I know, it was popularised by Churchill during WW2, but since we were talking about it as the "peace sign" rather than the "victory sign" I didn't mention it. I would say the majority of Japanese people don't realise it was originally V for victory, since most wouldn't know the word victory in any case. Most Japanese people will tell you it means ピース.
