[edit] Backstory

According to his Street Fighter II backstory, Honda trained his entire life to become the greatest sumo wrestler of all time. He received the second-highest title of Ōzeki. (In the English localization, he is incorrectly stated as having achieved the highest title, Yokozuna.) Honda became upset that the rest of the world does not take sumo seriously, and vowed to prove that sumo wrestlers are the greatest fighters in the world.

[edit] Fighting style and techniques

Honda's fighting style, as already mentioned above, is based on sumo wrestling. In his first appearance in the original Street Fighter II, he has two sure-killing techniques, the Hundred Hand Slap and the Flying Headbutt. In Hyper Fighting, Honda gains a third sure-killing technique, the Flying Head Smash, as well as the ability to move while performing his Hundred Hand Slap.

In Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Honda's super combo is the Super Killer Head Ram (also known as the Oni-Mu-Sou), a powered-up version of his Flying Headbutt. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Honda gains two additional super combos, the Fuji Drop and the Orochi Crush.
