Profile:
Fujimoto was recruited into Tenchu-Do directly out of high school at the age of 18. His enormous size and strength were what attracted many to the young man, who was seen as having vast potential in many avenues including wrestling, sumo, strong man, and even American football. He decided on pro-wrestling almost immediately, as he himself, was a huge fan wrestling. After two years of training, Fujimoto excelled in his own way because of his sheer massiveness in both size and power. So much so that Torayashi Ryoku offered the young graduate the opportunity to join him on a worldwide odyssey. Fujimoto gave it much thought and eventually accepted, along with three others. Upon returning to Japan after the freelance journey ended, Fujimoto had honed his power based skill set and bulked up past the 300 pound mark. And now he aims to follow in the footsteps of his idol.

Fujimoto has always been a giant, being born at an enormous 20 pounds! But, he is also a gentle one until the bell rings, where he turns into a powerhouse of a fighter. Easily received by audiences due to his massive size compared to the average Japanese person, along with his typically joyous demeanor. While in America during the two year odyssey, he picked up an affection for American Football, namely the Philadelphia Eagles. Whom he patterns his ring wear in color after and has some influence on his style as well. A somewhat unknown fact is that Fujimoto's idol and inspiration for pro-wrestling is none other than legend, Kazuma Fujita.

Masakazu Fujimoto, in the wake of Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE's chaos was recruited by Tenshin Komatsu to be the "muscle" of his faction LOVE. Fujimoto helped Komatsu break into Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON at DUE TIME in 2008. However, Fujimoto re-appeared alone and begged for forgiveness, basically insinuating that Tenshin Komatsu had forced him to do the attack. After much begging, and crying, Yuki Nomura allowed Fujimoto to redeem himself free of Komatsu. Fujimoto spent months without focus before hooking up as tag team partner with Akuma Toyota as HEAVY WAR. HEAVY WAR soon evolved into a full fledged faction with Fujimoto staying loyal to his friend.

Masakazu Fujimoto has gained fame for several small roles in major TV dramas. Usually playing an evil character of some kind due to his impressive size. However, Fujimoto's latest has attracted a brand new audience for Fujimoto in the drama "LOVE SCRAMBLE". He was cast as "Genji", playing the gentle best friend to the lead female named "Ayami". Fujimoto plays the character as hopelessly in love with the main, but the lead female (predictably) can never notice him. In the last season, Genji transformed from a gentle man to Ayami's savior, saving her from being attacked by a group of men and finally getting Ayami to notice him as more then a friend. As such, Fujimoto now has a strong contingent of teenage female fans who come to every show chanting "Genji" to encourage him...Since LOVE SCRAMBLE, Fujimoto has had several small roles with his natural charisma, but has put his wrestling career as priority #1 for now.
