The official Hinomaru Sumo website has revaled the voice actor playing the role of Dr. Kanie. The frontman of the Sekima II band, Demon Kakka or Demon Kogure, will be lending his voice to the Doctor. Kanie is the resident medical expert that helps sumo wrestlers heal quickly. Given what happened in the last episode of the series, Dr. Kanie's introduction is not surprising.

Kounosuke Uda and Yasutaka Yamamoto are credited as directors, James Shimoji produces the music and Kawada is the original creator. The opening theme is FIRE GROUND by Official HIgeda-dism and the ending theme is Hiizuru Basho by Omedetai Atama de Naniyori.
