Hîrô Shô plot

Yuki is one of the many "freeters" or part-time workers in Japan. He can barely make ends meet on the fringes of the crumbling economy. During the day he works in a factory where he selects and packs bananas. Due to the large student debt he has, he cannot afford much in the evenings. He is therefore only a little behind his computer in his small apartment. His only friend is Takeshi, his partner in the disbanded "Fujiyama Boys" comedy duo. When he is unceremoniously fired from the banana factory, it is Takeshi who helps Yuki back into a job in a so-called "Hero Show". These companies go to shopping centers and fairgrounds, and perform the adventures of superheroes such as Super Sentai and Kamen Rider for childish audiences.
