Mori Kazuo, founder of Toyo Suisan, known for the "Maruchan" brand.

The starting point of his life was his harrowing experience at the Nomonhan Incident, a frigid battle where the survival rate was said to be just 4%. "If you consider that you could have died there, most things wouldn't seem so difficult" -- a man who survived the brink of death, whose extraordinary risk tolerance and tenacity would go on to create numerous legends in Japanese business history.

An unreasonable takeover attempt by a major trading company, a head-on "Udon War" with the reigning champion Nissin Foods, a despicable patent lawsuit in the United States, and a "stay-at-home strategy" during Mexico's national crisis...

This film explores the eventful life of this "ordinary laborer" who built one of Japan's leading companies, yet loathed the luxurious CEO's office and wore work clothes (nap clothes) his entire life, cut his retirement benefits by one-seventh, and declined all government decorations.
