Sumo Do, Sumo Don't
A giant comedy… with giant underpants!
A lighthearted, ensemble comedy about misfits bonding through sumo, driven by warmth, humor, and the underdog spirit of a ragtag team coming together.
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.
