E-Honda, the sumo wrestler from the Street Fighter series, is back in Street Fighter 6. Known for his large stature and sumo wrestling techniques, E-Honda is a character that stands out in the roster. His character design in Street Fighter 6 maintains his traditional sumo wrestler attire, complete with a mawashi (sumo belt) and topknot. His size and strength are evident in his character model, reflecting his sumo background and the power behind his moves.

In terms of gameplay, E-Honda’s move set is heavily influenced by his sumo wrestling background. His normal attacks include powerful slaps and strikes, reminiscent of sumo techniques. His special moves, Hundred Hand Slap and Sumo Headbutt, are iconic to his character. Hundred Hand Slap is a rapid-fire palm strike that can pressure opponents and break through their defenses. Sumo Headbutt is a charging attack where E-Honda propels himself towards his opponents, dealing significant damage. E-Honda’s V-Skill and V-Trigger, mechanics first introduced in Street Fighter V, have been adapted for Street Fighter 6. His V-Skill, Neko Damashi, is a powerful slap that can absorb an incoming attack and counter it. This gives E-Honda a defensive option that can turn the tide of the battle. His V-Trigger, Onigawara, enhances his Sumo Headbutt, allowing him to follow up with additional attacks for more damage.
