Hiroshi has always dreamed of becoming a sumotori. His late father was always respected in the local sumo scene. This was Hiroshi's ticket to a local tournament. When he wins that he might be able to compete in the capital city.
He's recruited by the legendary Oyakata Kenjiro and goes the fabled Hajima stable. There he learns being a sumotori is harder than he ever expected. He has a master who is strict and unforgiving, an Oyakata who seems to be losing his grip and a stable bully that seems to be set on making his life hell.
Caught between his desire to honor his father and the unsettling truths that come to light, Hiroshi must decide what kind of sumotori-and man-he will become.
In this gripping coming-of-age story of strength, honor, and sacrifice, Hiroshi's journey is one of self-discovery and resilience as he learns that the path to greatness is never simple, and the price of legacy may be higher than he ever thought.
