Translation - English “Statue of the Colonel Back in One Piece.”
(Nippon News Network 2009)
A statue of Kentucky Fried Chicken mascot Colonel Sanders, missing since being thrown into Osaka’s Dotonbori River in 1985 following a championship win by the city’s Hanshin Tigers baseball club, has been recovered. The statue’s torso was discovered on the eleventh, with subsequent searches leading to the recovery of its lower body and right arm on the 11th. As of the eleventh, the pieces have been “reunited.”
The upper body was found on March 10th, some 250 meters from the spot where the statue was originally hurled into the river. Divers located the right arm and lower body around 9am on the 11th. But the statue’s left arm and eyeglasses remain missing.
In recent years the statue has been at the center of whispers explaining the Tigers’ scattered fortunes as part of a “Curse of the Colonel.” Commenting on the statue’s recovery, a representative of Kentucky Fried Chicken of Japan suggested, “I think we’d like to see him in [Tigers Home Stadium] Koshien Park. That way all the fans will know he’s there.”
