Colonel Sanders KFC Dragon BallIn Japan, Colonel Sanders has been known to dress up as Santa Claus around Christmas time and as a giant purple robot around…other times, but now he’s found an even cooler costume. Starting February 15, Colonel Sanders will cosplay as Dragon Ball Z’s Goku at seven different locations in Japan. Each statue will hold one of the seven dragon balls, distinguished by the number of stars contained in the middle.

KFC will also offer a “Light Up! Dragon Bottle” with the purchase of one of five limited edition value packs. The “Light Up! Dragon Bottle” is a water bottle with “a cap that lights up dark places.”
