My Take
Honestly, what gets me about Fujinokawa is the math: born in 2005, and he's already out there with a shikona, knotted into a mawashi, planting his feet on the clay while most of us at that age were still figuring out how to do laundry. He came up through Saitama Sakae, which is basically a sumo factory, so I trust that the grind is real and the fundamentals are drilled deep. I don't have stats to wave around, and frankly I don't care much, because with a young rikishi the personality lives in the grip, the patience, that refusal to give ground at the edge of the ring. He's pure upside right now, a kid still filling out his frame and his nerve, and I'm just quietly, happily curious to see how big he gets.
