About Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!!

Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!! (Abarenbou Rikishi!! Matsutarou) arrives as a sports anime by Toei Animation (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: Matsutarou Sakaguchi is a giant roughneck man with strength far beyond everyday people. He never uttered words like "work hard," "strive," and "dream" like the typical shounen manga protagonist.

More of the story: However, he is stronger than anyone and peerless in sumo wrestling. His greatest weakness is his own carefree personality. He grows into a full-fledged sumo wrestler.

In a sports series like this, training arcs, rivalry and match tension keep the stakes personal. It will appeal most to anyone who likes underdog stories and competition.
