Japanese tennis player Kei Nishikori made history a few weeks ago in New York, becoming the first Asian man to reach a Grand Slam final after shocking top-ranked Novak Djokovic. Nishikori fell in the final to Marin Cilic, but Japanese fans gave him a hero’s welcome when he returned home. To honor Nishikori’s run to the final, Nissin will release special edition cups of noodles featuring Nishikori on the packaging. According to the Japan Times, this isn’t the first time Nishikori has graced the cups — he was on a seafood-flavored cup in 2012.
