Synopsis:

Based on the events in the life of legendary Korean martial artist Choi Bae-dal (Oyama Masutatsu). Or more precisely, the film is based largely on a famous cartoon series by Bang Hak-ki, featuring Choi Bae-dal (1922-1994), a real life figure who moved to Japan during the colonial period and established himself as a much-admired karate fighter by founding a new version of the martial arts form called “Kyokushin Karate.”

In 1934, the young Choi Bae-dal watches his farm servant, Bum-soo (Jeong Doo-hong), fighting in the market in Gimjae, Korea. Bae-dal admires Bum-soo and starts to learn the art of fighting. Seven years later, 18-year-old Bae-dal (Yang Dong-geun) smuggles himself to Japan to go to an aviation school but instead finds himself being forced into the Kamikaze program. He resists and fights with the Japanese instructor Kato, a karate master and captain of the program. Bae-dal is shamefully defeated and earns Kato’s scorn.
