A giant comedy with giant underpants!
Starring Masahiro Motoki from the Academy Award winning DEPARTURES.
With his grades sliding at university, Shuhei's professor gets the cunning idea of blackmailing him into joining the Sumo wrestling team, as it will help with his grades. Shuhei begrudgingly accepts, knowing it's the only way for him to graduate.
The only problem is the Sumo Club only has one other member - the rather pathetic Aoki who hasn't won a single bout in four years. Together they draft together a motley bunch of wrestlers, including a pudgy sad-sack named Tanaka, Shuhei's brother Haruo who's been wrestling in drag and a foreigner named Smiley who refuses to wrestle without his underpants.
Presented by Consulate-General of Japan at Auckland, The University of Waikato and The Japan Foundation. |
