I took third place as Honda in an all out SF-4 tournament in my country. Lost to Ryu who took second and Dhalsim, who took first. Had some awesome moments there.
I'm afraid that you are referring to the movie. No he's 100% Japanese it's even stated in his bio in the Street Fighter animated movie he says "Japanese fighters stick together. Cause we're brothers" and then he laughed.
@OniBaba my assumption is because around the time this movie was in production a trio of highly renown sumo wrestlers of Hawaiian ethnicity were rising the ranks in the sport. Konishiki became the first ever foreign rikishi to reach ozeki, the second highest rank in Sumo, and two others, Akebono and Musashimaru reaching yokozuna in the years following 1990 and 1991, when both respectively reached the upper makuuchi division, the elite of the elite.
@OniBaba Very late reply, but the movie you're talking about is the Hollywood one with Van Damme and the one OP is talking about is the animated anime movie that came out a few months before that.
I remember that long ago, a friend of my dad gave him an album of japanese music in this style that was called something like "The red album of Japanese music". I remember listening to it and being amazed at how similar Honda's theme was to some of the songs in there, at least in style. It's odd, despite how Yoko Shimomura composed the OST for SF2 to be stereotypical, she actually really nailed the spirit of old Japan in Honda's theme. Same could be said of Ryu's theme but for modern Japan.
i hate the movie street fighter that was released in 1994 cause e honda is not from hawaii he is from japan hence the name honda i mean ud have to be pretty dumb to think that

I would buy an album of this kind of traditional Japanese awesomeness over most modern day music.
