Godzilla in Shinjuku
No, not that Godzilla, the Godzilla also known as Hideki Matsui. Kirin used Matsui (or a giant balloon made to look like him actually) to promote their canned coffee called “Fire” with this “Big Matsui” outside of the Shinjuku Train Station exit a few years ago. Matsui was all the rage at the time given his MVP in the World Series the prior fall with the Yankees. I wonder if his image is still plastered all over the place in Japan now that his career is winding down.
