A Taiwanese high school baseball team travels to Japan in 1931 to compete in a national tournament.
       Under Japanese rule, an underdog high school baseball team from southern Taiwan defeats the heretofore superior northern teams and win a rare opportunity to represent the colony in the 1931 empire-wide tournament. Comprised of Japanese, Han Chinese, and native Taiwanese player, "Kanô," the Kagi Nourin School team, must integrate the ethnically mixed roster and make the best of its unique strengths to not just survive but thrive in the elite league.

Kano is a 2014 Taiwanese baseball film directed by Umin Boya and co-produced by Wei Te-Sheng. The film depicts the multiracial Kano baseball team from southern Taiwan overcoming extreme odds to represent the island in the 1931 Japanese High School Baseball Championship at Koshien Stadium, when Taiwan was still under Japanese rule. Performing beyond all expectations, the underdog team advanced to the championship game in the tournament.
