My Take
Fujita came out of Sabae, Fukui's eyeglass town, studied at Aoyama Gakuin, and had founded and listed an internet company before he was thirty. What strikes me is what he did with the winnings. Rather than defend a profitable business he built ABEMA and swallowed years of losses, then turned mahjong into a pro league. A gambler in a CEO's suit.
