My Take
The ring name is the part I keep returning to. His stablemaster built it from Atami, the hot-spring town he comes from, and Fuji, taken from the master's own fighting name, and the real given name, Sakutaro, stayed attached to it as well. Most wrestlers shed their old identity at the door. Born in 2002, he went from Hiryu High School into the Isegahama stable, debuted in November 2020, then won the jonokuchi and jonidan titles back to back the following year. He became the first sekitori Atami has ever produced and reached sekiwake in 2026. Every time the announcer says his name, a small coastal town gets carried up the rankings with him.
