Something fishy is going on in Minami-Chita!

Picture this: giant sea bream weighing around one ton charging and attacking each other in clouds of sand while being chased by near-naked men before returning to the sea where they splash and bob about!

Is it a Godzilla-like movie remake of Jaws? A giant fish version of King Kong? No, it's the annual Sea Bream Festival, held to pray for the safety of Toyohama's residents and fishermen's safe return. Built with 10–18-meter-long bamboo stalks and wood, then covered in a cloth skin, the giant fish are paraded around by some 60 young men who shout and cheer as the shoulder the giant fish, fins moving and all!
