Which Street Fighter character is a sumo wrestler from Japan?

Which Street Fighter character is a sumo wrestler from Japan? The answer is E. Honda.

Edmond Honda, usually called E. Honda, debuted in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991 as one of the original eight playable fighters. His character is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler who enters the World Warrior tournament to demonstrate that sumo belongs among the world's great fighting styles.

Honda's visual design emphasizes Japanese cultural imagery: he wears a yukata-style garment, sports kabuki-inspired face paint, and uses sumo techniques in battle. His signature attacks include the Hundred Hand Slap and the Sumo Headbutt. His stage also features a traditional Japanese bathhouse and a large rising-sun motif.

A common mix-up is Ryu, who is also Japanese, but Ryu practices Ansatsuken rather than sumo. Zangief is the other large grappler among the listed choices, yet he is a professional wrestler from the Soviet Union, not Japan. Honda has returned in later games including Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter V, and Street Fighter 6.
