The Curse of the Colonel
In this episode of Supernatural Japan, we explore the bizarre Curse of the Colonel—the legend claiming a KFC Colonel Sanders statue doomed the Hanshin Tigers after fans threw it into Osaka’s Dōtonbori River in 1985. Discover the team’s passionate fan culture, the chaotic championship celebration, and why many believe the missing statue haunted the Tigers for decades. A mix of history, sports folklore, and modern Japanese urban legend, this episode uncovers the true story behind one of Japan’s strangest curses. Also included is an interview that host Kevin O’Shea did with BBC Radio in 2016 about why Japanese people eat KFC for Christmas!
