- Segata Sanshiro Theme, translated from Japanese
Segata Sanshiro is a martial artist featured in Sega Saturn commercials aired in Japan from 1997 to 1998. He is portrayed as a hermit living in the mountains, training in martial arts and video gaming, using a giant Sega Saturn console. He is shown in various commercials throwing opponents so hard they literally explode, scoring a baseball home run... with his feet, beating the crap out of people who are not playing Sega Saturn. Segata made one final appearance in a commercial for the Dreamcast, where he deflects a missile fired at Sega headquarters, riding it into space, where the missile detonates, presumably killing him. Unfortunately, this meant Segata Sanshiro could not be there to save the Dreamcast from tanking....
