Plawres Sanshiro

Plawres Sanshiro (プラレス3四郎, Puraresu Sanshirō) is a Japanese manga series written by Jirō Gyū and illustrated by Minoru Kamiya. It was serialized in the Akita Shoten magazine Weekly Shōnen Champion from 1982 to 1985. An anime television series adaptation was broadcast from 1983 to 1984. The name is a shortened derivative of "Plastic Model Wrestling Sanshiro" and the visuals of the characters, in particular the PlaWrestler robots, were different from the manga.

The story is about a young boy named Sanshiro Sugata and his miniature PlaWrestler pocket robot with super LSI circuit named Juohmaru. Initially, the show was about Sanshiro's battles with Juohmaru against other PlaWrestlers in robot battle tournaments that were a hybrid blend of modern professional wrestling, hi-tech robot wars and Japanese noh theatre.[citation needed]

As the series went on, its focus shifted to Sanshiro exploring the possible uses of PlaWrestling technology in medical implants, and his clash against those who wished to use it for military purposes instead.

Sanshiro is the series' protagonist and a PlaWres modeler. His PlaWrestler, Juohmaru (柔王丸 Jūōmaru), is custom-made. Initially, Sanshiro is an ambitious rookie, and his overconfidence and brashness leads to several mistakes. As the series, progresses, Sanshiro learns to think more rationally and care for others.

Kyoko is Sanshiro's friend and later love interest. She is an assistant judo instructor at the Sugata family dojo. An energetic and outspoken girl, she does not hesitate to scold Sanshiro whenever he makes a mistake. Her PlaWrestler is (桜姫, Sakurahime).

Shota is Sanshiro's best friend, whose job is collecting information of any kind, particularly on rival modelers. Shota is hyperactive, flirtatious, a loudmouth and quick to judge on first impressions. However, he takes his duties seriously.

Tetsuya is Juohmaru's mechanic, responsible for fine tuning him, upgrading him and repairing him. He is shown to be very capable, a quick thinker and an innovator, although at times he has taken offence at Sanshiro overriding him for Juohmaru's maintenance.

Shinji is Juohmaru's programmer. His code, along with Sanshiro's manual control, guides Juohmaru in the battle ring. Like Tetsuya, Shinji is portrayed to be good at his job and a cool thinker compared to Sanshiro and Shota.
