School Wars: Hero (スクール・ウォーズ／ＨＥＲＯ, sukūru wōzu hero) is a 2004 film directed by Japanese film director Ikuo Sekimoto. It is based on the 1984 to 85 TBS TV drama School Wars which starred by Shinji Yamashita.
Set in the mid-1970s, the film is based on the true story of Yoshiharu Yamaguchi, a teacher and former Japanese international rugby union player, who turned-around a failing high school in Kyoto, giving special attention to the rugby team, which included the most disruptive students among its members.
