Synopsis

A college senior, Shuhei, is blackmailed by a professor into joining the school's sumo team. He is aided by a group of misfits who must team together to defeat their rivals or face disgrace and the disbandment of the sumo club. Recently remade as a 10-part series for Disney+, the original film is presented in a new 4K restoration.
