Fujiwara's got that intimidating look—big guy with a scarred, rough face that screams yakuza, plus he shaves his eyebrows, which only adds to the menacing vibe. He faced Ippo early in Ippo's pro career, serving as his second opponent in the ring.
What made Fujiwara notable was his willingness to bend the rules. He relied heavily on headbutts and other dirty tactics, though he was slick enough to mostly get away with it. The ref did catch him once, but that didn't really stop him from mixing foul play into his fighting style. Skilled fighter or not, a lot of his game revolved around doing whatever the ref wasn't looking at.
