Yet another tradition in the tradition of “ragtag misfits” in Japanese comedy…Sumo Do, Sumo Don’t tells the story of a university sumo club in Japan. In today’s Japan, the younger generation is more interested in “Western” sports like baseball and basketball. Professor Anayama, a former university sumo champion, blackmails graduating (and slim) student Shuhei into joining the decimated university team, or he doesn’t graduate. Along with a pro wrestler, an unpopular, chubby guy, and a gaijin (white guy), the team begins training for competition, even though none of them cares about sumo at all. Gradually, they develop a love and respect for the traditional sport.
