Not just for having the most Spanish-sounding names you could possibly imagine, but also for spearheading SEGA’s push into Spain – with the opening of a new SEGA office in Madrid.

VIVA (the men in charge of) SEGA ESPAGNA!

Jose is standing in front of Shadow. This means he’s evil, so is probably in advertising or marketing.

Javier is standing in front of Sonic! So he’s the good one, and probably does something useful and popular like handing out the mail or petty cash. This is such a beautiful photo we’ve made it desktop size. Together they are… SEGA SPAIN! Vamos SEGA Espagnol!

“WE ARE ENCHANTED TO ON BOARD GIVE TO THE WELCOME TO JAVIER AND JOSE” (THE PRESS RELEASE FED THROUGH BABELFISH, AS THAT’S BEEN FUNNY SINCE WE FIRST GOT THE INTERNET IN 1995):
