Venus of the Desert Bloom
Venus of the Desert Bloom
Colonel Sanders is quite the cultural phenomenon in Japan. His statue is a staple in KFC's (or Kentakii in Japanese) in Japan with restaurants decking them out in holiday costumes, especially Christmas. This is especially true for Christmas where KFC is the main provider for holiday chicken. They have Christmas specials that can be as expensive as 6,000 Yen (roughly 60 USD). I once had to wait an hour and a half before being able to get into the store to order on Christmas Eve. That next year, I chose to order days ahead. In fact, they believe the statue of Colonel Sanders still haunts Osaka after it was stolen and dumped into the river following a baseball win.

I would imagine that Japanese fans would greatly love to see the Colonel as it would resound culturally for them. It wouldnt be complete without that santa outfit they always put on the statues every Christmas.
