It featured martial arts film star Sonny Chiba performing shorinji kempo techniques and playing the role of the founder.

In 1976, a movie was made about the life of Doshin So. He wrote a bestseller titled Shorinji Kempo: Philosophy and Techniques,and in 1975 it was abridged and reprinted in the United States as What Is Shorinji Kempo? In the 33 years that followed the founding of the art, he dedicated his life to developing young men and women into strong adults through his philosophical and physical teachings. Two years later, he created the Japan Shorinji Kempo Federation, and in 1974 he set up the World Shorinji Kempo Organization. In December 1951, Doshin So founded the Kongo Zen Sohonzan temple in Tadotsu with shorinji kempo as its main teaching thus he was able to teach the art despite the Allies' prohibition on martial arts training. So he opened a dojo and began the task of rebuilding the character, morale and backbone of the Japanese people by using his shorinji kempo techniques as the bait to attract new students and as a vehicle to teach his message of Zen philosophy. When he failed to get his message across, he realized that words alone were not enough to modify minds. Because of his concern for his country and desire to end its mass depression, he began lecturing young people. Doshin So returned to Japan in 1946 only to find his nation in a post-World War II state suffering from moral decay and dismal self-esteem.
