History

In the Sumo wrestling circles of Japan, Edmond Honda is legendary. He is undefeated, having been trained by the best Sumo wrestling coaches since birth. While his size prevents him from being a fast fighter, his incredible strength and endurance insures victory should he ever manage get close enough to grapple with his opponent. His speciality attacks include a Sumo head-butt, where he launches himself across the arena with his powerful legs (and equally hard head), and his brain-pounding, 100-Hand Slap. With this attack, Honda can dizzy his opponent with a blur of hand slaps so fast it appears to be 100 hands attacking at once.

When Honda learns that the world doesn't think Sumo wrestling to be a real sport, he immediately sets off to join the Street Fighter II tournament. He learned of this great opportunity after defeating Sodom, a contestant in the Alpha tournaments, in a Sumo wrestling match in Japan. It was Sodom who suggested that Honda take on the best fighters in the world to prove how great and powerful Sumo wrestling is. In the process of training for this contest, Honda also developed the Sumo Butt Slam, once more utilising his large mass and strong legs to launch himself over projectile attacks and crush his opponent beneath him.
