Rikuoh-9

During the race in Gyōda, Kōichi helps a runner who cannot move and is outstripped by other runners. But Daichi makes up for lost time. However, the employees of Kohaze-ya protest Kōichi and they decide not to work overtime. Thanks to it, Kōichi is afraid that he will be late for delivering tabi by the appointed date. Then he meets Jōji Misono, president of Felix that sells outdoor goods and plans to by Kohaze-ya. They enjoy fishing near Mt. Fuji wearing the products of Felix and Kōichi learns Misono's failure in business when he ran a company in the US in the past.

After that, the employees become conciliatory but Akemi Masaoka still opposes selling Kohaze-ya. So Kōichi plans not to sell his company but affiliate with Misono because some of the subsidiaries of Felix have already retired or their business style have exactly changed. Kōichi tries to protect the reputation of Kohaze-ya. On the other hand, Artlantis Japan sponsors Hiroto Mogi again. Then Junji Sayama of the company often visits the clubhouse of Daiwa Foods Running Team and tells Mogi how his rival Naoyuki Kezuka train himself persistently.

Rikuoh-8

The machine of "shiruku rei" breaks down and it's impossible to make new Rikuoh. Kohaze-ya needs to be financed to renew the machine but it seems to be so hard. Takahiko Murano leaves the company. And Tarō Sakamoto visits Kōichi Miyazawa and advises him to sell Kohaze-ya. He who works at Mabashi branch of Saitama Chuo Bank sees a bankruptcy of a small local company with his eyes. Needless to say, Kōichi never agrees with him. But it's true that his company reaches to a dead-end so he tells Hiroto Mogi that he can no longer sponsor him.

Kōichi (Kōji Yakusho) visits Hiroto Mogi (Ryōma Takeuchi) and tells him that he won't be able to sponsor him any more

Though being in such a condition, Kohaze-ya still keeps making tabi. And one day Kōhei Ebata informs Kōichi that an ekiden race for the citizens of Gyōda will be held. He says it's a chance of promoting Rikuoh and he, Kōichi and the employees of Kohaze-ya decide to join the race wearing the shoes. However on that day, Kōichi finds that Toshimitsu Yasuda hurts his foot and it's hard for him to run. Then Sakamoto appears there.

Rikuohー6

Kōichi, Daichi, Tarō Sakamoto and the employees of Kohaze-ya celebrate Hiroto Mogi's victory over Naoyuki Kezuka. However, the papers on the following day say that Kezuka could not do his best because of his bad condition and devote very little space to praise Mogi's run. And in the sport magazine whose editor interviewed with Mogi, there is no mention of Rikuoh. It seems that the press doesn't want to praise Mogi but hope that Kezuka will be back in good form. Moreover, Asia Industries advertise in the magazine. Mogi gets angry with it.

Hiroto Mogi (Ryōma Takeuchi, centre) and his teammates read the magazine but their expectations are betrayed.

To make the matter worse, Tachibana Raschel, a company who provides the texture for the upper of Rikuoh asks Kohaze-ya to cancel transactions. It is clear that Atlantis Japan exerts pressure on the company because Kōichi and Daichi meet Obara and Sayama of Atlantis Japan when they accept the cancellation. Though they make cynical remarks to them, Kōichi tells Obara that he has an eye for the material for their shoes and the words move the president of Tachibana Raschel. Anyway, the plan of making Rikuoh hits a snag.

Kohaze-ya cannot decide whether they should keep making Rikuoh or not.

Rikuoh-5

Kōichi, Daichi and the employees of Kohaze-ya cheer for Hiroto Mogi at the New Year Ekiden Race. During the race, Mogi catches up with his rival Naoyuki Kezuka, member of Asia Industries Running Team and overtakes him in his leg. Then he hands over his sash to next runner Takao Hirase. Hirase runs with all his might and is praised by his teammates though he cannot finish in the first place. After the race, Mogi mentions his Rikuoh in the interview.

The employees of Kohaze-ya cheer for Hiroto Mogi with a banner that says "Go for it, Hitoro Mogi and Rikuoh!"

Rikuoh becomes to be well-known and some runners ask Kohaze-ya sponsor them. And Mogi emphasises in the interview with an editor of a sport magazine that Rikuoh is ideal. On the other hand, Hirase retires from his running career and one night he visits the clubhouse of Daiwa Food. Then the ground is illuminated suddenly and his teammates appear to say good-bye to him (*).

Rikuoh-4

Thanks to the big hit of "Ashigaru Taishō", Kohaze-ya gets good business results however Fukuko Nishii collapses from the heart attack during the work and Haruyuki Iiyama is assaulted by a thug. Because of their hospitalisations, Hiroshi Ōhashi of Saitama Chuo Bank hesitates to finance the company. And Kenji Obara of Atlantis Japan who is greedy to sponsor Hiroto Mogi, who recovers from the injury. Obara and Sayama try to make "R-II", their main product for him and tells him that Kohaze-ya is in a difficult financial condition. But Takahiko Murano who still visits the clubhouse of Daiwa Food Running Team denies their words.

While Iiyama stays in hospital, a machine of "shiruku rei" develops trouble. Daichi tries to repair it and asks Iiyama to show him the design. Iiyama refuses it at first as it's so important for him but finally makes Motoko deliver the design to Kohaze-ya. At last Daichi repairs the machine and makes "shiruku rei" again and he, Kōichi and Murano give many pairs of Rikuoh to Mogi. The New Year starts and Kōichi, Daichi and the employees of Kohaze-ya go to Gunma to cheer Mogi in the New Yeat Ekiden Race but they are disappointed to see him who wears R-II. However, he takes them off and wears Rikuoh the next moment.

Rikuoh-3

After many complications, Iiyama and Daichi succeed in making "shiruku rei" whose solidity satisfies the quality standard of Rikuoh. Then Kōichi dines with the employees at Soramame and thanks them for their efforts. Then he tries to make Rikuoh for Mogi, however, he is asked to retire from running because of his injury. And Takahiko Murai, a shoe fitter of Atlantis Japan quits his job because he disagrees with Obara about whether the company should sponsor Mogi or not.

On the other hand, Kōichi faces financial difficulty. The more he devotes himself to develop Rikuoh, the less Kohaze-ya make a profit from making tabi. And Hiroshi Ōhashi of Saitama Chuo Bank tells him unless the company's situation changes for better, he should prepare for the worst. Kōichi becomes confused but he gets an idea from his children's conversation and plans making new-type jika-tabi, a kind of footwear worn by workmen or farmers using "shiruku rei". It is named "Ashigaru Taishō"(*) and is a big hit.

(*) The words mean a commander who leads a troop of ashigaru (foot soldier) but it also mean that a workman who wear the tabi can work with alacrity.
