Curious sumo stickers decorate Tokyo, signal E. Honda's invasion photo

To signal Edmond Honda's conquest of Glorious Nippon, the borders of his empire-to-be have been marked by a series of mysterious stickers. Over 87 of the seals have been found in Ginza district alone, with more in Roppongi. And of course, a sticker was sighted on a sign nearby the Ryougoku Kokujikan, the venue for Japan's greatest sumo tournaments.

The stickers themselves feature the mirrored face of a sumo wrestler. Every sticker varies slightly in design, with some having additional elements, or the faces dislplaying different expressions, such as smiles or tears. Clearly, these variations symbolize E. Honda's versatility and uniqueness. His policies will appeal to a diverse group of people and interests. Witnesses reported that skaters have been seen putting up the stickers at night, showing off how well-connected Honda is with the youth of the nation. Experts also note the incident as similar to a "Panda Sticker" invasion in Fukuoka City.

With that revelation, the connections are clear. Emperor Honda will launch his great crusade with deadly panda shocktroopers at the vanguard. The youth will rise up to claim the nation in honor of their leader, and all will be well. And after that? Victory in the next Street Fighter tournament!

Hit the jump for the full video report, a mere taste of the glory to come.
