Production and release

Chūzumō was written and planned by Hayao Miyazaki, with storyboards by the director of the film, Akihiko Yamashita. The storyboards took three months to complete. The story is based on a Japanese folk tale, Nezumi no Sumō. The film depicts scenery and locations based on actual places in Nagano Prefecture.

It premiered at the Ghibli Museum on January 3, 2010. This was Yamashita's directorial debut, and—at the time of its release—it was the first film by Studio Ghibli to premier at the Ghibli Museum in four years. As part of the promotions for the film, wrestlers from the Arashio stable, including Ōyutaka Masachika, were invited to the museum where they held a sumō tournament in front of a group of children.
