Undou-kai (sports festival, sports day) is a cliché material in anime and manga.

It’s a big event in Japanese school.

Undou-kai are usually held in September or October.

Students make teams and compete against each other with such events as relay race, 50m foot race, three-legged race, piggyback fight, and so on.

Some events are serious but others are fun!

Bite-a-Bread race (called Pan-kui-kyoso) is a typical game in Undo-kai.

It’s based on a regular footrace but the runner has to get one of the bread hanging in the course by his/her mouth and take it to the goal.

It sounds silly but it’s fun (^_^)

This is JAPAN Style!
