Although the face of the franchise is arguably the character Ryu, the fan favorite is the female character Chun-Li. That very Chun-Li is now immortalized as a bronze statue in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. But why Kashihara City? Well, it's the hometown of CAPCOM's founder, Kenzo Tsujimoto.

According to NHK, the statue of Chun-Li was erected in front of the Kashihara City Hall Branch Office on March 9. The Kashihara City homepage advertised the free event beginning on February 27 and activities included (roughly translated):

The unveiling of the Chun-Li statue
The reveal of Street Fighter manhole covers, whose illustrations kids can color and turn into badges
A reveal of a Street Fighter character display panel
A Street Fighter II and VI game corner
A demo of the planned Kashihara Excursion App
The giveaway of original Street Fighter stickers
A demonstration by the Kashihara High School Japanese Martial Arts Club

The statue itself stands at 70 centimeters (about 28 inches) tall, or 150 centimeters (about 59 inches) including its plinth base. and features Chun-Li in her iconic pre- and post-fight pose. The Kashihara City homepage also stated the project was crowdfunded and required nearly 5.5 million yen (about US$37,000) to bring to completion. This is the second Street Fighter statue erected in the City, with Ryu having been revealed in May 2023 and Edmond Honda (E. Honda) and Ken planned for future installation.

Isn't that only like 2 feet tall? Should have made it "life-size".

I am curious if Chun-Li is anatomically correct. Would lead to a lot of winter mishaps.
