Minoru Fujita (born September 5, 1977) is a UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, possibly one of the most storied indy wrestlers in Japan. He debuted for Big Japan Pro Wrestling in 1997, but he soon diversified towards a variety of other promotions, including Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling, Wrestling/{{Battlarts}}, Kaientai Dojo, Tokyo Pro Wrestling, Mexican promotions (where he formed part of Nosawa Rongai's Tokyo Gurentai) and even Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, playing always the gimmick of a young junior punk willing to challenge anybody in any style. In 2004, he found finally his niche in Wrestling/ProWrestlingZERO1, where he developed as a wrestler by becoming Wrestling/IkutoHidaka's tag team partner and passing years of exciting junior ventures, extending to Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling and Wrestling/FightingOperaHUSTLE, until leaving for a change in 2011. He returned to work as a roaming freelancer since, having developed a reputation as one of the most consistent all-terrain wrestlers in Japan. To put it simple, there are not many things in professional wrestling that Minoru Fujita hasn't done.

!! "Deceiving Tropes":
* BashBrothers: First and most known with Wrestling/IkutoHidaka (collectively known as Skull & Bones) and later with Takuya Sugawara.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After his return to Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, he demanded to face heavyweights instead of juniors like him. Cue to Yutaka Yoshie, Blue Wolf and Wrestling/KensukeSasaki squashing him.
* BoringButPractical: Has no flashy or spectacular moves, in part due to his training in shoot-style company Battlarts, so he prefers holds and drivers.
* BrattyHalfPint: His gimmick as a young wrestler, something admittedly pretty common in puroresu. He and Gran Naniwa also quit Wrestling/MichinokuProWrestling because they were tired of doing dojo boy chorus.
* ConspicuousGloves: One of his personal trademarks was wearing black leather gloves (full ones, not FingerlessGloves) during his matches. He dropped it after many years.
* DelinquentHair: With a yellow stripe.
