In particular, if it is currently in mind, it is because of the importance of its fighting games. And <strong>among them, none is more important than Street Fighter.<\/strong> A franchise that achieved global success as early as its second installment in 1991 and has remained one of the most relevant games in history, 33 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Street Fighter 6 - Akuma Teaser Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3sAU1fPK0K4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate the success of the franchise, <strong>they have erected a 70-centimeter statue of Chun-li in Kashihara, Nara prefecture, 150 centimeters including its pedestal<\/strong>. But why was it erected in Kashihara? Because that is the hometown of Capcom&#8217;s founder, Kenzo Tsujimoto. The choice of Chun-li is because, in addition to being the most beloved female character in the franchise, she is also the most well-known and distinctive, serving as its unofficial mascot. Although they could have also chosen Akuma, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/one-of-the-most-iconic-characters-in-the-franchise-arrives-in-street-fighter-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">due to his significance and being the next downloadable character in the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the collaboration between Capcom and the city of Kashihara doesn&#8217;t end here. <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/lnews\/nara\/20240309\/2050015626.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"According to NHK,\">According to NHK<\/a>, <strong>other activities include displaying Street Fighter-themed manhole covers, a space to play Street Fighter II and VI for free, giving away Street Fighter stickers, and even a martial arts exhibition by the local institute<\/strong>.
