As part of a collaboration between the Kashihara municipal government and JR West, three stations within Kashihara will see station signs depicting the characters of Street Fighter 6. You’ll be able to catch these special signs at Kanahashi, Kaguyama, and Unebi stations.
In total, there will be eleven signs, all with different designs, and you’ll be able to locate them all at the aforementioned three stations. Each sign will have two characters. For example, the sign for Kanahashi shows Jamie and Luke while the sign for Kaguyama shows Ken and Ryu. Not only are the characters different, but the backgrounds are different as well. They will start putting up the signs from December 7, 2024.
This campaign is part of JR West and Kashihara’s efforts at conveying the charm of regions that are along a railway line. Lots of fans might come to check out the signs and take pictures. In turn, they might hang around Kashihara to sightsee or eat the local cuisine.
Street Fighter 6 is an incredibly popular fighting game, as it’s part of the long-running Street Fighter series. Within a month, Capcom sold over 2 million units of the game. In January 2024, it announced that sales for Street Fighter 6 surpassed 3 million units worldwide (including physical and digital copies). This might be why Capcom is part of this campaign as well.
The Street Fighter 6 street signs will begin appearing in stations from December 7, 2024. There is no information on when the stations will take them down.
