Synopsis
Koitarou, son of disgraced sumo legend, enters ring to redeem father's legacy and seize championship.
Koitarou Samejima is the only child of the Karyuu, a sumo wrestler infamous for being foul-mouthed and vicious in the ring. Koitarou took pride in his father's strength and attitude, but one event changed it all. His father got involved in a bar fight, injuring multiple people. This led to him being expelled from the sumo league. Since the incident, his father was no longer the proud and strong sumo wrestler that Koitarou always admired. Years have past since his father died by challenging a truck in a tackling match. Now, Koitarou can't resist entering the sumo world and challenging all who stand in his way to become the next champion. (Source: MangaHelpers)
