True victory is victory over oneself Entrenched in an elite sumo training facility in Tokyo, six men practice, eat, love, play and ultimately fight. Akio arrives as an angry, ambitious 18 year old with a lot to learn.

Where the national heroes of Japan are made. These men are not gods, they are sumo. But sumo wrestlers were once gods.” Stay Connected with La Jolla Playhouse! Facebook | Instagram | X/Twitter
