Japan's KFC Mascot Isn't a Colonel - He's a Samurai

If you didn't know, KFC is a huge deal in Japan. People who have been to Japan say that the country is very interested in Colonel Sanders. It's actually become a bit of a tradition to go to KFC on Christmas and order a bucket of chicken. But there is one big distinction between Japanese KFCs and KFCs in other countries: Colonel Sanders is not a real colonel.
In Japan, the fast food chain's mascot is not a colonel; it's a samurai. Take a look at the picture above of him in samurai armor. We really like this style!
