Kengan Ashura

In *Kengan Ashura*, corporate negotiations don’t end at the conference table—they’re decided in the ring. For centuries, influential merchants and companies have settled disputes through sanctioned gladiator matches, a brutal tradition overseen by the Kengan Association and rooted in arenas that trace back to the Edo period.

Ouma Tokita, known as “The Ashura,” enters this world determined to prove he’s the strongest. He’s recruited by Hideki Nogi of the Nogi Group, who assigns the unassuming, middle-aged Kazuo Yamashita as Ouma’s manager. Thrown into a relentless circuit of Kengan bouts, the pair faces a gauntlet of ruthless fighters chasing the same peak.
