===Street Fighter II=== {{see|Street Fighter II}} In his backstory E. Honda is mentioned to have begun his training as a child, singularly focused on becoming the greatest [[sumo|sumo wrestler]] of all time. He would eventually achieve the highly-revered titled of "[[Ozeki|Ōzeki]]" (in the English localization of the early ''Street Fighter II'' ports, he is stated as having achieved the title, ''[[Yokozuna (sumo)|Yokozuna]]''<ref>"Upon receiving the title of "Yokuzuna" or grand champion, Honda was shocked to learn that the rest of the world did not consider Sumo wrestling a true sport." [http://jarcas.dreamhosters.com/rdocs/Street_Fighter_II_-_Manual_-_SNS.pdf Street Fighter II SNES instruction manual, pg. 18]</ref>). Honda became upset that the rest of the world did not view sumo wrestling with the reverence of the Japanese. He entered into the second World Warrior tournament intent on showing everyone that sumo wrestlers rank among the greatest fighters in the world.<ref>Street Fighter II bio</ref> Beyond this, he yearns also to improve and prove his own strength, as well as earn the title of Yokuzuna.<ref name="all about"/> His involvement with the second tournament is also part of him investigating the [[Shadaloo]] organization in response to sumo wrestlers taking drugs, and learning of their involvement after capturing some of the dealers. His face painting and dual nationality name assisted him to an extent with remaining covert during this. This aspect of his character was conceived well before ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'' and his storyline there.<ref>''Hadouken no Nazo'' as referenced in [http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/game/583625.html Tiamat's Street Fighter guide]</ref> After the tournament and the fall of Shadaloo, Honda returned to Japan where he continued engaging in sumo wrestling<ref>[http://fightingstreet.com/folders/artworkfolder/artworkpages/sf_art_pages/sfii_art_pages/sfiiww_art_pages/sfiiww_bwart2.html Translation of caption for Black and White Street Fighter II artwork], original text and image courtesy of [FightingStreet.com]</ref> and continuing to run his bath house and training his disciples.<ref>Street Fighter II ending and ending artwork</ref>
