Food Fighter is a drama about a man who enters "all you can eat" contests to support the orphanage that he grew up. He volunteers in an orphanage along with Fukada Kyoko. A girl that Mitsuru is attracted to. Anyway, Mitsuru works for a large food manufacturer and wears a suit which leads you to believe he has succeeded in life as a hardworking businessman but the truth is that Mitsuru is actually a custodian for the company. The main premise of this drama is how Japanese society can be very judgmental on people who have parents and those who don't. This drama also stars Miyazawa Rie who plays the wife of the president. The president has combined gourmet eating and gambling and runs these "all you can eat" contests in the building's basement. Mitsuru is the reigning champion. He wins millions but always turns it over to the orphanage. Also, part of the storyline is the relationship of Mitsuru and 8-year old Yuta. A child whose mother is dead and his father is in prison. Yuta is very much like how Mitsuru used to be and Mitsuru tries to help the young child. As for the ability to eat a lot, Mitsuru's life sheds a clue that since he was deprived of love, he has an appetite that will never be satisfied. One day Yuta is caught for shoplifting and is slapped in the mouth by a police officer. Mitsuru comes to the boy's defense and the police officer tells Mitsuru that the boy is like the way he is because he doesn't have any parents.
