1929 in Japanese-ruled Taiwan. The origins of Taiwanese baseball. The KANO baseball team broke racial barriers as it consisted of Han Chinese, native Taiwanese, and Japanese. Director Umin Boyas Kano (2014), co-produced by 魏德聖 Wei Te-Sheng, 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.
