Segata Sanshiro

Segata Sanshiro is a fictional character created by Sega.
== Charactah Account ==
Segata is a crazed martial artist who beat the living crap out of people for not playing Sega Saturn and singing his own theme song, which was later released as a CD and record that sold over 100,000 copies. It can be argued that his presence in Sega's Japanese commercials was singlehandedly responsible for the continued existence of Sega in the console market (up to the Sega Dreamcast).
Segata is a Judo master that tracks down and punishes those who do not play the Sega Saturn. His name sounds similar to the phrase "You must play the Sega Saturn!" as well as "Sega Saturn, White", a reference to the new white color version of the Japanese Sega Saturn which followed the original gray version.

== Trivia ==
* Segata Sanshiro is the first character to be featured in the Project X Zone series that did not originate from a video game property (though he did eventually get a game of his own).
** He is the only one to originate from adverts.
** The Strider cast came from an obscure manga while the .hack// cast came from an anime that predated the games by a couple months.
* Segata's theme is also the first song in the Project X Zone line to originate from an advertising campaign.
* Many of Segata Sanshiro's moves originate from the commercials he starred in. His relationship with Sakura Shinguji is also based on the Sakura Wars 2 commercial where he was in a romantic relationship with her.
** The throw where his victims explode (twice) comes from the Saturn Bomberman Fight!! commercial.
** His headbash comes from the Solo Crisis commercial.
** The army of Segata clones come from the Dragon Force II commercial.
* His voice actor, Hiroshi Fujioka, most notably portrayed the original Kamen Rider.
* In his recent appearance of the game, Segata also recognizes the producers from other games such as Katsuhiro Harada from Tekken or Yoshinori Ono from Street Fighter as the characters in the actual game (Ryu, Ken, Jin, and Kazuya) became confused about their producers from their respective games.
* Segata, Ken, and Estelle are the only playable units who are also bosses in Project X Zone 2.
** Segata and Estelle are the only ones who appear as a bosses before they are playable.
*** Segata is the only one to be introduced as such since Estelle was always playable in the predecessor.

* Segata has the lowest defense of any enemy in Project X Zone 2 at 0.
