Hinomaru Sumo is an anime series that aired on Tokyo MX from October 2018 to March 2019. The show is based on a manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Kawada. The story of Hinomaru Sumo revolves around a high school student named Ushio Hinomaru who dreams of becoming a sumo wrestler, despite his small stature. Ushio is passionate about the sport, and he idolizes his father, who was a great sumo wrestler. Ushio decides to join his high school's sumo club, but he finds that the members are unmotivated and lack the drive to win.

However, Ushio is determined to turn the club around and make it successful. He convinces his friend and classmate, Shinya Ozeki, to join the club as well. They recruit several other members, including Kei Mitsuhashi, Yuma Gojo, and Jin Yomoda. Together, they work hard to improve their skills and win competitions.

Throughout the series, the characters face obstacles and challenges both in and out of the ring. They must overcome personal struggles, such as self-doubt and insecurity, as well as external challenges, such as tough opponents and strict rules. The show explores themes of hard work, perseverance, and friendship.

The animation style of Hinomaru Sumo is clean and colorful, with dynamic fight scenes that capture the intensity of sumo wrestling. The character designs are distinctive and memorable, with each wrestler having a unique appearance and personality. The voice acting in both the Japanese and English dubs is excellent, with standout performances from Ricco Fajardo as Ushio, Tyson Rinehart as Ozeki, and Brandon Potter as Gojo.

One of the strengths of Hinomaru Sumo is its portrayal of sumo wrestling. The show takes great care to accurately depict the techniques and rules of the sport, as well as the culture surrounding it. Viewers will learn about the various techniques used in sumo wrestling, as well as the importance of honor and respect in the sport.

Another notable aspect of the show is its emphasis on character development. Each of the main characters has a unique personality and backstory, and they all undergo growth and change over the course of the series. Ushio, in particular, is a compelling protagonist who inspires his teammates and viewers alike with his passion and determination.

Overall, Hinomaru Sumo is a well-crafted anime series that combines thrilling action, compelling characters, and insight into the world of sumo wrestling. Fans of sports anime and shonen series should definitely give this show a watch.
