The Calamari Wrestler

Minoru Kawasaki, Ika resuraa (2004)

The Calamari Wrestler. Taguchi, the current star of Japan Super Pro Wrestling seems to have it all, until, at the moment of his greatest triumph, he is challenged by a ferocious fighting cephalopod, who teaches him just how difficult it is to put a full nelson on someone with no arm bones. Taguchi seeks revenge, and the owners of Super Pro wrestling try to exploit the situation - in the meantime the Calamari Wrestler bides his time at a local temple and market, preparing for ultimate wrestling glory.
