Breaking Konishiki’s 42-year-old post-war record of earning four consecutive gold stars (kinboshi) right after his Yokozuna challenge, 177cm and 120kg maegashira Fujinokawa is rewriting professional sumo history. Known as the "Reiwa Ushiwakamaru," what makes this 21-year-old rising star so overwhelmingly strong?

This video dives deep into his unconventional secrets to strength and his unexpected personal side, including a massive blunder in London right in front of Chairman Hakkaku. We also explore the tearful reason why he chose not to inherit his father's shikona "Oikari" despite carrying a 148-year family tradition, his heartbreaking childhood farewell, and the deep family bonds with his father (Stablemaster Koyama) who raised him as a single parent and his mother in heaven.

Be sure to watch until the end to discover his incredible appeal and sumo philosophy, highly praised by sumo legends such as Mainoumi, Kotokaze, Wakanohana, and Chairman Hakkaku!
