NAME: Edmond Honda
BORN: November 30, 1960
GAMOGRAPHY: Although E. Honda is best known for being the fattest man in Street Fighter II, he's also been in a number of other games by several different companies. You can see him in Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Street Fighter: The Movie, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash and countless Capcom compilation discs.
BIOGRAPHY: Edmond Honda (commonly known as E. Honda) is a sumo wrestler who took part in M. Bison's World Warriors tournament. Initially he did this to prove that sumo wrestling was a legitimate sport worth paying attention to, but it turns out he had an ulterior motive. Edmond joined the tournament to investigate a secret organization that was funneling drugs into Japan. After defeating Bison, Honda went home and did what he does best -- eat!
Although he's not married and has no immediate prospects, Edmond Honda lives in a country with a higher life expectancy.
Adjustment: +3
Despite being the best known sumo wrestlers in the world, the fame comes at a high price. His size and eating habits increase his chances of heart disease.
Adjustment: -15
Even though Honda has won multiple tournaments, he still has to wrestle in the back alleys for spare change. What happened to the cash, Edmond?
Adjustment: -2
He was forced from an early age to be the best wrestler in Japan. His parents didn't give him a break, denying him friends and fun.
Adjustment: -1
Say what you will about his large frame, E. Honda has the quickest slapping hands in all the land. I'm sure that's practical for something, right?
Adjustment: +2
E. Honda is known for helping his friends in need and, according to the Street Fighter II anime, giving half of his winnings to Ryu!
Adjustment: +1
Part of the reason he shows up in so many games is because he feels the need to convince everybody that Sumo is a real sport. Get over it, bro!
Adjustment: -3
If the movie is to be believed, Honda (played as a Hawaiian) is impervious to physical pain. He takes a beating, but doesn't know when he's badly injured!
Adjustment: -6
In the Street Fighter movie, Honda is a member of Chun Li's news crew. This suggests he will have a back-up plan once he's done with wrestling.
Adjustment: +2
Honda only wears face paint and a large blue yukata. As his mother always told him: Put some clothes on or you'll catch a cold!
Adjustment: -3Life Expectancy - 57 Years Old (1960 - 2017): Despite being a lovable fighter, Edmond Honda's life will likely be cut short due to health concerns. Between his penchant for getting beat up and a long life of being morbidly obese, this World Warrior only has another four or five years left. A lifetime of promoting sumo wrestling will be overshadowed by the ill effects that sport had on his health.
