It was a clever marketing ploy by KFC, where they managed to associate their brand with this weird foreign holiday that everyone hears about but never actually celebrates. Christianity isn't really a thing in Japan, so it was just an excuse to sell things. You know how we have Cinco de Mayo sales here despite the fact that there is literally no reason for another country to celebrate an entirely different country's independence day let alone hold parties for something we know jack shit about but we do it because the branding told us to? It's the exact same thing.
Just looked it up, and shit, it's not even that. It's just a military victory of Mexico over the French.
See what I mean? No reason to celebrate it and we don't even know what it is, but we do anyway.
