Wow! I bet he could beat up Johnny Turbo, Atariman, and Ninja-Endo all at the same time!
Not that he would, though, because only he has the winning strategy: Don't beat up the competition, beat up the whiny kids who declined to purchase your superior product! LOL

Segata is in Rent-A-Hero on DC as his gym teacher, and will teach you how to fight.
The man who plays him is also the voice of Ryo Hazuki's father in Shenmue, and if you've ever heard of Arcade Gamer Fubuki he's her father's voice too.
And most epicly of all, he's KAMEN RIDER. The man is made of pure awesome.

I would pay real money to see a Segata Sanshiro vs. Pepsiman commercial.
Great vid.
