Segata Sanshiro was the mascot of the SEGA Saturn in Japan. He starred in 20 adverts, most of them are Greaking Awesome. He's a judo fighter devoted to the Sega Saturn. He punishes those who don't play Saturn and his catchphrase is "Sega Saturn shiro!", which can be translated as "Play SEGA Saturn!", as well as "White SEGA Saturn!"
He is officially more awesome than Bud Spencer, Terence Hill and Chuck Norris! >:O
This guy at YouTube has all 20 adverts, I'll post my personal favourites here.
Segata Sanshiro as Santa Claus. Merry Christmas!
Sonic R advert. He beats up three boys for playing baseball instead of playing with Sega Saturn. What a guy.
Bomberman advert. He fights with some other guy who then explodes. Epic.
Shows how hard he trains to stay fit.
SEGATA SANSHIRO DOES NOT NEED BASEBALL BATS!
Him as a football/soccer coach. One of the best ads.
He beats up and entire night club in a few seconds. Whoa.
House Of The Dead advert. Just watch. But... he LOSES? :O
More football. This time as the goalkeeper.
His last advert, where he... dies. He protects the launch of the SEAG Dreamcast by stopping a missile with his bare hands. However, he is launched into space. As he yells out a last "Sega Saturn shiro!", the missile explodes, thus ending his legendary life. But to quote the Japanese narrator, "Segata Sanshiro will live on in your hearts.". *sob*
