Baymax Becomes a Sumo Wrestler in Exclusive Collaboration with the Japan Sumo Association
The Japan Sumo Association has announced a unique collaboration featuring Disney's beloved Baymax from the animated film Big Hero 6. Starting November 10th, seven exclusive Baymax-themed products will be available at the Fukuoka venue for the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament. These limited-edition items will later be offered online through the association’s official store, "SuMALL."
Baymax, the inflatable healthcare robot from the 2014 Academy Award-winning movie, now takes on the role of a sumo wrestler. This collaboration highlights Baymax's “soft body,” drawing playful parallels with sumo wrestlers. One of the standout features is the use of "sumo-jii" calligraphy, traditionally used by sumo referees, to write "Baymax" in Japanese, adding a cultural twist to these collectibles.
