Fujioka's contract was set to expire near the end of the Saturn's life, but Sanshiro's popularity caused Sega to extend the contract a few years into the life of the Dreamcast.
  • Sega still currently owns the rights to the character.
