All of the films star Kayama as Yuichi Tanuma, nicknamed the Wakadaishō (若大将) meaning "young ace" or "whizz kid" for his prowess in various sports. His perpetual antagonist is the lecherous Shinjiro Ishiyama, played by Kunie Tanaka, who is nicknamed "Aodaishō" (青大将), the Japanese name of the Japanese rat snake.[4][5]
