Have you seen the Japanese version of KFC’s Colonel Sanders? When I first saw him in Tokyo, I expected to see the Western version — chicken tasted great for sure, but didn’t expect a localization for the Japanese market ^^; (Photo: jpellgen)

Depending on the occasion, they also dress Mr. Sanders the way they want. Santa? No problem. Strange fat middle-aged men in yukata with a lace? No problem!

Ahahaha I am so totally doing this when I go to Japan this September – duly bookmarked so as not to forget. All I need to do now is find out where my nearest KFC will be!
