A tough, desperate kid becomes a sumo wrestler, captivating fans with his cocky attitude — and upsetting an industry steeped in tradition.
With the promise of money, a poor kid from Fukuoka joins a sumo training stable, but his cocky attitude doesn't score him any points.
Kiyoshi reluctantly goes to a hostess club with his seniors. Hungry for vengeance, he challenges his seniors during a practice match.
To pay for his father's hospital bills, Kiyoshi resorts to some dirty tactics. His stable master finally gives him his ring name: Enno.
After acting out publicly, Enno's position is in danger – until his stable master's wife comes to the rescue. But his opponents grow in determination.
With an injured knee, senior sumo wrestler Enya contemplates his future. Meanwhile, Enno becomes even more arrogant as he continues his winning streak.
With the reporter's words ringing in his ears, Shizuuchi gives Enno a match he won't ever forget. Later, Shizuuchi revisits his dark past.
Enno finds a newfound respect and focus, surprising and energizing his stablemates; but his bout with Shizuuchi has had a lasting effect on him.
Enya's retirement ceremony is held. A new year and a new season begins; for his first match, Enno will go up against none other than Shizuuchi.
