Kiyoshi Oze, aka Enno, the most hot-headed sumo wrestler, has been presented to us in a Netflix original Japanese sports comedy, Sanctuary. Kiyoshi Oze, a young lad from Fukoaka, won the Sumo Jonokuchi category and has joined Okayata Ensho’s stable to battle in the forthcoming tournaments. While Enno had impressive talent in wrestling, he wasn’t a big fan of consistent practice. His arrogant personality was another factor that was hurting his chances of success. However, over time and after a few tournament victories, Enno realized that only winning the tournaments wasn’t necessary, as he would also have to win the hearts of his spectators as well. Although Enno’s unusual and intimidating persona was entertaining to watch on television, the series aimed to show a shift in Enno’s behavior during his career as a wrestler, conveying the message that all it takes to be an ideal...

What does it take to become a world-class athlete? No, I’m not referring to any specific sport, but in general, the most important traits of sportsmanship are motivation, dedication to the sport, and humbleness. In the Netflix Original Japanese sports drama Sanctuary, the sumo champion-in-the-making, Kiyoshi Oze, showed his incredible skill and commitment to his sport, but he lacked the most crucial quality of all: decency and humility toward his fellow competitors. The protagonist of the tale is a novice sumo wrestler named Kiyoshi Oze, aka Enno, who recently won the Jonokuchi division of Sumo and joined the famous Ensho stable to improve his wrestling. But Kiyoshi isn’t drawn to Sumo because he loves it; rather, all he needs is money. Nevertheless, despite being a talented wrestler, his bratty attitude causes all the other stablemates to dislike him. Let’s see if Oze ever learns the value of...

Debt, violence, family dysfunction…
Pushed to the brink, delinquent Kiyoshi Oze (Wataru Ichinose) takes on the world of sumo as a wrestler under the name “Enno” in this bold and intense human drama.
While sumo is known across the globe as a part of traditional Japanese culture and a religious ritual passed down for over 1,500 years, the world of this sport remains veiled in secrecy. The “dohyo,” the ring where the sumo matches are fought, is truly a “sanctuary” built on the foundation of this unusual world.
Unmotivated to train, often skipping practice and defying his more experienced seniors, Oze is branded as a hopeless case, but he gradually delves deeper into the world of sumo. This human drama depicts Oze and the young people surrounding the world of sumo as they struggle to find their way in life, including Shimizu (Shota Sometani), who loves the sport but is not blessed with an ideal physique,...
