What’s the name of that Tournament Goku hosted and commentated on?

I remember seeing it years ago, during the earlier days of YouTube. The tournament starred real life people and Goku was the host/commentator of it. Does anyone here remember it if so can I find it on YouTube? I tried searching for it but nothing came up.

That was the "Nippon Ijin Taisho 2007" feature showcasing a tournament to decide the mightiest "great person" throughout all of Japan's history. The competitors include Benkei, Himiko, Prince Shotoku, and Amakusa Shiro.

We have a page that I thought was live, but apparently never quite got there... so I'm making it live!

It should perhaps get recategorized into the "Movie Guide" (since that includes other special features), but that's more of an internal staff discussion. If and when it moves, I'll set up a redirect so that link above still works.

There might be some incomplete content on the page, but giving it a quick scroll it seems OK...?
